It turns out that Bryan Johnson, who has been likened to the narcissistic protagonist in American Psycho for forking out upwards of $2 million a year on making himself look and feel 18 again, is a pretty awful person.
I always say that people with too much money are not to be trusted, and granted, there is enough research to show how wealth reduces compassion.
Watching those SUVs on the road swerve in traffic and bully smaller cars to get in front is proof enough.
With an (almost) billionaire’s brain, Bryan has been behaving badly.
The New York Post revealed that his ex-fiancée has filed a bombshell lawsuit claiming that the Silicon Valley tech bro is a serial cheater who dumped her while she was undergoing breast cancer treatments.
The 45-year-old Peter Pan has become widely known for his expensive as heck anti-ageing regimen of vigorous exercise, super special dieting, and a team of 30 doctors fiddling and frolicking around him while machines keep track of his every muscle move and whim.
There’s even one that counts the number of his nighttime erections.

These might have been caught red flags if his former flame, TV actress Taryn Southern, wasn’t battling breast cancer and then being dumped for being unwell – another major red flag:
In a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in October 2021, Southern claims Johnson was “manipulative” and “controlling” during their three-year relationship, which ended in 2019.
Johnson, in turn, accuses Southern of attempting to extort him by “threaten[ing] to make outlandish and salacious allegations about [him] in public forums unless he paid her exorbitant demands,” according to a separate filing.
Southern alleged in the complaint that the multimillionaire forced her to accept his philandering lifestyle and kicked her out of their LA home after her cancer diagnosis.

She apparently moved in with Johnson four months after they first met in 2016, and then got engaged in March 2018 – all the while, she claims he “pressured her into letting him have sex with other women” despite her “repeated requests for monogamy,” according to the filing.
He seems to have pursued his non-monogamous lifestyle quite unethically though:
She also alleged Johnson had flings with “more than a dozen women” during their relationship, paid for prostitutes and pursued women through “Sugar Daddy” apps, according to the court filing.
He even allegedly forced Southern to “share a full list of her past sexual partners with him and describe the sexual acts that took place,” according to the lawsuit:
Johnson claimed he needed to know her past exploits because “he was concerned about suffering any reputational risk as a result of her having been with or dated other men” — even though he “had been dating — and sleeping with — a myriad of women after his divorce and before meeting her,” according to the court filing.
Man, the double standards here are gross.
The tech dude was also super finicky about messaging, demanding to use Signal exclusively so that messages could be made to disappear and also allegedly had “a number of burner phones”.
It is scary to think about what he might have been saying to all these women in private, without any trace, then.
As soon as Southern got her cancer diagnosis, Johnson is alleged to have told her that she had become a “net negative” and a “bad deal” for him, the lawsuit states.
Southern is seeking unspecified damages from Johnson.
