'Andrew Tate nearly choked me unconscious during violent sex': Girlfriend
What's the story
One of the girlfriends of controversial figure Andrew Tate, Bri Stern, has accused him of nearly choking her unconscious during a sexual encounter at Beverly Hills Hotel.
The incident, which took place two weeks ago, prompted her to report to the Beverly Hills police, TMZ reported, citing sources.
In her report, Stern claimed Tate choked her during sex on March 11, and when she asked him to stop as it got rougher, he ignored her pleas.

After Tate fell asleep, Stern took photos of her injuries, reportedly revealing bruising on the side of her face.
Two days later, while in NYC for work, she went to a hospital where she was found to be "post-concussive." This diagnosis was corroborated by medical records acquired by TMZ.
She reported the incident only after Tate and his brother Tristan left for Romania for a Monday check-in regarding their criminal case.
