The pressure that social media influencers have to portray a perfect image of themselves to their fans can be a bit detrimental at times. One such fitness influencer who gave in to the pressure of impressing his fans via an astounding physique is none other than Brian Johnson, A.K.A., Liver King. While he did manage to succeed in establishing himself as a primal who only depends on natural resources for his survival and fitness journey, it was later found that he was using abusive dosages of PEDs and steroids to get a ripped physique.

Months after this controversy, Liver King has now posted another update where he claims that he has sustained eye injuries due to which he is wearing a patch. Unfortunately, given his record, many people suspect that this is just a marketing gimmick to stay relevant. However, he recently dropped another health update, which might come as a shock to many. Let’s take a look at what it is.

Fitness influencer Brian Johnson, who is commonly known as ‘Liver King’ due to the ancestral lifestyle that he follows, actively makes content on the benefits of consuming raw, unprocessed meats. After being seen wearing a patch in the last few videos, Liver King revealed on his website that he suffered an ‘eye attack.’ Speaking about this horrendous incident, he wrote, “Yes, I sustained strikes, got knocked out, got concussed, got taken by ambulance to hospital, and got eye injuries.

Just a short while later, he posted another Instagram post where he revealed that he was dealing with brain damage. He said, “So now everybody’s asking for details details, details. How did it happen?” Revealing further, he stated, “Here’s the deal. I got knocked the fu** out so bad, ambulance took me to the hospital, got the CT scans learned that I concussed multiple impacts, learned of damage that I have behind me in the eye, aka brain damage that I have sustained. So what I’m trying to do now is really just…rest, heal, and recover.”

Apart from the fans and viewers, bodybuilding veteran and IFBB pro coach Greg Doucette also seems to think that this can be another story that Liver King has woven for views.

Doucette has been in the realm of fitness and bodybuilding for decades now. Having been lifting since his teenage years and having won his pro card in 2012, he has enough knowledge when it comes to steroids and performance-enhancing drugs. According to Doucette, Liver King has still not stopped using anabolics as he claimed he would.

According to the IFBB pro coach, “People get used to whatever you are doing; the shock value goes down, and so as the Liver King continues to make videos, he has to make them more shocking than last time, or else people don’t tune in.”
