KICKBOXER Andrew Tate has been banned from TikTok after getting booted from Instagram and Facebook over his "toxic" views on women.
A statement from the social media goliath said they were removing Tate's account for violating its policies.
They said the Ex-Big Brother contestant's posts ran contrary to TikTok policy that bars content that "attacks, threatens, incites violence against, or otherwise dehumanizes an individual or a group", according to the Washington Post.
Meta said it had also removed Tate's official accounts from Facebook and Instagram on similar grounds.
Tate, 35, has been condemned in recent months after sharing his disturbing views about women in online videos.
He had more than 4.6million Instagram followers at the time his Instagram account was banned.

In a previous interview with another YouTuber, Tate admitted he was "absolutely a misogynist".

"The effect that Tate’s brand of vitriolic misogyny can have on the young male audience is deeply concerning," it said in a statement.
"His content is widely celebrated by his fans for having brought back ‘traditional masculinity.’ However, we also know that misogyny can be a gateway to other extreme and discriminatory views."
