AUSTIN, Texas– Social media personality Brian Johnson, known as “Liver King,” was arrested Tuesday in Austin, Texas, after allegedly posting threatening videos targeting podcaster Joe Rogan.
Johnson was charged with making a terroristic threat, a class B misdemeanor under Texas law. The arrest followed a series of online videos in which Johnson allegedly challenged Rogan to a physical confrontation and made statements suggesting he was willing to risk harm.
Rogan reported the videos as threatening, noting he had no previous interaction with Johnson.
Johnson is a well-known social media figure who promotes what he calls an “ancestral lifestyle.” He has amassed a large following by sharing fitness content and advocating for natural living practices.
The investigation remains ongoing, and no additional charges have been announced at this time.
