Brian \u201cLiver King\u201d Johnson, the primal-living influencer once known for his shredded physique and outrageous raw organ diet, has reignited controversy\u2014this time from behind bars. Recently arrested in Texas for allegedly making terroristic threats against podcaster Joe Rogan, Johnson is now challenging Rogan to a $10 million fight<\/strong>, claiming it will \u201csettle everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE LIE UNRAVELS: FROM \u201cNATTY\u201d TO NEEDLES<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brian Johnson<\/strong> rose to fame preaching the \u201cancestral lifestyle\u201d\u2014a regimen based on eating raw animal organs, sleeping on the ground, sun exposure, and heavy lifting. His shredded, larger-than-life physique was marketed as a product of nature, not science. Johnson vehemently denied ever taking performance-enhancing drugs, repeatedly stating he was natty<\/em>(natural).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That lie collapsed in December 2022, when a set of leaked emails\u2014published by Derek of the popular fitness YouTube channel More Plates More Dates<\/strong>\u2014revealed that Johnson was spending over $11,000 a month<\/strong> on a cocktail of steroids, growth hormone (Omnitrope), testosterone, insulin, and other synthetic compounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He later confirmed the revelations in a public video titled \u201cLiver King Confession\u2026 I Lied,\u201d<\/em> admitting that he had been on steroids for years and was working with medical professionals to manage his hormone regimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI lied. I misled a lot of people\u2026 Yes, I\u2019ve done steroids. And, yes, I am on steroids,\u201d.<\/p>Brian Johnson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

His carefully crafted primal brand crumbled overnight, with fans, critics, and media outlets blasting him for deception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOCUMENTARIES, LAWSUITS & REDEMPTION ATTEMPTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, Netflix released a bombshell documentary titled \u201cUntold: The Liver King,\u201d<\/em> which chronicled Johnson\u2019s meteoric rise, steroid scandal, and attempts at damage control. The documentary revealed that Johnson\u2019s supplement empire was raking in over $100 million annually<\/strong>, fueled by the very lies he had now confessed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he briefly claimed to go steroid-free for 55 days in early 2023, Johnson later resumed performance-enhancing drug use, arguing that his age and training required medical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also faced a $25 million class-action lawsuit<\/strong>, accusing him of misleading consumers into purchasing supplements under false pretenses. The lawsuit was ultimately dropped, but his reputation never fully recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ROGAN FEUD EXPLODES INTO CHAOS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite\u2014or perhaps because of\u2014the ongoing scrutiny, Johnson has leaned into his most aggressive persona yet. On June 24, 2025, Johnson was arrested in Austin, Texas<\/strong>, after making a series of bizarre and aggressive social media posts in which he repeatedly challenged Joe Rogan<\/strong>\u2014UFC commentator and host of The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em>\u2014to a physical fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to police reports obtained from the Travis County Sheriff\u2019s Office<\/strong>, Johnson was charged with making a terroristic threat<\/strong>, booked at the county\u2019s correctional facility, and held on $20,000 bond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the arrest footage\u2014since deleted but archived by various news outlets\u2014Johnson is seen handcuffed behind his back, being escorted into a police SUV, while his wife, Bozena \u201cBarbara\u201d Johnson, anxiously converses with law enforcement off-camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 MILLION DOLLARS AND IT CAN ALL GO AWAY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After his release, Johnson returned online with renewed fury. In a video posted to his account on July 2nd, he doubled down on his challenge to Rogan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201cTen million dollars and it can all go away,\u201d Johnson says, referring to a proposed pay-per-view bout between the two.
\u201cI won\u2019t say another word if anyone from your team contacts anyone from my team.\u201d.<\/p>Brian Johnson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Though he never names Rogan directly, Johnson calls his unnamed target a \u201cbully\u201d and claims he wants a fair, honorable fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u201cJoe Rogan, I\u2019m calling you out,\u201d he says in another video. \u201cMan to man, I\u2019m picking a fight with you. Your rules. I\u2019ll come to you. I\u2019m willing to die. I\u2019m hoping that you\u2019ll choke me out\u2014because that\u2019s a dream come true\u201d.<\/p>Brian Johnson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Police documents indicate that Rogan has never interacted<\/strong> with Johnson, and when contacted by detectives, described Johnson\u2019s behavior as threatening and unstable<\/strong>. According to KXAN and The Daily Mail, Johnson has now been ordered to wear a GPS ankle monitor<\/strong>, surrender any firearms<\/strong>, and undergo a full mental health evaluation<\/strong>. He must avoid all contact\u2014direct or indirect\u2014with Rogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNSTABLE, OR CALCULATED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It remains unclear whether Johnson\u2019s recent behavior is part of a calculated effort to stay in the spotlight\u2014or a genuine mental health spiral. His rants, often filmed shirtless and red-faced, range from incoherent challenges to emotional pleas for redemption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one now-deleted video, he can be seen attempting to hide a utility knife in his pocket while talking about the police coming for him. Someone off-camera urges him not to bring it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy not\u2014just for fun\u2014fight me?\u201d he says in the video. \u201cA physical fight. A real fight. Real tension.\u201d<\/p>Brian Johnson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

WHAT\u2019S NEXT FOR THE LIVER KING?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Johnson\u2019s fall from grace has transformed him from a fitness icon into a walking cautionary tale. His blend of masculinity, primal extremism, deception, and aggressive self-promotion has created a character that now seems to be unraveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether or not Joe Rogan responds\u2014or whether Johnson ends up in the ring or back in court\u2014remains to be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for now, the Liver King is no longer selling dreams of raw liver and ancestral power. He\u2019s selling spectacle. And the world is watching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
