During her interview with Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, the conversation shifted towards the topic of role models for young men. Sarah expressed her belief that many male figures, particularly those aligned with conservative ideals, had been "canceled." "There’s no point in cancelling a whole group of people to give opportunities to other people," she stated. "It’s the ones who don’t have anyone speaking to them that we need to worry about." She also spoke about how the political landscape today seemed to be polarized, with a toxic left and right, leaving a void in the middle ground where rational discourse could happen.
The hosts probed her opinion on Andrew Tate, whose statements have been widely condemned for promoting sexism and toxic masculinity. Despite this, Sarah, a mother of four boys, defended some of Tate's viewpoints, saying, "I think it is really difficult to know who you are copying or looking up to because, you are right, Andrew Tate… actually a lot of what he says is relatively sensible, you know." This opinion raised eyebrows, with Adil Ray visibly shocked by her response.
Sarah went on to explain that her perspective had shifted after listening to her son, who had encouraged her to listen to Tate's views. "I was quite anti it and said, 'Oh, it’s absolutely ridiculous,’ but one of my sons told me to listen to him, and I thought a lot of it is true. Like go for a run and you’ll feel better," she remarked. This admission that a significant portion of Tate’s messages could be seen as "really brilliant" was quickly criticized by viewers, especially given the context of Tate’s current legal troubles, including charges of human trafficking.
Social media erupted with mixed reactions. Many viewers were perplexed by Sarah's praise for Tate, pointing out that she seemed to be endorsing harmful ideologies, despite her acknowledgment of Tate’s toxic behavior. One viewer tweeted, "Let me get my breath! Sarah Beeny describes what she thinks as the 'toxic left' as LIBERALISM!?!? And then goes on to praise Andrew Tate?!?" Another added, "Adil Ray’s facial expression was so loud when Sarah Beeny said some of what Andrew Tate says is sensible." It was clear that her comments did not sit well with many viewers, who felt that her stance on Tate undermined her credibility as a TV personality.
Sarah continued to express empathy for the reasons why young men, particularly those who feel abandoned by traditional role models, might be drawn to figures like Andrew Tate. In an interview with The Times , she pondered, "What do we want these teenage boys to feel? Who’s their role model? Donald Trump?" She suggested that Tate’s rise to fame could be attributed to a lack of acceptable alternatives for straight white boys, adding that if these individuals feel marginalized or neglected, they might turn to figures like Tate for validation.
Despite her controversial remarks, Sarah admitted that while Tate's advice on topics like self-improvement and physical fitness might offer some valuable insights, his more extreme views about women and relationships are problematic. "Eighty percent of what he says is really brilliant," Sarah admitted, referring to Tate's advice about discipline and self-care, but she also acknowledged that his more toxic statements couldn't be ignored.
As for Andrew Tate, he remains a divisive figure. Currently facing charges of human trafficking and rape, his reputation has been further marred by allegations of tax evasion. Despite this, his followers continue to defend his views, claiming that he speaks out against societal norms. Whether Sarah’s comments were meant to highlight some valuable aspects of Tate’s message or were an unfortunate endorsement of his more harmful ideas, it’s clear that her statements have sparked a significant conversation about role models, cancel culture, and the complexities of modern-day influencers.
