Brian Johnson, known as Liver King on social media, was charged with making a terroristic threat and was detained at the Travis County Jail in Austin on Tuesday (24).
Liver King, known for his “caveman” lifestyle, was arrested while heading to Joe Rogan’s home state to challenge him to a fight.
The influencer posted a series of videos on his social media making threats against several people, including Joe Rogan. Liver King also said he had weapons and wanted to fight the host.
“Joe Rogan, I’m challenging you, my name is Liver King. Man to man, I’m setting up a fight with you,” said Johnson, wearing a wolf skin.
“I have no jiu-jitsu training, you are a black belt, you should destroy me. But I’m choosing to fight you. Your rules, I’ll come to you whenever you want,” he continued, speaking to the camera.
A video recorded by the influencer’s wife shows Johnson, dressed in a red hoodie, sweatpants, and an old tactical vest, being handcuffed and placed in the back seat of a police car.
The influencer also asked his cameraman to record a video while he was at a hotel in Austin making threats. He was with his wife and their two children.
Joe Rogan has never had Liver King on his podcast but has publicly discussed Johnson’s use of steroids, despite Johnson claiming to follow a strictly natural diet.
