Fitness Influencer Liver King Arrested Amid Feud with Joe Rogan

In a startling turn of events, fitness influencer Brian Johnson, widely known as the Liver King, found himself in handcuffs after a volatile standoff with famed podcaster Joe Rogan. Johnson was apprehended on Tuesday evening at a luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in Austin, Texas, following a series of aggressive Instagram posts.

A Call to Fight: The Video That Set It All Off

The drama ignited when Johnson, in a bold video, directly challenged Rogan, famously known for his jiu-jitsu prowess. "Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out! Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you!" he declared, openly admitting his lack of jiu-jitsu training. His words escalated quickly: "You can’t pick a fight with a real king and then expect there not to be an actual fight." His bizarre demeanor included a dance atop a vibration plate, adding a surreal twist to his menacing challenge.

Police Get Involved: Threats Taken Seriously

As the tension mounted, the Austin Police Department investigated, discovering that Johnson was allegedly traveling to Austin while continuing to post threatening comments. Detective reports indicated that Rogan stated he had no prior interactions with Johnson and found the posts genuinely alarming. Consequently, police filed an arrest warrant, charging Johnson with making terroristic threats.

Even after his arrest, Johnson continued his tirade, promising fans he would not back down. In a post-arrest video, he ominously teased Rogan, saying, "Guess what, you’re dead..." He also referenced a mysterious box he brought to the hotel, provoking further intrigue about its contents.

A Mental Health Evaluation and Ongoing Controversy

Following the incident, the court mandated Johnson undergo a psychiatric evaluation, reinforcing concerns over his erratic behavior. Meanwhile, the feud has garnered significant public interest, particularly given Rogan’s controversial comments about Johnson’s steroid use on his podcast, where he dismissed the Liver King’s raw meat diet as a gimmick.

As both figures continue to clash amidst their escalating rivalry, the world watches closely to see if this feud leads to an actual confrontation—or if Johnson’s troubled actions will finally catch up with him. With no contact orders in place, it remains to be seen how this saga will unfold and what the consequences will be for both influencers.
