Influencer Liver King, AKA Brian Johnson, became the subject of controversy when he got exposed for lying about steroid use last year. He came clean about misleading his audience and promised to get off gear. In a recent post made on Instagram, Johnson shared a crazy ripped physique update after claiming he’s been off steroids for 120 days.
Liver King first gained attention for his monstrous build and antics online during the pandemic in 2021. He promotes the consumption of raw meat and a natural way of living based on the nine ancestral tenets. His videos of eating raw meat like liver, kidney, brain, and bull testicles went viral on multiple occasions. His unusual diet combined with his intense workouts quickly garnered a massive Instagram following of nearly 2 million and over 4.3 million on TikTok.
There was a ton of speculation about whether Johnson used steroids based on his muscle-bound frame. Johnson repeatedly denied the accusations in several media appearances and credited his health to his ancestral lifestyle. In November 2022, Derek of MPMD (More Plates More Dates) revealed Johnson had been lying about his steroid use. He showed leaked emails exposing Johnson’s steroid cycle and bloodwork. Following the reveal, Liver King admitted he took steroids in an apology video.
UFC color commentator Joe Rogan never bought Johnson’s claims. He went on the offensive against Johnson’s over-the-top gimmick and called on The Rock to come clean about his alleged use as well. Things didn’t seem to end there as Liver King’s former coach ‘Vigorous Steve’ pushed back on the apology. Derek expressed a similar sentiment and said there was more to the story than meets the eye.
