The millionaire host of The Joe Rogan Experience has also had notorious takes that earned severe backlash from many people. In fact, such controversies also paved the way for his rise to global superstardom. One such backlash occurred when Rogan defended former Bellator star Joe Schilling for knocking out a guy in a bar. A clip of the same had gone viral in 2021 and incited quite a reaction from the internet community.

On JRE episode #1837, Rogan hosted MMA icon, Gina Carano. During their conversation, Rogan mentioned the incident in passing and joked about it. However, the 55-year-old’s comments did not amuse many fans. Several of them found Rogan’s take on the assault utterly distasteful.
