ANDREW Tate kept six women inside his home 24/7 “like prisoners” and forced them to make porn videos, it has been alleged.
The disgraced influencer and his brother were detained on Thursday after their luxury Romanian mansion was raided by police.

The pair have reportedly been under investigation for the alleged kidnapping of two young women at their villa in the town of Voluntari.
Cops said so far six alleged victims have come forward claiming they were sexually exploited by the organised criminal group.
Now sources close to the case have claimed Tate forced them to take part in online pornographic videos.
They told : “The abuse was physical and emotional.

“They were not allowed to leave the house without security and they were watched day and night.
“They were essentially kept under house arrest 24/7 like prisoners. They were deprived of their freedom and followed everywhere.”
It comes after a statement from Romania's Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) said the British suspects lured victims using the "loverboy method" - claiming they loved them and intended to marry them.
The agency said female victims were then taken to buildings in Ilfov County, on Bucharest's outskirts, where they were "sexually exploited by group members".

Cops say the suspects used "physical violence and mental coercion" and that victims were forced to perform in pornographic videos for dissemination on social media.
It is the second time his home was raided as part of the investigation, after cops arrived at his door back in April.
It has since been suggested the latest sting may not have happened if Tate had not posted a video on Twitter mocking eco-warrior Greta.
The clip featured a stack of boxes from Romanian pizza chain Jerry's Pizza - seemingly revealing his location.
Romanian police later said the pizza box was "not related" to his arrest.
"It's not related," a police spokeswoman told AFP.
"To determine whether a person is in the country or not, we use a whole range of means."
She stressed "arrest warrants and searches" had already been in place.
Sources close to the investigation told local news outlet that anti-mafia prosecutors realised Tate and his brother were in the country because of their social media.

Tate also posted scenic footage on Twitter on Christmas Day with the caption "Romania".
Both Tate brothers deny the allegations against them and are next week expected to appeal against the decision to hold them in custody.
