3:48 PM PT — Bri Stern‘s lawyer Tony Buzbee tells TMZ … “As expected, Andrew Tate filed a counterclaim against Brianna Stern. This follows the lawsuit Ms. Stern filed against Tate in March for violent sexual assault. The tone of Mr. Tate’s counterclaim isn’t a surprise. He has openly proclaimed himself a woman-hater. He had the audacity to tweet: ‘Literally everything females say is r******d.’ Tate brags about how he treats women. This is a quote from him: ‘Slap, slap, grab choke, shut up b*tch, sex.’ When they were together, Tate told Ms. Stern ‘If you don’t start being good, . . . I will f***ing rape you. Because that’s what you deserve.’
“He also told her ‘if you ever f*** with me, I will f***ing kill you. I mean it. I will kill you.’ Tate’s delusion is that he’s so important that he’s above the law. He isn’t. His counterclaim is junk and will be dismissed. More importantly, I can’t wait to get him in front of a Los Angeles jury. He will finally be held accountable for his years of his outrageous and harmful conduct. Although Tate has attempted to scrub his social media, unfortunately for him, we have it all. Tate is nothing more than a big mouthed bully, but this time he picked the wrong person. Ms. Stern won’t be bullied.”
Andrew Tate is going on the legal offensive against his ex-girlfriend Bri Stern … he’s now countersuing her, claiming she defamed him with what he says are fabricated allegations of sexual assault and abuse.
In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Andrew claims Bri orchestrated a deliberate smear campaign against him based on false claims that he choked her during sex despite telling him to stop.
Andrew claims Bri spread the false allegations in the media and online … and he says she was out for profit, fame, and the destruction of his reputation.
We broke the stories … Bri filed a police report in Beverly Hills back in March, claiming he attacked her during sex. She later hired Texas attorney Tony Buzbee and sued Tate for sexual assault.

Andrew vehemently denied her claims from the jump … and he says her allegations were contradicted by medical evidence and expert analysis showing the alleged injuries aligned more with cosmetic procedures than assault.

Tate also claims Bri was out to exploit his name, likeness and persona to promote her cryptocurrency and adult content ventures … and he even says she tried to extort another man in 2022 with similar allegations.
TMZ Studios
As we first reported … prosecutors declined to charge Andrew with a crime … and in his suit, he says Bri kept spreading her false abuse claims even after prosecutors declined the case due to insufficient evidence.
TMZ.com
Andrew is suing Bri for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy, abuse of process, and misappropriation of likeness … and he’s going after her for over $50 million in damages.

Anderson Silva
Give Jake Paul His Flowers
… He’s A ‘Real Fighter’
Published
TMZSports.com
Even though he lost to Jake Paul in 2022, Anderson Silva has nothing but praise for the guy … telling TMZ Sports El Gallo deserves more credit for not only what he’s done for boxing — but for his fighting skills, too.
We caught up with Spider to talk all about his upcoming bout against Tyron Woodley on the Dec. 19 card in Miami … and the combat sports legend says his main goal is to prove his respect for the sport and his opponent.
Silva was originally slated to go up against Chris Weidman … but even with the switcharoo, he’s feeling good and confident leading up to fight night.
Of course, Spider AND Woodley have fought and lost to Paul … and he said he’s watched his opponent’s bouts against the internet superstar as part of his training.
As for working with Most Valuable Promotions again, Silva said the organization is doing an “amazing job” … especially with Paul “changing the game” for fighters and fans.
While folks will be tuning in to see two champs duke it out, all eyes will also be on Paul against Silva … and even though he didn’t give a prediction on the outcome, there was a ton of praise for the Problem Child.
Silva calls out “lazy people” who criticize Paul … ’cause they’re not putting in the same amount of work he is in his craft … they’re just talking.
“The people don’t give the credit to Jake, and the people need to do that. I respect Jake. He’s a real fighter.”
