Overview

• Brian Johnson was taken into custody by the Austin Police Department on June 24 and booked at 7:31 p.m. on a terroristic threat charge.
• Authorities say his arrest followed a days-long rant in which he publicly challenged UFC commentator Joe Rogan to a man-to-man fight.
• In videos posted to social media, Johnson brandished what appeared to be gold-plated guns while accusing Rogan of undermining his supplement empire.
• Johnson’s influencer career unraveled in 2022 when leaked emails exposed his $11,000-a-month steroid regimen that contradicted his raw-meat diet claims.
• A Netflix documentary released in April, Untold: The Liver King, examined his rise on social platforms and the controversies that followed.
