He dared Joe Rogan to fight him. Shirtless. Sweaty. Raging. But the challenge ended with cuffs, not punches. On June 24, fitness influencer “Liver King”. Real name Brian Johnson, was arrested in Austin, Texas.
The charge? A potential act of terror. Jail records show he was booked by Austin police that evening. At first, fans thought it was a prank. But records confirmed. Johnson is behind bars.

No one knew if it was real. Now, there are serious consequences. While officials haven’t confirmed if Rogan was the target of Johnson’s alleged threat, the timing has raised eyebrows across the internet.

Johnson was praised for his “ancestral” lifestyle and raw meat feasts. He had built a cult-like following of nearly 3 million. Netflix even profiled him. But the same larger-than-life image may have fueled his downfall. His top video now? A man in a police uniform. And silence from his usually loud page.
The full details remain murky. The arrest report doesn’t reveal exactly what was said. Or to whom. But one thing is clear. This wasn’t just another stunt. From supplements to subpoenas, the Liver King’s descent from influencer to inmate is a story as raw as the liver he once ate.
