According to reports of the bomb, Johnson, an anti-aging fanatic of Daimiriori Airlines, used a private contract to silence workers for his strange behavior, including roaming around the office naked and discussing “sexual activities, including erections.”
Johnson spends $2 million a year on excessive regimens, including 54 daily pills and supplements, nighttime erection trackers, shock therapy and blood transfusions from his then-17-year-old son, making the bold claim that he reversed his age at the age of 5.1.
His unorthodox health enforcement has gained support for his “Don't Die” religion, and set him up to launch a starring role in his health startup blueprint and a recent Netflix documentary.
But behind the scenes, the 47-year-old former Mormon missionary was pressured to sign a restrictive non-disclosure agreement on his startup blueprint and his sexual partner employees, vendors and contract workers. According to the New York Times.
Shortly after Johnson sold his payment company Braintree to PayPal in 2013 to win millions, he divorced his wife, hired prostitutes and experimented with acids and psychedelics like DMT.
Johnson tattooed the chemical structure of DMT on his arm.
In 2016 he founded Kernel, a Brain Tech startup. He declined an offer to form a similar company to Tesla founder Elon Musk, according to the report.
As Musk's star power grew, Johnson began to focus more on his image and leaning harder towards NDAS, wondering why he wasn't as popular as the Tesla mogul, a former friend and employee told The Times.
As of last year, the contract was 20 pages long, including the secret “non-public information about the personal impact of Brian's home, office, home or office, other ways in which Brian's space is rented or owned, vehicles/planes/motors/boats/other transport methods are not publicly accessible.”
Employees often had to sign up for up to three separate documents, the Times said.
A copy viewed by The Times, it was a rare “opt-in” document that staff had to say was comfortable when they heard Johnson “no clothes or underwear” and “discussions of sexual activity including erections.”
They also had to agree that his actions were “unwelcome, aggressive, humiliating, hostile, inducible, non-professional or abusive.”
In a post on X, Johnson said the opt-in document was “fair to all involved and has become the number one concern for everyone.”
Johnson often walked around in small clothes during work days, flirting with female staff members most of the blueprints, sources told The Times.
They said they felt they could not speak because of the agreement.
Johnson's representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Jamie Content, Johnson's personal assistant, told The Times, who left the blueprint last year and emailed HR to raise concerns about the work environment.
She is one of at least three former Johnson employees, including his ex-fiance, and has filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Commission over his non-disclosure agreement.
Johnson's ex-fiance and Kernel employee Tallinn Southern raised concerns before and filed a 2021 lawsuit accusing Johnson of firing from the company after Johnson broke up while suffering from stage 3 breast cancer.
The lawsuit alleges that Southern forced her to sign an NDA that includes a $500,000 penalty for each breach of confidentiality rules.
She said Johnson broke his promise to move out of the house, paying $150,000 in exchange for rental, according to the Times.
However, Johnson moved the case to arbitration and in 2023 she was unable to sue him as the South was determined to have to comply with the agreement.
Johnson rebutted at legal costs, and Southern was ordered to pay him more than $584,000.
Health Fanatic posted a YouTube video detailing the trials, and later made a 2,400-word post to X claiming that his health routine saved South from her cancer and that he feared killing him with scissors.
Johnson said in a YouTube video that he would set trust as payments from “his accuser” go towards her medical costs. He opened his trust last year, but according to The Times, he closed it without putting in the money.
The report also claims that Johnson's health statistics were cherry picked to reverse aging for 5 years, and results from other studies show that according to blood test results seen by the times, his biological age has actually increased by 10 years.
In February, Johnson warned that The Times were preparing a hit from Southern “reviving the accusations.”
