Liver King breaks silence as he's FREED from jail after dramatic Joe Rogan arrest
Disgraced fitness influencer 'Liver King' broke his silence on his arrest for making 'terroristic threats' against Joe Rogan with a string of bizarre social media videos. The influencer, real name Brian Johnson, 48, shared a string of bizarre social media clips following his arrest on Tuesday, including videos of himself trying to start a fire, praying by candlelight and eating steaks. 'I had to wash the jail off me,' he says in one clip shared from his home in Willis, Texas, where he traveled from over the weekend to track down Rogan and try to 'fight' him. Johnson was taken into custody on Tuesday after documenting his journey to Austin to find Rogan, in which he ominously showed an axe and said: 'We come bearing gifts, for those that deserve it.' After posting a $20,000 bail, Johnson shared a number of worrying clips, including one of him praying by candlelight with his hands visibly shaking, thanking God for 'this moment.' 'Thank you, king time, king time, king time,' he said, before standing up and dancing as dramatic piano music played in the background. Many of the influencer's 2.9 million followers flooded his comment sections urging Johnson to 'get help.' He shared the bizarre clips as it was reported that Rogan was quizzed by Austin police following Johnson's arrest, where he told investigators he has no idea why he was being targeted. Johnson's anger at Rogan appeared to stem from a 2022 scandal where he was exposed as a steroid user after he claimed to his millions of followers that his muscular physique was the result of a raw meat 'carnivore' diet. Rogan amplified the scandal on his huge Spotify podcast, but in arrest documents first obtained by TMZ, police say Rogan was surprised by the recent episode with Johnson as he had never had any actual contact with him. The podcaster told police that he has been told Johnson 'has a significant drug issue', according to the arrest documents. Rogan has not commented publicly on Johnson's recent menacing behavior. In the days before his arrest, Johnson went on a manic tirade on Instagram where he shared dozens of videos of himself ranting about fighting Rogan, giving himself a 'coffee enema', and seemingly talking to himself. Rogan seemed to be aware of the videos as he also told cops following Johnson's arrest that he 'appears to be significantly unstable and seems like he needs help.' Johnson was taken into custody on Tuesday in an arrest he also documented for social media, and he was charged with making terroristic threats, a misdemeanor, and posted a $20,000 bail. The arrest followed a string of worrying Instagram clips Johnson shared in the lead up to his arrest, garnering millions of views as he rambled about fighting Rogan. As he filmed himself getting ready to leave his home in Willis, Texas to find Rogan in Austin, he showed a Joe Rogan podcast branded box with an axe perched ominously on top, and said: 'We come bearing gifts, for those that deserve it.' 'We'll see you soon,' he said as he addressed Rogan directly. 'Real tension I have with you, real f***ing beef.' 'If I could just get a formal invitation to the Joe Rogan podcast, I could release myself from leaving tomorrow,' he said the day before he left. The next day, Johnson shared another clip calling out Rogan to fight him, saying: 'Man to man, I'm picking a fight with you... I have no training in Jui Jitsu, you have a black belt, you should dismantle me.' Wearing a wolf's head hat, Johnson began dancing on camera with his shirt off, saying: 'That's pretty entertaining right?' 'You can't pick a fight with a real king and then expect there not to be an actual fight, bro,' he added. After sharing several more clips of himself aimlessly talking into the camera, Johnson shared another clip on Tuesday morning as he made his way to Austin, pointing his camera at the axe and saying: 'You can't buy this kind of stuff, the serial numbers are not replicable.' Speaking from a hotel room in Austin once he arrived in Rogan's hometown, Johnson claimed in an erratic shower video that he'd had a run in with police over his threats, and also showed himself giving himself a 'coffee enema.' 'I challenge you today, Joe Rogan,' he said. 'I'm here at the Four Seasons in Austin, I'm in the shower... I didn't sleep the day before, I was up for about 40 hours.' Johnson went on a hard-to-follow rant about a run-in with police officers as he jumped back and forth from multiple topics in no logical order. 'The police are coming or something's happening... I've not threatened to kill anybody. Did somebody say that I was going to kill somebody?' he said. 'I am going to. I've picked a fight. Who have I picked a fight with? Joe Rogan... Why? Out of principle. Family.' 'I'm challenging you, just as a man. I don't want to kill you. Why would I want to kill you? You have a family. I wouldn't want to take you away from your family. 'I wouldn't want that to happen so I hope that none of this is perceived as a threat. F**k you Joe Rogan, you guys can call all the cops.' Later, his wife shared another video purporting to show the moment he was searched and placed into a cop car by officers. In the video, a member of his team, while filming, tells his wife that Johnson may have to spend up to 24 hours in jail as his matter is dealt with. Johnson was seen in footage filmed by a member of his 'team' wordlessly complying with officers as they patted him down while he wore handcuffs. The influencer had kept a relatively low profile after his steroid scandal came to light in 2022, but has resurfaced and ramped up his social media presence in the wake of a new Netflix documentary which released in April. 'Untold: The Liver King' explores his supplement empire and rise to the top by eating raw meat - specifically animal livers and testicles - on social media. After another fitness YouTuber caught him in his bold faced lie with blood test results and a leaked email, Johnson filmed a video admitting fault.

Police chief sacked for rejecting ‘nonsense' racism claims launches legal battle
The head of the West Midlands Police Federation is taking legal action after he was removed from office for rejecting claims racism was widespread among his colleagues. Richard Cooke, who was elected to represent 7,000 rank and file officers in the country's second largest police force, was suspended and banned from standing in recent elections following comments he made on the X social media platform. Responding to claims made in a Channel 4 news report that racism and misogyny were widespread in West Midlands Police, Mr Cooke wrote: '....I don't recognise these attitudes. They do not represent us – we are an anti-racist organisation'. In a second tweet, he dismissed suggestions that the force had done nothing to tackle racism, writing: 'Nonsense – and so was the report but these reporters rarely bother checking their sources.' Following the remarks, which were made in December, Mr Cooke was suspended by the Police Federation of England and Wales (PFEW) from his position as branch chairman pending an investigation. Bosses at the police union claimed his comments risked 'alienating those of our members who might be victims of discriminatory treatment -effectively leaving them with nowhere to turn for support and representation''. A 'witch hunt' It is understood the suspension came after the two officers who had featured in the original Channel 4 News report lodged a complaint. Mr Cooke lodged an appeal against his suspension but that was dismissed at a hearing in March he was not invited to attend. He was also banned from standing for election for three years meaning he was not on the recent ballot papers and so has now been replaced as branch chairman. With the support of the Free Speech Union he is challenging the process in the courts and is looking to join forces with Rick Prior, the former chairman of the Metropolitan Police Federation, who was sacked in similar circumstances for comments he made in the media. Mr Cooke, who has been elected as branch chairman in three separate elections since 2018, said he had been the victim of a 'witch hunt'. 'Deeply sinister' He told the Telegraph: 'I have been removed from office for speaking out in defence of my members and for reflecting their views, which is what I was elected to do. 'The media report wrongly suggested that racism and misogyny were widespread in West Midlands Police. I challenged that because I do not recognise that and it is unfair to the vast majority of my colleagues. 'I did not suggest that racism and misogyny do not exist within the force but to shut me down for stating my views is deeply sinister. 'This is a witch hunt. My reputation has been unfairly traduced and I have been removed from an elected post and banned from standing for office for speaking bluntly. There is clearly a political agenda at play here.' Lord Young, general secretary of the Free Speech Union, agreed: 'Twenty-five years ago, a Police Federation Chair would have been suspended for disparaging his fellow officers. Today, you get suspended for defending them. We're through the looking glass.' Mr Cooke is crowdsourcing to fund a legal claim against the PFEW and is hoping to join Mr Prior's judicial review which is currently pending. 'A striking crisis of confidence' Mr Prior was suspended and eventually sacked from his democratically elected post representing 30,000 Met officers after giving an interview in which he suggested his colleagues were worried about using force for fear of being labelled racist. In an interview with GB News, Mr Prior said: 'There's a striking crisis of confidence at the moment within policing in general, and certainly within the Met police, whereby officers are withdrawing from any kind of proactive policing for fear of falling foul of the IOPC [Independent Office of Police Conduct] or a vexatious or malicious complaint.' The day after his comments were broadcast, he was suspended by the PFEW for allegedly making comments that were 'discriminatory in nature'. He was also barred from standing for re-election but launched legal action to challenge the suspension. However after giving an interview to the Telegraph about his situation, he was immediately dismissed for breaching the terms of his suspension. Both he and Mr Cooke have now returned to frontline police roles with their own forces. A PFEW spokesman said: 'Richard Cooke was removed from his role as Chair of the West Midlands Federation branch following an extensive process, which included an appeal. 'He was investigated following complaints from members about comments on social media which were judged by a panel of his peers to have been in breach of the Federation's standards. 'Our processes, which are set in statute, were followed rigorously and applied fairly at all times. Richard Cooke remains a serving police officer with the West Midlands Force.'
