Andrew Tate is unhappy with his conditions behind bars and is making it known.
The disgraced influencer says he plans to pursue legal action against the Federal Detention Center in Miami after allegedly being placed in a cell without hot water or air conditioning and with what he described as a major roach problem.
“Despite spending 61 days in the SHU, the punitive unit for inmates who attack other prisoners and guards, I have once again had my conditions downgraded,” Tate said in a statement posted to his X account.
Tate claimed he can see “10/15 visible roaches on the ceiling and walls at any one time” and said his conditions are substantially worse than those given to other inmates.
My situation is deteriorating.

Despite spending 61 days in the SHU, the punitive unit for inmates who attack other prisoners and guards, I have once again had my conditions downgraded.
Since the time I have come into this jail I have been forced to endure punitive housing.…
“I have prepared a package, currently with my legal and PR teams, of every single infraction I have witnessed in this facility,” he wrote, before asking anyone who has previously complained about FDC Miami to contact his legal team.
Tate and his brother Tristan have been held at the facility since their July arrests by U.S. Marshals. The arrests are connected to additional sexual offense charges filed in the United Kingdom. The brothers deny wrongdoing and are facing extradition proceedings.
Tate, who previously spent months jailed in Romania, insists that the conditions in the European prison were much better. Trump has thus far, declined to intervene to help the Tate brothers out.
