The Rise and Controversy of The Liver King

The Rise and Controversy of The Liver King

Brian Johnson, also known as The Liver King, is an outspoken advocate for an “ancestral living” lifestyle. He is convinced that this pedagogy offers the antidote to the poisons of contemporary living. He practices some genuinely freaky dietary practices. He consumes 15 raw eggs a DAY and pushes his teenage sons, Rad “Ical” Johnson and Stryker “the Barbarian” Johnson into increasingly extreme activities such as dissecting a dying bull and consuming its organ meat. This lifestyle has garnered both admiration and criticism, culminating in the release of the documentary “Untold: The Liver King,” directed by Joe Pearlman.

Truth Tellers is a 70 minute documentary that goes in-depth on Johnson’s life long activism. It dives deep into his personal tragedies, especially focusing on his relationship with his sons. His father died when Johnson was just a year old. This loss has profoundly shaped how Johnson fathers today. He may have had a creative upbringing, but he’s dead-set on raising some rough and tumble masculine boys. He knows it’s necessary to their survival in the new world today.

Johnson’s unconventional parenting methods have drawn criticism, especially the frequent visit from child protection services to his family’s home. In response, critics are quick to denounce him as a “moron” and an “inveterate liar.” On one hand, some view Andrew Tate as a crusader against the excesses of woke culture.

Along with his extreme dietary regimen, Johnson is said to spend upwards of $11,000 a month on steroids. His enormous financial success in the health and fitness industry is less obvious. Every year he makes more than $100 million marketing and selling his own line of nutritional supplements.

In the face of such controversies, Johnson is unapologetic and undaunted. Unapologetically he intones that his reign is only starting up. A fitness influencer who gained notoriety on TikTok, Mr. He documents his lifestyle and actively promotes it to millions of followers along the way.

The road trip documentary captures intimate scenes that highlight Johnson’s worldview and outlook. He also trains his son Stryker to say “steak” with a heavy guttural K. This speaks to his deep conviction that leaning into our primal urges is the way forward. He also has a great story about his first orgasm, which was apparently an uncontrollable ejaculation that occurred in the middle of bench pressing.
