Miami has turn into the manosphere’s Mecca, with the most important names pushing poisonous masculinity — together with Andrew Tate, Clavicular, Myron Gaines, and Justin Waller — all congregating there.
Nonetheless, within the first signal their dream could also be souring, it’s additionally the place Tate and his brother, Tristan, had been arrested final month for potential extradition to face rape fees within the UK.
South Florida sources say town’s a giant draw for misogynist mega-voices because of its tolerance.
“Miami is the sort of place the place you don’t get a second probability — you get ten probabilities,” Greg Mirmellil, a realtor who just lately helped Clavicular hire an condominium there, advised The Put up. “It’s very non-judgmental.”
It’s additionally a significant hub for pornographic manufacturing and OnlyFans fashions, that means there’s a regular stream of younger girls within the space, who manosphere influencers like to function of their podcasts and streams — but additionally denigrate and harass, for content material and clicks.
“There’s lots of stunning girls, particularly intercourse employees, ladies that do OnlyFans, or they’re within the sugar child life-style, right here in Miami,” resident and grownup content material creator Willow Ryder advised The Put up.
Miami has lengthy been a house to aspiring bikini fashions and influencers, however its grownup manufacturing trade received a lift in 2020, as Florida had much less strict COVID restrictions than different states.
It’s turn into so widespread, native leases now often embrace clauses expressly banning the manufacturing of specific materials in luxurious properties.
One influencer infamous for that includes grownup entertainers in his streams is Clavicular, who made a reputation for himself as a “looksmaxxer” by preaching that look is every part and going to any size to enhance his personal appears to be like — together with allegedly taking meth to drop some pounds.
Clavicular, actual title Braden Peters, has turned a Miami penthouse into his streaming quarters, the place he movies himself for hours a day earlier than hitting the streets and golf equipment with a digital camera in tow. In accordance with The Actual Deal, he rented a five-bedroom, 6,500 sq. foot penthouse in Paramount Miami Worldcenter earlier this yr.
“It was spectacular, one of the best penthouse within the constructing, and I suppose he’s a younger, rich child that desires one of the best,” Mirmelli, who represented each side of the transaction, stated.
He declined to share the hire however referred The Put up to reporting estimating Clavicular is paying between $35,000 and $45,000 a month.
In Might, Clavicular, who’s 20, confirmed up to a celebration hosted by grownup movie stars, then proceeded to berate feminine attendees about their sexual histories whereas filming for his thousands and thousands of followers, who’re principally teenage boys.
One attendee was Ryder, 27, who hadn’t heard of the teenager Looksmaxxer till the occasion, however noticed firsthand the parasitic relationship the manosphere has to the porn trade.
“He was positively there simply getting ‘rage bait’ content material, whether or not it’s him making actually disrespectful remarks or making an attempt to demean and humiliate us,” she stated, noting his presence made one pal cry.
Clavicular, who’s initially from Hoboken, New Jersey, has used the Miami clubbing and music scene as a private promotion platform (regardless of being 20, technically too younger for lots of the metropolis’s nightlife institutions) and even reportedly acquired part-ownership of a membership, Bacara in Miami Seaside, which opened in April — a testomony to town’s willingness to tolerate toxicity.
“In Miami, we are able to all chortle and say ‘Okay, you might have your perspective. I’ve my perspective,’ and we respect it. Nobody blows it out of proportion the way in which they do somewhere else,” Mirmelli stated.
“I believe a part of the enchantment is which you can be an eccentric, sort of loopy particular person, and, so long as you’re driving your Ferrari and you’ll afford a waterfront home, no one’s judging you.”
Displaying up and flashing the money was precisely what the Tate brothers did in early 2025, after fleeing intercourse trafficking fees in Europe.
The pair used Miami because the launching pad for a social media revamp, foregrounding town of their content material. Andrew often posted movies of himself roaming the streets and ranting about wealth and standing on the waterfront. Current uploads on Rumble — as they’re banned from mainstream platforms — embrace thumbnails like “ANDREW TATE ON MIAMI WATER” and “MIAMI UNO.”
Andrew — who grew up with brother Tristan in England, the place he has boasted about beginning a pimping empire — claimed in March 2025 to have bought a Miami penthouse, though The Put up was unable to substantiate any recorded sale to him.
“After shopping for a brand new $5 million Bugatti that morning, Andrew Tate spends one other $44 million on a luxurious penthouse in Miami,” a fan account gushed on X over one video.
Nonetheless, the Anglo-American brothers had ignored Florida gov. Ron DeSantis’ warning they weren’t welcome within the state, and their lifetime of obvious luxurious was delivered to an abrupt halt on July 18. They had been arrested in downtown Miami on a sealed warrant exterior a venue the place Andrew was slated to co-host a bare-knuckle boxing occasion and stay in federal custody.
In the meantime, Male life-style influencers who aren’t absolutely fledged pimps and solely trash girls for content material functions are nonetheless working freely.
Connecticut-born Myron Gaines — creator of the e book “Why Ladies Deserve Much less” — hosts his “Contemporary and Match” podcast from his luxurious penthouse.
The present, which streams dwell at 11pm three nights per week, usually options Gaines and one other male co-host alongside a half-dozen girls, who’re humiliated, questioned about their intimate lives, and peppered with misogyny.
Current episodes embrace “Why Being Associates With Ladies Is A Waste Of Time” and “She Thinks She’ll Settle Down & Discover The Proper Man At 38?! HEATED DEBATE!”
“I’d by no means do it,” Ryder stated, although she has acquaintances within the trade who’ve appeared on the podcast. “The ladies suppose they will go on there and debate with him and show some extent, though, on the finish of the day, you’ll be able to’t win as a result of his fan base goes to actually tear you aside, it doesn’t matter what you say.”
At face worth, it makes little sense for anybody to just accept such public humiliation on digital camera, however “Contemporary and Match” retains discovering company due to a perverse alternate rooted in consideration financial system dynamics.
Feminine company — a lot of whom are aspiring fashions, influencers, and OnlyFans creators — settle for mistreatment and insults in return for the free publicity they get, hoping Gaines’ 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, principally the younger males they’re aiming to succeed in, will then quietly observe them or subscribe to their OnlyFans accounts afterward.
Ryder stated that dynamic is widespread within the trade: “I see males make hate feedback [on my posts], however they observe me, or they’re on my OnlyFans.”
Even influencers who haven’t made Miami their full-time residence make the pilgrimage to collaborate with each other and use town as a backdrop, placing its quick automobiles, jet skis, Cuban cigars, and scantily clad girls— the kind of issues which seem notably rich and aspirational in US cities away from the coast — entrance and middle.
In January, Miami was the setting of an enormous meetup that included Andrew and Tristan Tate, Nick Fuentes, Clavicular, Sneako, Myron Gaines, and Justin Waller. They posted group photographs and live-streamed themselves having an evening out in town.
On the Miami Seaside membership Vendôme, the group drank and chatted up girls — then shocked fellow membership goers by throwing up Nazi salutes whereas dancing to Kanye West’s tune “Heil Hitler,” an incident which has since turn into emblematic of the whole scene. They declare to be pushing the boundaries of style and saying such issues sarcastically, however the public by no means really actually know what aspect of the road they stand.
The entire thing was additionally introduced as spontaneous however was, in actuality, an enormous deliberate publicity stunt meant to garner consideration: influencers touring world wide to collect, cameras all the time rolling and rented sprinter vans standing able to chauffeur them round city.
Miami was the pure setting for such a night as a result of it’s a turnkey goldmine for content material: penthouses, yachts, girls, intercourse, automobiles.
Embodying the angle he professes town has, Mirmelli added, “If you happen to’re ready the place you’ll be able to have a Rolls-Royce, a Lamborghini, a Ferrari, and a bunch of different toys, boats, yachts, personal jets, no matter, Miami’s most likely the place the place you’ll find yourself having probably the most enjoyable.”
