Andrew Tate has become the latest victim of South Park trolls.
The ex-kickboxer, who was recently freed from Romanian jail after a sex trafficking arrest, was depicted on the comedy show under the guise of “toxic masculinity coach” Alonzo Fineski.
In the episode, which aired on Wednesday, Fineski pulls a gun on Randy Marsh after the character disrespected several strippers in his employ, New York Post reports.
Marsh counters by saying that he was attempting to show his sons a good time.
“Look, I’m just trying to combat the messages that the liberal left is putting out to young men about their male instincts being toxic,” Marsh said to Fineski. “I’m trying to show my son and his nerdy little friend what a real party is because society wants them to be ashamed of their masculine natures.”
Fineski then states that he “will call some friends”.
The party later comes to a crashing halt when the police arrive and reveal that Fineski is a “sex trafficker”.
In response to the episode, the clip was retweeted from Tate’s verified account with a tweet which read: “When I will be proven innocent, I look forward to help create the greatest South Park episode of all time.”
Whether or not Tate, 36, actually collaborates with the show remains to be seen. However, his comments sparked a heated debate.
When I will be proven innocent.

“I don’t think being a character on South Park is quite the flex you think it is,” wrote one user.
“You do realise the episode makes fun of you,” said another person. “Like lil bro, this ain’t a dub.”
“How’s that working out for you so far bud?” asked a third.
Several other users called the kickboxer a “legend”.
“The world hasn’t bin [sic] the same without you Andrew Tate,” one said.
Tate was released from a Romanian jail over the weekend, but will remain under house arrest until April 29 while facing human trafficking and rape charges.
This is not the first time that South Park has roasted influential figures.
In February, the show took aim at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle by having their animated doppelgangers shoot off fireworks while parading around banners that read, “Don’t look at us,” or “We want our privacy.”
The Duchess of Sussex was reportedly “upset and overwhelmed” by the episode.
