In his own words, Rogan remembered when a quarrel between him, who liked King Kong, and his cousin, who liked Godzilla, occurred. He said his father pulled him inside a room, shut the door, and questioned whether he cried.
Rogan’s mother divorced his father due to the abuse. They moved from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California. She met Rogan’s stepdad later on, who was a computer programmer before he became an architect. Rogan explained, “All of a sudden I’m living with this hippie guy in San Francisco with a bunch of gay people … and it’s all like peace and love, it’s the ‘70s man.”
In a recent article by ‘The Sun’, it was reported that Rogan’s biological father reportedly said he had no regrets for not talking with his son for 40 years. His daughter even stepped up to defend the abuse of her father in this interview, saying, “my father is the original Joe Rogan”.
