A well-known fitness influencer recognized for his unconventional diet, which resembles that of wild animals, has returned to the internet following an arrest for allegedly threatening UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan with terroristic actions. 

Brian Johnson, widely known by his online alias, the “Liver King,” was released from a Texas jail following his arrest on Tuesday evening, as per updates shared on his Instagram account. 

On Wednesday night, Johnson quickly resumed his online presence, sharing a series of disjointed videos where he talked about his recent arrest and indirectly mentioned Rogan without naming him.

According to the Austin Police Department, Rogan told authorities the two men had never met and that he felt the videos were threatening in nature. Detectives subsequently obtained a warrant for Johnson’s arrest and he was taken into custody at the nearby Four Seasons hotel without incident, police said. 

A video of Johnson handcuffed while sitting in the back of a police vehicle was posted to his Instagram account on Tuesday night.

Johnson participates in a self-described “ancestral lifestyle,” rising to internet stardom by discussing topics such as his diet of primarily raw meat – including animal liver. 

Johnson was charged with allegedly making a terroristic threat and initially held at 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.
