His ex fiance, not ex wife, not ex wife. His ex fiance sued him for $9 million. Now, from all intents and purposes, this guy owns several different companies. As far as what I can research, and I think in a general sense, his goal is to live forever. His goal is to live forever. If I’m not mistaken, I believe that his entire channel and his entire companies is dedicated to trying to turn back the hands of time and try to figure out how at some point, somehow get himself to even to be able to live forever.
All right, so again, his name is Brian Johnson, and he said that his ex fiance sued him for $9 million. I want to break this down. And again, the theme of the show is going back to the idea that the more visible you become, the more successful you become, the harder it is for you to be able to keep it. Hi, everyone. Two and a half years ago, on a normal Tuesday morning, I was going about my normal routine, and I received an email from a lawyer that attached a 13 page letter from my former fiance.
This letter accused me of all sorts of, quote, perverse and abusive behavior. It was a shocking email to receive. Never would I have expected this thing to arrive in my email box. At the time, there was a lot of accusations being made about a lot of people. And I knew that many people were losing their jobs and their careers over this time. And I was now right in the thick of it.
I never imagined myself to be there as I read through the letter. So basically, he was getting me, too, trying to make sense of reality. It was a state of paralysis I’ve never experienced before. I spent the day talking to friends. I spoke to my attorneys, and we were trying to figure out what to do universally. The advice I received from everyone was settle it. Remain private. Don’t take this into the public sphere, because one’s reputation can be eternally tarnished and it’s very hard to come back from.
And it felt devastating to me. The accusations felt like an injustice. And herein lies the dilemma, especially for rich men or men that have resources. The dilemma is, do you just make it an easy payday for somebody and then potentially make it go away? And this is a lot of times what people that have money wind up doing, because the possibility of losing based off of somebody’s opinion of you is great.
On top of that, you also have to factor in the idea that it then becomes public and then it can ruin your reputation. And then last but not least, it’s always the possibility for you to be able to lose, even if it’s just an accusation. Now remember, this is an ex fiance. This is not a wife. This is not somebody that he was married to. This is a person that he was engaged to be married to, but never actually went through with it, obviously, for whatever reasons.
Right. But again, the idea is that usually what they will tell you to do is just settle it, because in lawyers fees and a different cost and a potential ruin to your reputation, they’re saying that you’re never going to be able to come back from that. And so a lot of times people just don’t see is worth it. When you see people settle stuff, it doesn’t mean an admission of guilt.
It doesn’t mean that they’re guilty at all. It means that they’re making a strategic decision to make sure that they protect themselves, their business interests and the people that surround them that may have some vested interest in them being successful. Also, maybe they have some interest in your company or whatever, so on and so forth. Right? But the idea a lot of times that people don’t really understand is that men are under duress, even if they’re not necessarily going to jail for it, because people are coming for their resources.
Correct? Yakar? It is literally a version of extortion. I went to bed that night realizing this was one of the most significant moments of my life, that even though this was commonplace in society, it was happening everywhere, and it would have been easy to settle. It just didn’t feel right to me. And I went to bed that night wondering what I should do. And the next morning I woke up and I felt a firm conviction that I needed to stand up for myself.
I needed to take this, the course. And now, two and a half years later, it has finally wrapped up. But it has been devastating. It has been costly, it has been stressful, it has been ruinous in so many ways. Two and a half years later, just to be able to try to stop her from suing him and getting a payday because he wanted to defend himself. Two and a half years later.
Now, obviously, this became public. And this was something that ruined his reputation in whatever respective field that he was in. I’m sure people probably made a whole lot of videos off of him, but two and a half years later, this actually is now coming to a head, and he’s basically breaking down to you how it played out. And I hope that my experience going through this and sharing it with you will somehow make society better.
And so what I’ve done is I’ve written out what I’m going to say today because I’ve carefully thought about what I’m going to say. It’s not something I wanted to just riff on generally as I explain the details. So if you bear with me, I’ll go through the entirety of what has happened over the past two and a half years. My former fiance threatened to make scandalous public accusations about me unless I paid her $9 million in one week.
Two years later, a judge ordered her to pay me a half a million dollars for the fees I had spent defending my innocence. The dark underground accusation economy. Okay, so how did this happen? It started on April 6, 2021. That morning I was telling you about, with a 13 page letter from her attorneys, a quote redacted, is willing to settle all of her claims against Mr. Johnson and his companies for $9 million.
Dot, dot, dot. This was surprising because after this should be so illegal. It should be illegal for you to be able to civilly sue somebody based off of some of the stuff that they’re able to do. So it should be illegal. Why do you deserve money? I don’t understand sometimes why you deserve money for some of the stuff that you say that you deserve money. For over a year of our relationship ending, for the first time ever, she was accusing me of a wide range of, quote, abusive and pervasive behaviors.
Through her attorneys, she threatened to make her allegations public if I didn’t pay her that $9 million in one week receiving this. WTF? What claims? What wrongdoing is this? April Fools? Am I being punked? I am so confused. This is a person whom I’d once had the most beautiful relationship with, and now she was unrecognizable to me. This is the person, again, the person that you lay next to could quite possibly be the most devastating or blissful situation that you’ve ever.
It is the most important business decision that you ever gonna make in your entire life. The person that you remember, Julian Brown. You said you happily divorced. Cool. He wasn’t even married. This is an ex fiance. Fiance. The person that you lay next to, he never got married to her could quite possibly be. And I’ve been saying this over and over and over again, and I’ve been beating it to your head.
The person that you lay next to is quite possibly the most important decision that you’re ever going to make in your entire life. He said that they shared some of the most awesome, blissful moments in their lives together. I double clicked on the email and I started reading the letter, and the contents were shocking. I felt paralyzed. What was even more shocking was that my fiance and I had signed a separation agreement a year earlier when ending our relationship.
We both agree. What the heck is a separation agreement? Now, we’ve gotten to the point in society where if you got resources, or even if you don’t have resources, you now have to sign a separation agreement with an ex fiance. A separation agreement, which means she probably got a bag then too, agreed to walk our separate ways. It was clear that she and her attorneys were gambling that they would put enough pressure on me of my reputation being tarnished publicly that I would pay up and settle privately.
She was emboldened by lawyers blinded by their greed to take advantage of her vulnerabilities and exploit my wealth. After over six months of threatening to destroy me with more serious allegations in her, quote, podcast, a book deal, and a potential tv series, the attorneys who sent the demand letter never filed a complaint or produced a single piece of evidence to support the allegations. Then she got new attorneys.
Seeing that threats alone were insufficient, they filed the case in court and tried to make me look like a monster. I successfully moved part of the case into arbitration, where we had agreed to resolve any disputes. As their legal losses mounted, they became increasingly unhinged in what they were willing to say. Sadly, global media ate it up. On March 31, 2023, after extensive motions, depositions, and discovery, the arbitrator dismissed all her causes of action that had been referred to arbitration and ordered that my accuser pay me a half a million dollars to reimburse attorneys fees I’d been forced to spend defending my innocence.
So let’s break that down for a second though, y’all, because a lot of people are saying, well, if I’m innocent, then I wouldn’t deal with it in the first place. Again, let’s take into consideration of costs. A you might lose. B he just so happened to be a millionaire. C it cost him a half of a million dollars at least. The only people that win here are the lawyers, because there’s no guarantee that he’s actually going to get paid or that she has the resources to even be able to come up with that type of money in the first place.
Just because you get awarded it don’t necessarily mean that you’re going to get it. Over a half of that means you got to have resources to even be able to fight back, even to be able to protect yourself. First, you got to have resources. The ruling and award were confirmed by an active superior court judge on September 29, 2023. After years of litigation, the corroborating evidence my accuser had of any of my accused wrongdoings, nothing.
Not a single thing. In considering my accuser’s attempt to invalidate the separation agreement she had signed, the arbitrator, a well respected retired judge, pointed out that my accuser’s, quote, undisputed conduct and testimony refute her claims. In other words, my accuser’s own evidence contradicted her own story. This is noteworthy, as my accuser’s day job is chief storytelling officer at an implantable medical device company where trust is life and death.
Her job is the chief storyteller for an implant company that basically oversees life and death for whoever it is that they’re implanting, whatever they’re implanting in. That’s crazy. Her job title, her day job is chief storyteller. That’s crazy. And she’s a leader of a company. You can’t make this crap up. This entire thing has been bizarre and surreal. My accuser’s attorney were sanctioned by the judge, a severe reprimand that courts reserve for truly egregious behavior, for making, as the judge wrote, quote, serious allegations factually and legally baseless and frivolous, unquote.
Her lawyers were ordered to pay the court a fine of $2,500. In our settlement discussions, I insisted her attorneys pay some of what she owed for their complicitness. It would have been so easy to relent and quietly make this go away. That’s what nearly everyone does. But I am not guilty, and they gave me no choice but to spend two years litigating to defend my innocence. Giving in and paying up would have been an injustice to me, an injustice to society.
Enabling this twisted practice, this legal fight, was ugly and awful. Honestly, the worst, the most hurtful part of the whole ordeal was that she spoke about our relationship in ways that were unrecognizable to me. For example, when she was sadly diagnosed with a serious health condition, I rearranged my life and worked beside her nonstop to beat it. We flew around the country together, exploring clinical trials and meeting with doctors.
Together, we conducted extensive research into additional therapies and tests. It was our shared, omnipresent focus when tests showed that she was in the clear and it was time to celebrate her new lease on life. Who was the one person in the world that she invited to be by her side at this sacred event? Me. Yeah. The person that funded exponential. For her to travel all around the world in order to make sure that you cured her.
You paid for her to be bossed up out here in these streets and for her to be straight. And the minute that she’s seen you as food and you no longer serve the purpose, she wanted to pay out. She wanted to pay out my unwavering devotion to her well being. The case is now wrapped and behind us. This time with a promise that she won’t sue me again.
A provision the previous agreement didn’t have and which allowed her and her attorneys to weaponize the legal system for over two years. Their strategy was to inflict maximum pain and suffering on me so that I would pay up privately. They miscalculated my tenaciousness and resolve, and their strategy backfired, inflicting collateral damage upon themselves. One of her attorneys is no longer with that firm, and my accuser’s health sadly deteriorated within the blast radius of her own creation.
My accuser has been astonishingly pernicious. Nonetheless, I choose again to support her as she works through her health and well being. And this is why we call it simps. And this, ladies and gentlemen, the love that we as men have for people, humans and society, is one of the reasons why we are called simps. You always ask me, well, Anton, why do you use that word? Or why is society using that word so much? It’s not a talking point.
It’s real. A person that tried to ruin your life publicly and privately and financially, when you supported this person is the very person that you sitting here saying that I still support. This is why you’re called a simp. You spent a half a million dollars in legal fees and two years of your time defending yourself against a frivolous lawsuit and people trying to take your life. And you’re sitting here telling me that you support this person and you’re going to overlook whatever it is that they’re doing to you.
And this is why I say that you are simps. The settlement funds she owes me will be routed to a trust I established for her medical needs. She is the sole beneficiary and is the only person who can access the trust. Oh, my God. I can’t do this. I won’t keep a penny of what she pays as part of the judgment. I know many of you may be thinking that this situation is something that happens to other people and something that won’t happen to you.
The thing that’s relevant here is that every minute of every day, each of us invest our efforts into building our reputations. We show up on time, we’re respectful, we offer sympathy, we help out, we apologize when we’re at fault. We tell the truth. Our reputation is our life currency. Then in one moment, a headline can cause everyone you love and care about to question everything they thought they knew about you.
A lifetime of if you try to ruin me, I’m going to forgive you. But I’m never going to forget. And I’m going to make sure until the day that you die, I’m going to make sure that you’ve held accountable for your actions. Listen, if there’s an inheritance that you earmarked for your children, but you tried to ruin me financially and I’m able to get my lick back, I’m coming for your children’s inheritance.
I’m not him. I’m not him. And maybe he’s blessed, but God ain’t through with me yet. When you try to ruin my life. And I had love for you. Trust and believe. I’m going to get back. I have to hold you accountable. This has nothing to do with not being able to forgive you. But we know that you have to be held accountable because you’re now becoming an example of what other people can leverage the situation to do yourself.
If your kids have anything, I mean, if they got 13 cent and it cost me a dollar to get every $0. 13, I’m coming to get that 13 cent. I’m going to pay a dollar to get that 13 cent. If they got a car, if you got a home, that you leaving it to anything, I’m coming for it. You’re not going to use me, abuse me, and then I then pay for your health.
Pay for your own health. Work is now in question. It’s great entertainment when it’s about someone else, something entirely different when it’s about you. It has been no fun having my name dragged through the mud without the ability to comment, quote, innocent until proven guilty, unquote, is a bedrock of our society. In recent years, it has been weaponized and exploited as guilty until proven innocent, has been de factoed by mob rule, ruining people’s careers, lives and reputations, taking away from those who legitimately need the legal system.
It has created a booming underground economy that has destabilized societal trust by straining our bonds. Our societal fabric is fragile, woven together by a shared trust. I don’t need to hear all of that. I heard everything that I needed to hear once you said that she was actually still supporting her. .
