Anti-aging fanatic Bryan Johnson reportedly used NDAs to silence staff about bizarre behavior at work:

A wealthy anti-aging enthusiast named Bryan Johnson reportedly used nondisclosure agreements to prevent employees from speaking out about his unusual behavior, such as walking around naked in the office and discussing intimate details like his “sexual activities and erections.”

Johnson allegedly spends $2 million per year on an extravagant health regimen that includes 54 pills and supplements daily, a device to track nighttime erections, shock therapy, and even blood transfusions from his teenage son, claiming that it has reversed his age by 5.1 years.

His extreme health pursuits have led him to establish a following for his “Don’t Die” philosophy, which paved the way for the launch of his health startup Blueprint and a prominent role in a recent Netflix documentary.

Behind the scenes, Johnson allegedly pressured employees, vendors, contract workers, and even sexual partners to sign strict confidentiality agreements at his startup Blueprint, as reported by The New York Times.

After amassing wealth from selling his payments company Braintree to PayPal in 2013, Johnson reportedly engaged in questionable activities, including hiring prostitutes, using psychedelics like DMT, and experimenting with acid. He even tattooed the chemical structure of DMT on his arm.

In 2016, he founded Kernel, a brain technology startup, turning down an opportunity to collaborate with Elon Musk on a similar venture that later became Neuralink.

Johnson’s focus on his public image reportedly intensified as Musk’s fame grew, leading him to enforce extensive NDAs on those associated with him.

Employees were allegedly required to sign multiple documents, including an “opt-in” agreement acknowledging Johnson’s unconventional behavior and their comfort level with his actions.

Former employees described instances of Johnson walking around the office scantily clad and making inappropriate advances towards female staff, with many feeling unable to voice their concerns due to the NDAs.

Several individuals, including Johnson’s former fiancée, filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board regarding the restrictive confidentiality agreements.

Legal disputes arose, with Johnson countersuing for legal fees and one former employee being ordered to pay him over $584,000 after a failed lawsuit.

Further controversies emerged regarding Johnson’s health claims, with allegations of cherry-picked statistics and conflicting results from studies on his biological age.

Despite facing criticism, Johnson maintained his stance and even created a trust for payments from his accusers, although no funds were reportedly deposited into it.

In February, Johnson preemptively addressed an upcoming exposé by The New York Times, refuting past allegations and defending his actions.
