Johnson, who was picked up by police in Rogan’s hometown, is seen wearing a burgundy sweatshirt, sweatpants, and a vest in the video. He shared multiple videos on social media following the challenge to Rogan. Liver King can be seen pacing around a room with his family present discussing “prison” and “being arrested.”
Law enforcement seemingly arrive at the room and are allowed in by the cameraman. Following another rant, Johnson calls for the videos to be uploaded on social media. He was then allowed to give a hug to his wife and kids being being escorted out and eventually placed in the police vehicle.
Liver King’s Challenge to Joe Rogan
On Monday, Liver King shared the original video calling out and making threats to Joe Rogan. The two have gone back-and-forth over the years on different platforms regarding Liver King’s natural status and this is apparently where the feud began.
“Joe Rogan, we don’t have to make videos and to pretend anymore. All of this is happening, I challenge you man to man, to a fight.”
In December 2022, it all came out that Liver King was in fact on steroids. Derek from More Plates More Dates leaked emails from Liver King claiming that he is on PEDs. Johnson commented briefly in an exchange with Rolling Stone and vowed to release his own statement, which he did on YouTube. This came after many comments made by Rogan on his natty status. Two years later, Johnson seems to want to settle the score.
“Honorable. The world is watching. They’ll make the videos for us. You don’t have to hold a camera. You can hold the hand of somebody that you love because what happens next to you, you’ll have to remember that feeling.”
This story continues to be developing as further arrest details and attorney information for Johnson was not shared.
