Influencer back on offensive social media
Fitness influencer Brian “Liver King” Johnson — known for his extreme raw-meat diet and massive online presence — is once again publicly calling out Joe Rogan for a fight, even after a misdemeanor terroristic-threat charge against him was dismissed. In late November, the court cleared Johnson after he completed mandated counseling, posting bail and wearing an ankle monitor during his initial release.
New videos echo old threats
Between November 25 and November 26, Johnson shared three new videos on Instagram in which he featured edited photos of Rogan and actor Seth Rogen, framing them as participants in a mock conversation. In the clips, Johnson claimed his words weren’t threats, but a challenge — saying things like “They weren’t threats. A challenge. A fight. … Still challenging Joe Rogan to a fight.” He added: “You can’t run forever. You’re eventually going to have to say something.”
From court-ordered counseling to renewed provocations
The videos mirror the tone of Johnson’s earlier posts from June, when he traveled to Rogan’s hometown of Austin, Texas. At that time, he was seen allegedly brandishing firearms and demanding a fight — behavior that led to his arrest. Although the charges were quietly dropped on November 12, many observers are questioning whether the underlying animosity has genuinely abated, or if this is merely the beginning of a renewed conflict.
