Controversial influencer and Netflix star Brian Johnson, aka The Liver King, has been arrested in Austin after posting a bizarre video challenging Joe Rogan to a fight. Johnson, who shot to fame due to his hulking physique and “ancestral” diet of raw organs, posted a video on Instagram on June 23 in which he said: “Joe Rogan, I’m calling you out, my name’s Liver King. Man to man, I’m picking a fight with you. I have no training in Jiu-jitsu, you’re a black belt, you should dismantle me. But I’m picking a fight with you. Your rules, I’ll come to you, whenever you’re ready.” An additional video posted on Tuesday shows a figure matching Johnson’s build handcuffed and being led into a police vehicle. A third video on his account showed his wife, Barbara speaking to someone off-screen and saying “Take this with a grain of salt, but they assured me he’s going to be in and out… We’re talking 24 hours.” The Austin Police Department later confirmed that the Johnson held in custody was indeed the Liver King, who has since been charged with one count of Terroristic Threat, a Class B Misdemeanor.
