Since his release, the fitness influencer has continuedposting on Instagramabout Rogan and his arrest from a hotel room.
“How does Liver King get ready for a fight? Blue Scorpion.

But that box was actually a present back for you and your Mothership colleagues,” Johnson said in his first video
“So the terroristic threat, that was reduced… I don’t want to say any details, nor any names, but that’s how you get ready for a fight.”
