Overview

  • Brian Johnson, known as the Liver King, built a social media empire promoting a raw-food ancestral lifestyle before steroid use revelations in 2022 damaged his credibility.
  • The Netflix documentary addresses his steroid scandal but omits his controversial £60,000 ab-implant joke, which he later clarified as a prank.
  • Johnson claims to have discontinued steroid use and adjusted his extreme diet to include fruits and vegetables, acknowledging past mistakes.
  • Despite the fallout, his supplement company, Ancestral Supplements, remains operational and reportedly generated over $100 million annually at its peak.
  • Logan Paul’s confrontation with Johnson over his dishonesty and Johnson’s attempts to regain trust highlight ongoing challenges in rebuilding his reputation.
