Doucette shared his point of view and uploaded a video on his YouTube channel, where he openly discussed the situation Liver King was facing. But before jumping into King’s problem, Doucette gave his two cents about an accident that had happened to him in the past. The 48-year-old YouTuber said, “I was in a severe car accident, slamming my head, where I sustained a head injury and had brain damage.”
According to the Liver King, he had injured his eye during a workout with resistance bands. The bands had unexpectedly slipped and hit him in the eye. “I do believe that the liver King is being genuine but many people do not, once you’ve lied about something in the past people often think that you’re going to continue to lie,” said Doucette.
Doucette also went on to say that one could never be sure if this was a public stunt. He also added that he cannot assure the people who have their doubts about the Liver King, especially after the videos that imply he is taking the injury lightly. Earlier, Brian Johnson had taken to Instagram to explain how he had sustained the injury.

The 45-year-old took to his Instagram, where he revealed what had actually happened. “I know it’s so embarrassing… I’m doing the face pools with double bands, and I have them around the doorknob. Boom, boom, boom, snap. It comes off the anchor point, both of them. Four impacts: two fists to the head, bands right into the eye, and then head to the floor,” he said.
The demonstration was quite believable. Liver King seemed really stunned by the outcome, shocked at how simple equipment could cause such great harm. However, it seemed like many have disagreed with Doucette and pointed out the probability that this could be yet another stunt to get views and stay relevant on social media.
