Brianna Stern sues Andrew Tate for assault at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Tate’s legal team calls the lawsuit a “blatant cash grab.”
SISTER meme coin surges 12% amid the controversy.
Popular model and crypto influencer Brianna Stern has brought a civil suit against divisive social media personality Andrew Tate for allegedly assaulting her at the Beverly Hills Hotel on March 11. The charges have set off a big stir in both the crypto and entertainment worlds, but Solana-based meme token SISTER—whose owner is linked to Stern—has recorded an unusual 5.4% price jump over the last week.
Stern’s Accusations
Stern went on social media to post her accusations, claiming that she first met Tate for a modeling shoot for his meme coin, DADDY. Stern claimed that Tate had also offered to promote her own meme coin, SISTER.
But Stern also accuses that their relationship turned sour when the consensual encounter became violent. According to her, Tate verbally, physically, and psychologically abused her. She also claimed that after the alleged assault, she went for medical attention in New York, where she was diagnosed with Post-Concussion Syndrome, a sign of possible traumatic brain injury.
Legal Proceedings and Tate’s Response
The suit, allegedly brought in Los Angeles, charges Tate with sexual assault, battery, and gender violence. To date, though, a digital copy of the case hasn’t turned up in public records. Stern has Buzbee Law on his side, a firm that specializes in representing high-profile clients, including those against music tycoon Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Tate has not yet issued a personal statement, but his attorneys at McBride Law have termed the lawsuit a “blatant cash grab” and an attempt to take advantage of their client.
Crypto Market Reaction
In spite of the scandal, SISTER has seen a significant price appreciation. In the last 14 days, the token has appreciated by more than 12%, with a market cap of $370,000 and 550 holders, based on GeckoTerminal statistics. This surprise rally indicates that the publicity around Stern’s accusations might have inadvertently increased investor interest in her project.
As the lawsuit proceeds, the cryptocurrency community remains in disarray, with some standing behind Stern and others defending Tate. The weeks ahead will provide insight into the legal and market implications of this widely publicized case.
