TikTok 'Liver King' touted raw organ meat diet. He also took steroids. [View all]

The self-proclaimed Liver King, a muscular and often shirtless TikTok star named Brian Johnson, amassed millions of followers by promoting an “ancestral” diet of beef brains, bull testicles and raw animal livers.

But recently, Johnson posted a different kind of viral video — an apology. Johnson admitted to taking anabolic steroids, something which he had repeatedly denied in the past. The confessional video has been viewed more than 2.6 million times on YouTube.

Bearded, with bulging abs and biceps, Johnson has been one of the breakout stars of social media this past year, rapidly building his following by claiming that one of the keys to strength, happiness and optimal health is a meat-heavy diet that prioritizes organ meats.

Just another social media influencer faker.

Eta - he is still taking steroids. Supposively has a special drug nutritionist, I thought this stuff was illegal.
