So called influencer ‘Mizzy’ told Newsnight ‘its a woman’s job’ to criticise Andrew Tate – as critics call out the BBC for giving the TikTok troublemaker a platform.
The 18-year-old father appeared on the show last night to discuss the hold social media ‘bad boy’ and misogynist Andrew Tate still appears to have on teenage boys.
Mizzy has been wearing a tag following his release on bail from HMP Thameside over alleged breaches of a criminal behaviour order.
Fined for entering someone’s home for a prank he filmed, he was also involved in other stunts such as knocking a man into a road, running with an elderly woman’s dog and asking a man on a railway platform if he wanted to die.
Tate, who previously claimed that men own women, earlier gave a BBC interview from Romania where he is under house arrest on suspicion of rape, human trafficking offences and organised crime.

‘[We admire] his confidence and his stride and the way he talks and carries himself.
‘I respect women fully. I was raised by a single mum… I live in the hood like.’
Discussing his past behaviour, Mizzy said: ‘I don’t need to do pranks anymore. I’m established as a prankster – you guys call me a prankster.
‘I don’t look up to Andrew Tate. I don’t think he’s a role model or anything. I don’t look up to nobody – I am my own person – everyone is their own person – we don’t need to look up to no one.’

Feminist author Laura Bates also appeared on the show
Former English-American kickboxer Tate previously told the BBC that he never encouraged people to mistreat females.
‘I have never ever encouraged a student to attack a teacher, male or female ever,’ he said. ‘I preach hard work, discipline.
‘I’m an athlete. I preach anti-drugs, I preach religion, I preach no alcohol, I preach no knife crime. Every single problem with modern society I’m against.’
