Influencer Brian “Liver King” Johnson has been released on a $20,000 bond after his arrest for allegedly making terroristic threats against Joe Rogan. Johnson, known for his bizarre videos and unconventional lifestyle, was quick to return to posting content about Rogan, despite being banned from going near him.
In a series of videos posted after his release, Johnson appeared disheveled and at times slurred his words. He showed off his ankle monitor and acknowledged the restraining order that required him to stay 600 feet away from Rogan and his family. In one video, he asked for information on Rogan’s whereabouts to ensure he complied with the court’s orders.
Despite the restraining order, Johnson joked about wanting to fight actor Seth Rogan instead of Joe Rogan, citing legal reasons for not mentioning the podcaster’s full name. He made light of the situation, saying that a fight between them would be “unwinnable for both of us.”
Johnson was charged with making terroristic threats after traveling to Rogan’s home and challenging him to a fight in a strange Instagram video. Rogan, who had never met Johnson, expressed concern to police about the influencer’s mental state and alleged drug issues.
In addition to the restraining order, Johnson was required to undergo a mental health evaluation within a week of his release. In his post-arrest videos, he mentioned feeling good despite not sleeping or eating for a while and promised to continue making videos intermittently.
Johnson, known for his caveman lifestyle and controversial diet, has never appeared on Rogan’s podcast but has been discussed on the show in relation to performance-enhancing drugs. He famously denied using steroids to achieve his muscular physique, attributing it to his unconventional diet of raw meat, animal testicles, and fertilized chicken eggs. However, leaked emails in 2022 revealed that he had been spending thousands of dollars a month on muscle-building drugs, leading him to confess to using steroids.
Despite his legal troubles and public scrutiny, Johnson continues to maintain a strong online presence, posting content that blends humor with controversy. His unpredictable behavior and ongoing feud with Joe Rogan have garnered attention from fans and critics alike.
