Controversy

Usage of steroids

When Brian began his journey as a social media influencer, he used to claim that his body is “all-natural” and that he never used steroids to gain muscle. On 29 November 2022, a YouTuber named Derek, who has a YouTube channel named More Plates More Dates, posted an hour-long video titled “The Liver King Lie” in which he said that Liver King extensively used steroids for bodybuilding. He also said that Liver King mailed a bodybuilding coach on 29 June 2021 and claimed that he used steroids to build his body and spends approximately $ 11k each month on steroids. After the expose video, Liver King released a 6-minute-long apology video on 2 December 2022 in which he accepted his mistake of using steroids and apologized for “lying and misleading” his followers. He also said that he could not reveal the truth as many people who were suffering from poor mental health saw him as their idol. In his video, he said,
I am making this video to apologize because I f***ed up, because I am embarrassed and ashamed, because I lied and I misled a lot of people. It has been tricky as f*** to navigate. Well, clearly, I did it wrong and I am here now to set the record straight — yes, I have done steroids and yes, I’m on steroids monitored and managed by a trained hormone clinician. While spreading the message, I have been on several podcasts, and when asked if I’ve ever taken steroids, I have always said, ‘no. I do not touch the stuff. Not going to touch the stuff. Never touched the stuff.’ That was a lie. I’ve convinced myself this had nothing to do with the ancestral message. I fully own that I f***ed up. I am as sorry as a man can be, and all I can do is take extreme ownership right now, be better, and lead myself to a better life as a better human.”
