A fitness influencer who gained popularity due to his unusual eating behaviors was arrested on Tuesday. He allegedly shared threatening messages targeting podcaster Joe Rogan in a multi-video rant on Instagram, officials report.

Brian Johnson, widely recognized on social media as “Liver King,” was apprehended by the Austin Police Department. The arrest, which was dramatic, was caught on video and shared on Johnson’s own Instagram account, police confirmed.

Authorities were alerted to a series of supposed online threats made by Johnson towards Rogan. They discovered that Johnson was heading to Rogan’s city of Austin while continuously issuing the alleged threats, according to the police.

Johnson, who boasts a whopping 2.9 million followers on Instagram, frequently posts about his self-described “ancestral lifestyle” and fitness routines, often sharing videos dedicated to his diet consisting primarily of raw meat. 

Rogan previously discussed Johnson’s alleged use of steroids on a 2023 episode of his podcast, with Johnson initially denying the claims before issuing an apology to his viewers. 

Johnson was charged with allegedly making a terroristic threat and transported to the Travis County Jail, according to APD. 

Representatives for both Rogan and Johnson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
