Infamous influencer “Liver King” appeared unkempt and haggard in a newly released mugshot following his bizarre arrest for allegedly making a terroristic threat against podcaster Joe Rogan.
YouTuber Brian Johnson, 47, was busted in Austin, Texas on Tuesday when he suddenly appeared on Rogan’s property talking about “picking a fight” while packing what appears to be two golden firearms, according to footage he posted to social media.
Johnson’s disheveled appearance in his booking photo is a stark contrast to the polished image he curated for himself on YouTube as the buff “CEO of ancestral life.”
He stares dead into the camera with very little emotion behind his eyes, which are dragged down by hefty bags.
Johnson gained fame on social media by attributing his ripped physique to a wild diet of animal testicles, liver and fertilized chicken eggs.
But in 2022 he admitted he blew through $11,000 a month for steroids to maintain his brawny body.
The YouTuber hasn’t appeared in a video on his channel in eight months but during that time, he’s begun to post daily on his Instagram, often consisting of a confounding tirades that’s sparked concern among his fans.
“The Joe Rogan Experience” doesn’t feature an episode with Johnson as a guest, but he has come up multiple times before on the show when the discussion centers around bodybuilding and performance-enhancing drugs.
On Wednesday, Johnson shared a nonsensical video promoting Blue Scorpion Venom, a pain and inflammation reliever that is often marketed to cancer patients but “has not been scientifically proven to treat cancer in humans,” according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
In the video, Johnson addresses his arrest while only referring to Rogan as “some guy,” but directly refers to the podcaster’s comedy club ‘Mothership’ by name.
“Some guy, he thought if you just put him in jail, put him in jail, have the violent crimes division, have them come arrest him for a terroristic threat and the whole time that terroristic threat you thought was a bomb or something, inside that box was actually a present back for you and your Mothership colleagues for having my wife and me in Mothership that I’ve held on to for awhile just looking for the right time to give it to you,” Johnson rambled.
Johnson has continued to allude to the fight he hopes to have with Rogan in a slew of posts on his social media.
“This is truly so disappointing. This is not the way. Too much testosterone and pride here. You’re an influencer and people will say things. Just move on,” one fan wrote in response to Johnson’s recent and erratic posts.
“Bro clean yourself up and leave your kids with a great family name. You are destroying what you have grown acting weird af,” another user commented.
Still, Johnson appears to be dead set on having his cage match with black belt Rogan.
“No laws will be broken, I assure you of that. No details will be discussed either,” Johnson said.
Rogan has not commented on Johnson’s arrest or incessant invites to fight.
Johnson faces a class B misdemeanor charge for allegedly making a terroristic threat and was held at Travis County Jail in Austin on a bond of $20,000 before his release.
