The year’s not ending on a good note for social media sensation Liver King. A promoter of an ancestral lifestyle, Brian Johnson, aka ‘Liver King,’ has been under the radar ever since he was exposed to using steroids. Though he initially brushed off the claims, he eventually had to agree after a series of emails were released by a YouTuber. As the story unfolds daily, the TikTok star finds himself getting more dragged into the controversy. But it’s not just him who is in the pool of controversy. Joining the fitness coach is kickboxer Andrew Tate. Though for separate reasons, the difficulties for the two are far from ending.
Broo. I love how big a deal shit is to you guys on the internet. "Liver King does steroids!?" No shit. Look at him. Of course he does.
"Andrew Tate is sex trafficking and involved in organized crime!?!"
No shit. Look at him. Of course he does.
They are all false idols.

The social media stars were called out for allegedly trying to pull off a lifestyle they themselves do not follow. Coming down harshly, one user said, “they are, chances are they’re probably just a sad loser on the make and trying to fleece you.
Maybe this is stating the obvious but if someone, like the Liver King or Andrew Tate, has to tell you repeatedly how much of an "alpha male" they are, chances are they're probably just a sad loser on the make, and trying to fleece you.

Taking a slight dig at Andrew Tate, one user remarks how he, alongside Liver King, tries to act as a guardian figure. Even though they have their flaws, there are people who listen to them.
The fact that people look at Andrew Tate as a figure to get guidance from tells you how broken and shallow our society has become. Same was for liver king.

For those unversed, Liver King had earlier apologized for misleading his customers and followers by hiding his use of steroids. A promoter of the “primal” lifestyle, the US-based fitness influencer took to his YouTube channel to apologize.
Though many expressed their anger with extreme words, some were a little soft.
I’m sorry but if you believe he got like that from eating straight liver… it’s natural selection and I don’t feel bad you got scammed. https://t.co/e3mLj6w84Y
