Liver King Released From Texas Jail After Terroristic Threats Against Joe Rogan

Brian Johnson, known as 'Liver King,' was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats against podcaster Joe Rogan, leading to his booking in Travis County Jail in Austin, Texas. After posting a $20,000 bond, Johnson was released under conditions including a restraining order preventing him from coming within 200 yards of Rogan, a curfew, and mandatory mental health evaluations. Despite these restrictions, Johnson has continued to post bizarre and threatening videos on social media, at times referencing Rogan indirectly and even mentioning actor Seth Rogen. The tension appears rooted in a 2022 scandal where Johnson's claims of a natural physique were debunked following steroid use revelations, with Rogan having publicly criticized Johnson on his podcast despite no personal interaction between them. Rogan has not publicly commented on the recent threats but informed police of Johnson's targeting and noted Johnson's apparent instability and drug issues. Johnson's erratic behavior and continued provocations have sparked concern among his followers, many urging him to seek help.
