Andrew Tate, internet personality notorious for misogyny and hate speech, targeted an Indian-American doctor who took a dig at him over a recent photo of his ripped abs. Kirti Patel, gynaecologist based in the US, responded to a post showing Tate flaunting his bare torso.

“I cannot say enough how this body type is *maybe* only attractive to gay men. I have literally turned down dates with gym bros with ripped abs in the past because I find this body type suggestive of aggression and narcissism. I bet other women feel the same,” she wrote on Monday.

Tate, 37, responded to her post with a sharp note, mocking her appearance.

“I’m super disappointed that I’m not attractive to you Kirti. I was only trying to make my arms as big as your nose,” he wrote.

Patel, 51, was incessantly trolled by supporters of Tate, following which she said she is muting the notifications.

Andrew Tate, a former kickboxer, was under house arrest in Romania last year after having been held over alleged human trafficking and rape.

He and his brother allegedly trafficked, recruited and exploited women by coercing them into "pornographic acts with a view to producing and disseminating such material" online.z

In 2016, Tate appeared on the "Big Brother" reality television show in Britain but was removed after a video emerged showing him attacking a woman.

He then turned to social media platforms to promote his divisive views. He currently over 8 million followers on X.

Giving tips on how to be successful, along with misogynist and sometimes violent maxims, his videos have made him one of the world's biggest influencers.
