Andrew Tate faces a civil trial in 2027 over allegations he subjected four women to physical or sexual abuse in the first case of its kind, a court has heard.
At a High Court hearing in central London on Tuesday, Judge Richard Armstrong said the claimants were "seeking damages likely to reach six figures".
Two of the women were in an intimate relationship with the controversial influencer, while the other two worked for his online webcam business at the time of the allegations between 2013 and 2015.
One claims the former professional kickboxer, 38, grabbed her by the throat, assaulted her with a belt and pointed a gun at her face as he said: "You're going to do as I say or there'll be hell to pay".
The court heard that a trial of the claims could be held in early 2027 and could last three weeks.
Tate denies the allegations, with his lawyers saying in his written defence that the claims are false and that all sexual activity was consensual.
His lawyer, Vanessa Marshall KC, who was not required to, and did not, attend the hearing, said Tate intends to give evidence in his defence at trial and will call around 11 witnesses.
Tate pointed a gun at a womans face and told her to do as he said, according to court documents seen by Sky News.
The controversial social media influencer allegedly told her: Im a boss, you're going to do as I say or there'll be hell to pay. The woman, who worked for Tate on his online webcam business, alleges he threatened her daily.
She is one of four women who have launched a civil claim against Tate in the UK, with allegations including rape, assault and coercive control.
At a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, the High Court was told that the case is believed to be the first where allegations of coercive control will be considered in a civil context of whether this can amount to intentional harm, and that a trial could be held over three weeks in January 2027.
