The $100 Million Liver King Admits To Using Steroids

The Liver King built a $100 million a year kingdom on a diet of raw meat and rigorous exercise to achieve “strength, health, and happiness.”

In his viral videos on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, the organ-guzzling Liver King preached loudly for an “ancestral” caveman-like lifestyle, eating such delicacies as raw liver, bone marrow and bull’s testicles.

He then made a fortune selling protein supplements and dried animal organs through his Heart & Soil and Ancestral brands.

But now the Liver King’s reign as a leading fitness influencer is in jeopardy after he confessed to lying about taking steroids to enhance his jacked physique.

“I lied and I misled a lot of people,” Liver King, whose real name is Brian Johnson, said in a somber YouTube video. “Yes, I’ve been on steroids and yes, I’m on steroids.”

The use of steroids by the Liver King

Many skeptics, in particular Joe Rogan, were skeptical that the 45-year-old Johnson was not taking performance-enhancing drugs. But Johnson repeatedly denied using steroids.

“I don’t touch things. I’ve never done things. I’m not going to do things,” he said Power Project podcast by Mark Bell.

Instead, he put forward a story that his family (his wife is The Liver Queen) lived according to “nine ancestral tenants”: eat, sleep, move, shine, connect, cold, sun, fight, and bond.

But last week, the Liver King’s all-natural facade was revealed by another fitness YouTuber More boards More dates, which showed leaked emails of Johnson admitting to taking multiple steroids and asking a dealer to sell him more. The video also featured Johnson’s blood test, which revealed steroid use.

Why the Liver King lied

Sitting shirtless on a leather throne, the normally boastful Johnson humbly confessed to lying about his steroid use in an apology video. “I’m as sorry as a man can be,” he said.

He admitted to taking 120 mg of testosterone a week, but denied other rumors, such as getting abdominal implants or plastic surgery.

Johnson blamed his insecurity on his steroid use.

“When I’m talking about the 85 percent of the population who suffer from self-esteem issues, that’s me. I’m part of that statistic. This is why I work myself to death in the gym. This is why I do 12 to 15 blood-burning workouts a week just to feel like I’m okay,” he said. “And hormone replacement has helped in a profound and significant way.”

Will The Liver King Be Dethroned? The fate of his empire is unclear and Johnson doesn’t say much about his future moves.

“All I can do right now is take extreme responsibility, get better and lead myself to a better life as a better person,” he told his millions of followers.
