Athletic Figures Reportedly Sighted: Dubious Health Guru Visible Amid Fitness Regime in Urban Las Vegas
Fitness Influencer Liver King's Controversial Comeback and Upcoming Netflix Documentary
Once a sensation online, the rugged fitness influencer known as Liver King faced a massive backlash a few years ago when his claims of an all-raw meat diet to maintain his physique were busted. In a shocking YouTube video released in December 2021, the dude, named Brian Johnson, fessed up to using an astounding $11,000 worth of steroids monthly. Customers who had invested in his Ancestral Supplements banded together to file a whopping $25 million lawsuit against him, accusing him of using underhanded marketing tactics[2].
Since then, ol' Liver King has kept a low profile, but got spotted recently strapping a weighted sled and juggling kettlebells on Fremont Street, downtown Las Vegas. An onlooker managed to get a shot of this spectacle, which was shared by Las Vegas Locally. Liver King himself has yet to acknowledge this event on his social media[1].
It seems like Johnson managed to settle the multimillion-dollar lawsuit over his supplements, as the class action case filed against him was dismissed with prejudice by the Cotter Law Group on March 24, 2023[2]. At its peak, Johnson's Ancestral Supplements were raking in more than $100 million in annual sales.
Curious about the darker side of Liver King's fame? Well, folks, Netflix is rolling out a documentary titled "Untold: The Liver King" on May 13, 2025. This exposé promises to dive deep into the steroid scandal surrounding Johnson, shedding light on his rapid rise to stardom, featuring interviews with him, his loved ones, and associates[3]. Get ready to uncover the unfiltered truth behind Liver King and his controversies.

The lawsuit alleges that Johnson deceptively promoted a primal lifestyle to boost his businesses, going against his claimed ancestral diet to achieve his physique.
