In a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan and his guests were talking about the controversial video of Tate hitting and abusing a woman. Rogan stated, “Why is that bad, but there’s all these videos that I’ve laughed my as* off at dudes b*ll g*gged like CEOs? I’ve not seen them tied behind their back, that’s somehow or another okay.”
“But it’s because the guy is the powerful one. The guy has allowed the woman to do that to him,” Rogan concluded.
Apparently, Tate was titled a ‘woman beater,’ after an old video of him beating a woman resurfaced on the internet. However, Tate later revealed that the woman did it by her choice.
