‘Walked naked, talked about erections’: Anti-ageing millionaire Bryan Johnson accused of shocking…

One unusual clause reportedly required employees to acknowledge that Bryan Johnson's minimal clothing and sexual discussions were not “offensive, humiliating, or unprofessional.”

Multimillionare and tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, known for his extreme anti-ageing lifestyle and Netflix documentary Don’t Die: The Man Who Wants to Live Forever, has been accused of inappropriate workplace behaviour. A report by The New York Times (NYT) claims that Johnson often walked around his office wearing little to no clothing (naked) and openly discussed sexual topics, including erections, in front of employees. The report also states that he made his employees, contractors, and even sexual partners sign strict non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). These agreements prevented them from speaking about their experiences at his company, Blueprint.

The NYT report revealed that Johnson’s employment contracts were 20 pages long, with strict confidentiality rules. Employees were required to keep private any details about his personal life, including his home, office, vehicles, and even rented spaces.

One unusual clause reportedly required employees to acknowledge that Johnson’s minimal clothing and sexual discussions were not “offensive, humiliating, or unprofessional.” Due to these agreements, employees felt they had no way to complain about his behavior.

Bryan Johnson’s Anti-Ageing Obsession

Johnson made millions by selling his payments company, Braintree, to PayPal in 2013. Since then, he has poured money into anti-ageing experiments—taking 54 supplements daily, undergoing electric shock therapy, and even receiving blood transfusions from his son.

The NYT report also claims that after selling his company, Johnson divorced his wife, hired sex workers, and experimented with psychedelic drugs like LSD and DMT.

Bryan Johnson’s Response to Allegations

After the NYT article was published, Johnson dismissed the accusations, saying it was an attempt to discredit him. “What was supposed to be a takedown ended up being a profile piece,” he wrote on X.

He claimed the NYT spent a year investigating him, spoke to 30 people (including former employees and his ex-wife), but found little real evidence against him. He also said his ex-wife tried to get $9 million from him and failed.

Regarding the workplace NDAs, Johnson defended them, saying, “I post nude photos online. I track my nighttime erections. My team openly discusses my semen health. We make memes. Instead of surprising people, we disclose this upfront in writing.”

He argued that employees had the choice to work elsewhere if they didn’t agree with the work environment.

Johnson also defended the use of confidentiality agreements, calling them “normal” and necessary to protect his privacy. “I bet you signed one if you work at The New York Times,” he said.

He explained that because he is constantly in the public eye, NDAs help set clear boundaries and prevent misunderstandings.

“These agreements have evolved over time, like everything else I improve,” he said. “They bring clarity so everyone knows where they stand.”

The NYT report has sparked debates about workplace ethics and privacy. While some believe Johnson’s behavior was inappropriate and exploitative, others argue that his transparency allowed employees to make their own choices.
