  • Sorcha Eastwood begins legal action over Andrew Tate social media posts - The Lagan Valley MP told the Commons last week that she was a 'survivor of abuse'.

Sorcha Eastwood, a Northern Irish politician, has initiated legal proceedings against Andrew Tate, a controversial social media personality, following a series of posts he made on X (formerly Twitter) in January 2023. These posts, which have since been deleted, were in response to Eastwood's comments on the tragic death of her husband, Dale, who took his own life in 2019. Tate's posts suggested that men's mental health issues are often overlooked, which Eastwood felt was a misrepresentation and an attack on her character. She is seeking damages for defamation, harassment, and misuse of private information. The legal action comes after Eastwood received significant online abuse following Tate's comments, highlighting the broader issue of online harassment and the impact of social media on public figures.
