On Saturday, Rogan apologized for his second controversy in two weeks after a compilation surfaced that showed him using a racial slur in 12 years' worth of episodes. 'Have you actually listened to this man's many racist statements about Black people?' 'You're a hero to many people and using your platform to defend Joe Rogan, a guy that used and laughed about using the N word dozens of times, is a terrible use of your power,' Winslow wrote to Johnson on Twitter Feb.
However, just a few days later, Johnson walked back on his support for Rogan after author Don Winslow criticized him for supporting Rogan, pointing out the podcaster's repeated use of a racial slur in the past.
