Liver King Allegedly Breaches Sworn Agreement He Insisted Upon
In the world of health influencers, a unique lawsuit has been making waves. Brad Kearns, renowned for his Guinness World Record in speedgolfing, and Liver King, known for his 'ancestral' diet, are embroiled in a legal dispute over a supplement.
The crux of the matter revolves around a supplement, and the lawsuit involves a petition for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction. According to Kearns, he and Liver King, whose real name is Brian Johnson, drew up a one-page agreement for their partnership, which was signed in blood at Liver King's insistence. However, the blood aspect of the contract does not hold any special legal significance.
Courts, including those in California, have ruled that contracts signed with blood are symbolic gestures rather than legally enforceable agreements. The inclusion of blood as a "signature" does not elevate the contract's enforceability. Despite admitting they signed with blood, Liver King's team denies the substantive allegations.
The dispute focuses on whether a valid contract exists, but the inclusion of blood as a "signature" does not create additional legal obligation. Legal experts emphasise that "blood oaths" are more theatrical and symbolic than legally binding.
It is important to note that Liver King's company, Ancestral Supplements, sells a product called MOFO, which was the subject of Kearns' pitch for a partnership. However, Ancestral Supplements denies having any interest in the name MOFO, as they claim they had not heard an official pitch from Kearns on the supplement.
Meanwhile, Liver King is facing a separate class action lawsuit from fans who accuse him of misleading them about his 'ancestral' diet and its effect on his body.
As the legal proceedings continue, it remains unclear if Liver King's company, Ancestral Supplements, has any plans to develop a chill pill supplement, as initially proposed in the partnership agreement. The lawsuit is currently ongoing, with both parties presenting their arguments in court.
