American model Brianna Stern has made shocking allegations against controversial internet personality Andrew Tate, claiming he orchestrated a six-week imprisonment in Dubai by filing a false police report against her. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Stern found herself trapped in the United Arab Emirates from September 27 to mid-November in what she describes as a calculated trap set by Tate.
The Dubai Trap: How It All Began
The nightmare began when Andrew Tate approached Dubai police in June 2024, alleging that Brianna Stern had posted false information about him online. Under UAE laws, such accusations constitute a criminal offense, and anyone under investigation faces immediate travel restrictions. Stern, who frequently travels to Dubai for modeling assignments, believes Tate was fully aware of her work schedule and deliberately timed his complaint to ensnare her.
On September 27, Stern arrived in Dubai for what she thought would be a routine work trip. For the first two weeks, everything proceeded normally until October 12, when she attempted to board her return flight to the United States. At the airport, authorities stopped her and revealed she was under an official travel ban. Police officials even presented her with social media posts they claimed she had written about Tate - posts Stern insists were completely fabricated and not authored by her.
Six Weeks of Interrogation and Threats
What followed was a harrowing six-week ordeal that completely upended Stern's life. Dubai authorities confiscated her phone and subjected her to multiple interrogation sessions. Despite being an American citizen, even the U.S. Embassy informed her they could not intervene in the matter, leaving her stranded in a foreign country.
The situation escalated when Stern began receiving threatening messages on social media platforms. Some messages explicitly warned her that "Tate will get you," leading her to believe these threats originated from Tate's supporters. Her fears intensified when news broke that Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan had arrived in Dubai during her confinement.
This development was particularly alarming given that Stern had obtained a restraining order against Andrew Tate in the United States back in September. The three-year order specifically prohibited Tate from approaching or contacting her. If Tate had any involvement with the online threats, this would constitute a clear violation of the court order.
Legal Battle Escalates with New Lawsuit
Brianna Stern's attorney, Tony Buzbee, has filed an updated lawsuit that now includes serious charges of false imprisonment and intentional infliction of emotional distress. These new allegations build upon an earlier lawsuit where Stern accused Tate of sexual assault, significantly expanding the legal battle between the two.
While court documents don't specify how Stern finally managed to leave Dubai, she confirmed returning to Los Angeles around November 21, ending her six-week nightmare. The case has drawn significant attention to how legal systems can be potentially manipulated to harass individuals internationally.
The ongoing legal confrontation continues to unfold as Stern seeks justice for what she describes as a premeditated campaign of harassment that left her trapped in a foreign country, separated from her family and professional commitments back home.
