His body is inconceivably muscular and strong, yet bodybuilder Brian Johnson, known on the Internet by the nickname Liver King, has always insisted that he was "built" completely naturally as a result of his "ancestral lifestyle" of intense exercise and eating raw meat and offal.
The "Liver King's" online fame exploded last year when the 45-year-old with his impressive physique began posting fitness content videos on social media, mainly on Instagram. His bizarre eating habits, such as frequent consumption of raw liver hence his nickname and his advice on the fitness required to gain a muscular body attracted millions of followers worldwide and earned the Liver King huge profits.
But now, Johnson's promising career as an influencer f seems to have taken a pretty big hit: A YouTuber named Derek, whose channel is dedicated to famous bodybuilders and the "natural or otherwise" way they got their bulging bodies, has taken aim at him.
In a video he recently posted that has already surpassed one and a half million views, Derek shows an email he claims the Liver King sent to an unnamed coach in 2021. In these communications, always according to Derek's video, the 45-year-old shares his goal to build his brand and admits to using $11,000 worth of steroids per month.
If the emails are indeed authentic, Johnson's claims about the "miraculous" effect of his diet of raw liver, marrow and egg yolks on "building" muscle are obviously a lie, and the videos he uploads are outright fraud.
This revelation about the influencer has sparked intense mockery on social media, as the "King of Fungus" has always insisted that his lifestyle as a "modern day caveman" has ensured he has the looks he has today. The 45-year-old has repeatedly denied on podcasts and shows that he takes steroids to maintain that bulk in his muscles, but now a video is threatening to "tear down" his brand and his fitness career.
Derek's revelations have received a variety of comments on social media, with some users supporting the Liver King saying they don't believe the evidence and others saying their suspicions have finally been confirmed, and calling for the 45-year-old to be held accountable.
