The man who once shouted about eating raw liver to millions online is now behind bars. Brian Johnson, better known by his online alias “Liver King,” was arrested earlier this week in Austin, Texas, for allegedly threatening popular podcast host Joe Rogan.
Let that sink in—just two years ago, this guy was at the top of the influencer food chain (literally). Now? He’s facing criminal charges and a massive fall from grace.
😳 What Went Down?
It started with a few unhinged videos on social media—nothing new for Johnson, but this time, he seemed angrier, more intense. In one clip, he appeared shirtless (as usual), wearing a pelt and holding what looked like gold-plated firearms. In the video, he directly challenged Rogan, saying he was “ready to die” and begging for a fight.
Police didn’t take it lightly.
Investigators obtained a misdemeanor warrant, tracked him down to an upscale Austin hotel, and arrested him without any struggle. His bail was set at $20,000.
🥩 Who Is the Liver King Again?
If you somehow missed the whole Liver King era—he’s the guy who blew up on TikTok and Instagram for living what he called an “ancestral” lifestyle.
That meant:
-
Eating raw liver, bone marrow, bull testicles (yep),
-
Lifting huge weights shirtless in the woods,
-
Sleeping on the floor,
-
And telling men to “man up” by ditching processed food and embracing nature.
He racked up millions of followers, launched a supplement line, and reportedly pulled in over $100 million in sales. People loved him. Or, at least, they loved the character.
💉 The Truth Caught Up
In late 2022, everything shifted. Emails leaked showing Johnson was taking over $10,000 a month worth of steroids and human growth hormone—despite years of claiming his ripped body came from raw liver and discipline alone.
He apologized publicly. Cried in a video. Said he did it to boost his brand and was sorry for misleading fans.
But trust is hard to rebuild. The internet turned on him, fast. Lawsuits followed. And just like that, the Liver King empire started to rot from the inside.
📉 Life After the Lie
He disappeared for a while. Word spread that he was struggling—physically and mentally. Some said he lost weight rapidly. Others claimed he was facing medical issues related to his extreme diet.
Whatever was going on, it was clear the Liver King was no longer at the top of his game.
That brings us to this week—when the same man who once shouted about primal strength from a rooftop is now behind a cell door, charged with making threats that seemed a little too real.
🧠Joe Rogan’s Reaction
While Rogan didn’t respond publicly, sources say he did notify the authorities. He reportedly said Johnson’s behavior felt unstable and genuinely concerning.
Rogan, who’s no stranger to controversy himself, apparently wanted to make sure the situation didn’t escalate further.
And honestly, good on him. When someone shows signs they might hurt someone—or themselves—it’s better to act early.
🧾 Where Things Stand Now
Johnson’s facing a misdemeanor charge that could land him in jail for up to 6 months. The court has already issued:
-
A mental health evaluation order
-
A ban on owning firearms
-
A no-contact order with Rogan
Whether this ends in jail time, treatment, or both is still unclear.
🎠Bigger Picture: What This All Means
This isn’t just about one guy with a weird diet. It’s about influencer culture—how fast it can build you up, how fast it can chew you up, and how hard it is to stay sane while performing for millions.
Johnson created a larger-than-life persona. And when the mask cracked, there was no soft place to land.
He lied. He owned up to it. But now it seems like he might be spiraling—and that’s something more influencers and followers alike need to pay attention to.
Final Word
The Liver King used to yell about living like a caveman. But behind all that muscle and meat was a man under pressure, playing a character too big to maintain.
Now, stripped of the act and facing real consequences, he’s left to face himself. No filter. No fans. Just a courtroom and a choice.
Maybe the most primal thing left to do... is heal.
