A prolific fitness influencer known for his bizarre, animalistic diet is back online after being arrested for allegedly making terroristic threats toward UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan. 

Brian Johnson, known as the “Liver King” on his popular social media platforms, has been released from a Texas jail after he was arrested Tuesday night, according to posts on his Instagram. 

Johnson immediately returned to social media Wednesday night to post a series of rambling videos discussing his arrest and seemingly poking at Rogan without addressing him directly.

According to the Austin Police Department, Rogan told authorities the two men had never met and that he felt the videos were threatening in nature. Detectives subsequently obtained a warrant for Johnson’s arrest and he was taken into custody at the nearby Four Seasons hotel without incident, police said. 

A video of Johnson handcuffed while sitting in the back of a police vehicle was posted to his Instagram account on Tuesday night.

Johnson participates in a self-described “ancestral lifestyle,” rising to internet stardom by discussing topics such as his diet of primarily raw meat – including animal liver. 

Johnson was charged with allegedly making a terroristic threat and initially held at the Travis County Jail, according to APD. 

Representatives for both Rogan and Johnson did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
