Joe Rogan, 54, garnered controversy in recent times after a December 31 podcast of The Joe Rogan Experience in which he had a chat with Dr. Robert Malone, an anti-vaccine proponent who was previously banned from Twitter over the spread of COVID misinformation.
Sharon Stone criticised Joe Rogan amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the spread of COVID-19 misinformation, and Spotify’s decision to add a warning to all podcasts on its platform discussing the ongoing virus. Saying Joe Rogan ‘should put a disclaimer that he’s an a**hole’ on his podcast.
Joe Rogan however said he would ‘try harder to get people with differing opinions’ on the topic in the future.
