The Liver King allegedly threatened Joe Rogan, now he’s in jail


The organ-eating bodybuilder, the Liver King, has been arrested for supposedly threatening world-famous podcaster Joe Rogan.

Brian Johnson, aka the Liver King, was arrested in Rogan’s hometown of Austin, Texas, after threatening the podcaster via social media.

Leading up to his arrest, Johnson was posting bizarre and confrontational messages about Rogan on the popular social media platform Instagram.

The Liver King, the man known for eating raw, organic, animal livers and other organs, has been charged with making “terroristic threats” against Rogan, which, according to Gizmodo, is a misdemeanor crime.

According to a statement shared with Gizmodo from the Austin police, Johnson’s Instagram posts were analyzed, and detectives contacted Rogan, who claims he’s never met Johnson.

Rogan apparently found Johnson’s posts threatening, and “based on this information, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Johnson on a charge of terroristic threat,” the statement reads.

The videos found by Gizmodo show Johnson’s erratic behaviour and his alleged threats towards Rogan.

One of the videos shows a topless Johnson wearing a wolf-skin hat and holding what looks like two golden machine guns.

Johnson says, “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out. My name’s Liver King. Man to man. I’m picking a fight with you.”

The next video is truly bizarre as it shows Johnson in a shower conducting some kind of coffee enema.

In the video, Johnson said that he hasn’t threatened to kill anyone and that he just decided to pick a fight with Rogan.

It’s safe to say that his bizarre ramblings are certainly alarming, but it’s uncertain as to where this feud has come from.

Only once has Rogan spoken about Johnson on his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

However, Rogan did call Johnson out for being “full of shit” and mocked the organ influencers health plans.

Rogan also speculated whether Johnson’s muscle was natural, implying that the bodybuilder was using steroids to artificially build muscle mass.
