Help! Interview about my story with the War Room of Andrew Tate

[Unlimited]

I got asked by a film studio to be part of a documentary series about Andrew Tate and his War Room. They saw my post from last year and reached out to me. I’ve already had a few Zoom calls with them, and the interview is next week.

I already said yes verbally, but after reading the release form I’m starting to have second thoughts. It gives them very broad rights to use my name, voice, image, and anything I share, apparently worldwide and forever.

I’m also a bit concerned about how much control I’d be giving up over editing, future use, and possible legal claims. I’m based in Germany too, so I’m wondering if the New York law / court clause creates any extra risk for me.

They also asked me to send family photos for the documentary, which makes me even more cautious.

Would you sign something like this, or would you ask for changes first? If you’d change it, what parts would you try to narrow or remove?

Also, are there any other risks I should think about as an ex-member doing this interview, or any precautions you’d take?

Just plan for what you're willing to share. It is not an interrogation.

Just put the contract and this post in Gemini and ask it what part to take out. Ideally don't make yourself identifiable and just give an anonymous testimony and tell them to blow you if they push back.

Also, I later noticed that the first Zoom call may have been recorded without my knowledge, because I hadn’t been told about any recording at the time. On later calls they did ask to record, and I agreed on the condition that I’d get the recordings too, but I asked twice and they still never sent them.

If there's smoke...

@Unlimited I remember this.

Depends on your risk tolerance. I would definitely at least ask questions about legal risk and see what they say.

If they can’t answer reasonable questions about what you’re getting into or accommodate your requests, the I’d consider declining.

Thanks for all the replies. 

I sent them an email with all my concerns and will wait for an answer before I sign anything.

This is highly suspicious, talk to a lawyer.

If they haven’t shared what they agreed to already, don’t expect any compliance or compassion if things get hairy after your interview.

Unless there is some significant gain for you with going through with this, then don’t gamble future life implications away. Most situations like this involve lots of puppets like yourself in order for them to gain fame and fortune.

I’ve been thinking a lot about whether this documentary interview is actually the right thing for me to do.

Part of why I wanted to take part was that I saw it as a chance to try to make amends for some of the harm I caused through my past OnlyFans management business. I also thought it could help warn people about being scammed by Tate and his network. Personally, I don’t think I would benefit much from it apart from getting some public speaking practice, and I can work on that in other ways too.

I spent the last few months preparing for this and really wanted to do it, but the risks now seem too high. I also already sent them photos from that period, and they wanted to use them in the documentary series, which makes me even more uncomfortable. They also sent me the release form only shortly before the interview and are now pushing for a quick signature, which makes me even more hesitant.

On top of that, I’m still trying to sort out some things from the past and make sure everything is properly in order, so I’m not sure whether doing this interview right now is actually helpful or whether it could create unnecessary problems. Most friends and family members have also advised me against doing it.

One idea I had was to still do the interview, but only if my face is blurred. That might be a safer compromise.
