Netflix Star Liver King Arrested in Austin for Threats Against Joe Rogan

Brian Johnson, known as the "Liver King" and famous for promoting an ancestral diet of raw meat, was arrested in Austin, Texas, on a charge of making terroristic threats against podcaster Joe Rogan. Johnson traveled to Austin, Rogan's hometown, and publicly challenged him to a fight despite admitting he lacked martial arts training, leading to police action and his booking into Travis County Jail. The arrest followed a series of threatening social media posts and videos where Johnson appeared agitated, and police obtained a warrant based on these threats. Rogan, who has never hosted Johnson on his podcast but criticized him for steroid use, was contacted by police and considered the posts threatening. Johnson’s legal troubles come after a steroid scandal exposed his claims of a natural physique through raw meat consumption as false. Police confirmed the investigation remains active and Johnson was taken into custody without incident.
