In the video, the YouTuber shared email exchanges between Johnson and a body building coach. In the emails, the jacked social media sensation admitted to taking $12,000 worth of pharmaceutical HGH per month that included three injections per day. A few of the substances he consumed included IGF, CJC, Decca, Omnitrope, Winstrol and Test Cyp.
In the video, Derek also revealed that Johnson reached out to him in May 2021 in an attempt to sell consolations for coaching. The latter said that he was experimenting with different peptides.
In June of the same year, the YouTuber received an email from Johnson’s alleged associate asking him for advice on an HGH prescription that Johnson was taking.
Meanwhile, Johnson took to social media to promote his holistic method of consuming raw meat the way he claimed our ancestors did in the past. He also pushed products and supplements to his followers under the guise of his natural lifestyle, claiming that they helped him build his impressive muscular frame.
Netizens react to Liver King consuming steroids
While several followers were surprised by the influencer consuming steroids, many critics showed no adverse reaction. Many claimed that they expected so from the beginning of his career. An array of netizens slammed his nine ancestral ways of life that he lives by and expressed disbelief at the Liver King gaining popularity online. A few tweets read:
who would’ve thought that a narcissist whose livelihood depends on looking good would ever take steroids
Feeling hurt and betrayed that liver king was lying to us who would’ve thought that a narcissist whose livelihood depends on looking good would ever take steroids
If you ever thought that a man called the Liver King who looked like this and could barely breathe after a short jog was not on a large amount of PEDs you are an idiot and should not be allowed to vote.
Joe Rogan sceptical over Liver King’s natural lifestyle
In the past, the podcast host expressed that he believes that Johnson’s lifestyle was a “gimmick.” Speaking about Johnson, Joe Rogan said on a podcast:
“No, that’s a gimmick, that guy. He’s got an a*s filled with steroids is what he got. That’s not a natural body. That guy is shooting all kinds of s&&t into his system to achieve that kind of physique. I don’t even know if there’s a benefit in eating raw meat. From what I’ve understood, talking to experts, there’s actually a lot gained from cooking because the protein becomes more bioavailable.”
Johnson has always claimed to eat a pound of raw liver each day. Speaking about steroids, he has said in the past that he does not “touch the stuff.”
