Brian Johnson, who is mostly known by his fitness influencer personality Liver King, claimed that he achieved his muscular body by following ancestral tenets like eating raw animal organs.
However, Johnson admitted to using anabolic steroids on December 1. This came a few days after fitness creator More Plates More Dates shared screenshots of emails between Johnson and a bodybuilding coach. They revealed that he was taking more than 10,000 worth of Omnitrope, a growth hormone, per month as well as a variety of other drugs.

There’s no denying that Dwayne Johnson remains in peak physical condition, which he’s credited to a strict diet and grueling exercise regimen that sees him spend three to four hours in the gym, six days a week.
However, Joe Rogan is dubious that Johnson can maintain his huge physique without a little pharmaceutical assistance, something he addressed in a recent edition of his “Joe Rogan Podcast.”
As Page Six reports, Rogan was discussing disgraced fitness influencer Brian Johnson, a.k.a. “the Liver King,” who was exposed for taking steroids while claiming his massive musculature was the result of his “ancestral” raw meat diet.

Controversial podcast host and UFC commentator Joe Rogan has called on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to “come clean” about whether he uses steroids.
On his podcast this week, Rogan was discussing the downfall of the self-proclaimed Liver King – a fitness influencer who promoted an “ancestral” diet of raw meat.
Liver King, real name Brian Johnson, was recently exposed for taking anabolic steroids, something that he had repeatedly denied doing in interviews.
Rogan was joined on his podcast by the man who leaked Liver King’s emails describing his steroid regimen, another fitness influencer known as Derek from More Plates More Dates.
Rogan said he wasn’t surprised “at all” by Liver King’s admission, as “there’s no way you can look like that, in your 40s”.
The host then turned his attention to Johnson, saying: “The Rock should come clean right now.
“He should make a video in response to the Liver King video.

Brian Johnson, better known as the organ-devouring masculinity influencer “Liver King,” has admitted to steroid use in a somber video shared on his YouTube and Instagram accounts.
“I fully own that I fucked up,” he said in the six-minute confession. “I am as sorry as a man can be.”
The pained statement comes in response to a video from another bodybuilder, Derek of the online fitness brand “More Plates More Dates,” that purported to show emails in which Johnson described his steroid regimen — a suite of injections costing some 11,000 per month.

Liver King, a social media fitness guru and supplements hawker who preaches returning to an all-natural, raw meat-based “ancestral” diet, is facing backlash for alleged steroid use.
For those who aren’t familiar, the Liver King (real name Brian Johnson) has gotten big on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok over the past couple years. He uses that platform to urge his millions of followers to embrace a “primal” lifestyle, aka a keto diet with a lot of raw meat–and raw liver, and testicles, and bone marrow–thrown in.
He claims to operate by nine core “ancestral tenets,” most of which involve rejecting the “tremendous friction between modern environments and our biology,” which he says is exacerbated by stuff like canola oil.
Viewers who want to get as jacked as Johnson is just have to follow his tenets…and maybe buy some of those 138 supplement packs he sells.
Or, at least,...

Brian Johnson, who rocketed to internet fame as a fitness and masculinity influencer calling himself “Liver King,” is facing the wrath of acolytes after another bodybuilder presented what he says is evidence that Johnson has been using steroids.

Singer Billy Joel welcomed surprise guest Olivia Rodrigo during his 82nd consecutive sold-out show at New York’s Madison Square Garden for runs through her hit single ‘Deja Vu’ and his own 1983 smash ‘Uptown Girl’ released nearly 20 years before Rodrigo was even born.
Decked up in a plunging black top, a brown patterned skirt and black leather boots, Rodrigo saluted Joel’s influence on her songwriting with ‘Deja Vu’, which references both Joel and ‘Uptown Girl’.
The pair embraced warmly following the latter.
Beyond a steady stream of hits such as ‘Just the Way You Are’, ‘Allentown’, ‘Only the Good Die Young’ and ‘My Life’, Wednesday’s show included rarities such as the opening ‘A Matter of Trust’, ‘I Go to Extremes’ and ‘The Downeaster Alexa’, reports Variety.
Joel was in fine, self-deprecating form all night, warning the crowd that he might not reach a key high note in ‘An Innocent Man...

Billy Joel performed at Detroit’s Comerica Park on July 9, just one night before the Mötley Crüe/Def Leppard/Poison/Joan Jett mega tour hit the same venue. It happened to be a night off for the Eighties hard rock groups, and Joel brought out one of the lead singers to give his audience a little preview of what they could expect the following night.
