Overview

  • Brian Johnson was arrested at Austin’s Four Seasons Hotel and charged with a Class B misdemeanor for making terroristic threats against podcaster Joe Rogan.
  • He was released on a $20,000 bond and ordered to stay at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family under a restraining order.
  • The court required Johnson to undergo a mental health evaluation within one week of his release and imposed a nightly curfew.
  • Despite the order, Johnson resumed posting Instagram videos challenging Rogan to a man-to-man fight and taunting his followers.
  • Johnson built his following on a raw-meat “ancestral lifestyle” but admitted to steroid use after leaked emails contradicted his claims of all-natural gains.
