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.
