Brian ‘Liver King’ Johnson was arrested in Austin, Texas, charged with a Class B misdemeanor for making a terroristic threat.

Overview

  • Brian Johnson, known online as the Liver King, was taken into custody at the Four Seasons Hotel in Austin on June 24 after posting videos challenging Joe Rogan to a fight.
  • In Instagram clips he declared “man to man” combat despite having no jiu-jitsu training and invited Rogan to set the rules and location.
  • Austin detectives contacted Rogan, who said he had never met Johnson and considered the posts to be threatening.
  • Johnson faces one count of terroristic threat, a Class B misdemeanor under Texas law, and is held at Travis County Jail.
  • He built his following by promoting a raw-meat “ancestral lifestyle” before admitting steroid use in 2022, a saga featured in a May Netflix documentary.
