Controversial internet personality and self-proclaimed “alpha male” Andrew Tate has agreed to a three-year restraining order issued by a Los Angeles County judge, barring him from possessing firearms in the United States and requiring him to stay away from model Brianna Stern.
This legal development marks a significant moment in the ongoing saga surrounding Tate, who has faced multiple allegations and legal battles both in the U.S. and abroad.
What the Restraining Order Includes
The restraining order, signed on September 4, 2025, includes the following provisions:
- No contact with Brianna Stern, either directly or indirectly.
- Stay at least 100 yards away from Stern and her residence.
- No possession of firearms, ammunition, or firearm parts within U.S. jurisdiction.
- Stern is legally permitted to record Tate without his consent to document any violations.
Both parties agreed to the terms voluntarily, and the judge emphasized that there were no admissions or findings of wrongdoing. Tate’s legal team confirmed that the decision was strategic and not an admission of guilt.
Background of the Case
The restraining order stems from allegations made by Brianna Stern, who claims Tate choked, beat, and sexually assaulted her during an encounter at a Beverly Hills hotel in March 2025. Stern later filed a civil lawsuit for sexual assault and battery, while Tate responded with a $50 million defamation countersuit.
Although the Los Angeles District Attorney declined to pursue criminal charges, the civil case remains active. Stern’s legal team has expressed confidence in taking the matter to trial.
Firearm Ban: What It Means
The firearm restriction is enforceable only within the United States. Tate, who currently resides abroad, will be prohibited from possessing guns if he enters U.S. territory for court proceedings or other reasons. The judge also noted that the restraining order could be renewed for up to five years or made permanent depending on future developments.
Final Thoughts
Andrew Tate’s agreement to the restraining order may be seen as a tactical move, but it also underscores the growing legal scrutiny surrounding his behavior. As the civil case unfolds, public interest in Tate’s legal entanglements continues to rise—making this a story to watch closely.
