Wellness Influencer ‘Liver King’ Arrested After Posting A Series Of Videos Aimed At Joe Rogan
HuffPost
Brian Johnson, who's known for advising followers to eat raw testicles and liver, made a series of social media posts that alarmed the podcaster, police said.
Wellness influencer Brian Johnson, 47, known to his millions of followers as the “Liver King,” was arrested Tuesday and accused of making threats against popular podcaster and former MMA fighter Joe Rogan in a series of videos posted on his Instagram page.
“Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you,” Johnson said, holding two rifles in a video posted Monday. “I have no training in jiujitsu; you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you whenever you’re ready.”
Much of Johnson’s Liver King content revolves around advising fitness enthusiasts to build a body like his through questionable practices like eating raw animal testicles or, as the name alludes to, raw liver. In 2022, leaked emails revealed that he had been spending approximately $11,000 a month injecting himself with steroids and human growth hormone.
Johnson was highlighted in the Netflix documentary series “Untold: The Liver King,” which came out this year.
