Joe Rogan was noticeably taken aback during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience when the topic of conversation took quite an unusual turn. What began as a discussion with American fitness trainer Jillian Michaels about increased cancer rates among young people quickly became focused on a controversial internet personality. But who? Well, it was none other than Bhad Bhabie, aka Danielle Bregoli, who recently had cosmetic surgery after being diagnosed with a rare blood malignancy. But why was the UFC commentator taken aback by her cancer diagnosis?
The UFC commentator’s confusion was not only about the diagnosis but also about the timing and subsequent decisions made by the rapper. “It says she’s currently battling chronic myeloid leukemia… Criticized for getting cosmetic surgery while battling disease—which is pretty crazy. Is that really true?” His producer, Young Jamie, stated that, despite her claim to have leukemia, many people online are skeptical. The problem, according to Joe Rogan, was not just the diagnosis but also the fact that someone claiming to be fighting cancer was having elective surgery and flaunting it online, making it difficult to tell what was real. “She’s a little bit kooky, right?” the JRE host said, attempting to make sense of the situation.
Jillian Michaels, who appeared alongside Rogan on the episode, did not directly defend Bhad Bhabie but made a broader argument. Her concern was more about the alarming increase in cancer diagnoses among young folks than with the internet drama itself. Michaels mentioned her daughter, who watches Bhad Bhabie, and how the news of her cancer had come surprisingly close to home. It was a moment that emphasized her point: these illnesses are no longer distant concerns; they are affecting young faces and younger generations emotionally and psychologically. Michaels backed up her statement with sharp statistics. According to her, cancer diagnoses among persons aged 18 to 49 have increased by about 80% in the last two decades—a figure that is more than a talking point.

This trend, supported by numerous studies, indicates worrying growth in colorectal and ovarian cancer among Millennials and Generation Xers. Whether Bhad Bhabie’s case is real or not, Michaels argued, the cultural conversation it sparked was still worth having. She said, “So, if in fact Bhad Bhabie is being untruthful and deceitful, those statistics are real.” But what about the cure? Well, this wasn’t the first time that cancer was discussed on the podcast, and earlier this year, Hollywood star Mel Gibson claimed on JRE that his friend was cured of stage 4 cancer through two miracle meds.
Mel Gibson makes a massive claim on Joe Rogan’s podcast
The cancer conversation on Joe Rogan’s podcast did not begin with Bhad Bhabie. Mel Gibson shook the JRE studio in January with his eye-opening revelation. Sitting opposite Rogan, Gibson claimed that not one, not two, but three of his pals had overcome stage 4 cancer using a combination of unconventional treatments involving medications meant for parasites. “This stuff works, man,” he claimed, referring to ivermectin and fenbendazole as the magic combination that allegedly saved lives. It was one of those instances when even the JRE host, who had heard everything, leaned in closer.
What made Gibson’s account extra surprising was how casually confident he appeared. He wasn’t selling a conspiracy or offering a “don’t quote me on that” caveat; he truly thought that these meds were the reason his buddies were cancer-free. He also mentioned methylene blue and herbal cures, blending anecdote with conviction. While Joe Rogan did not press the actor too hard, there was an underlying tension in the room—the kind that comes from hearing something both optimistic and very troubling at the same time. Outside the studio, however, the reaction was far from casual. Medical professionals swiftly dismissed Gibson’s statements as misleading, if not dangerous.
While there is some preliminary research on repurposing medications such as fenbendazole and ivermectin, there is no substantial evidence that they cure cancer in humans. Fenbendazole is not even permitted for human use; it is a dog dewormer. And ivermectin? It had its moment in the spotlight during COVID, with terrible consequences when people used it as a cure-all. Mel Gibson brought emotion to the table, not evidence, and for those dealing with illness in real life, that difference matters more than ever. What do you think? Do you believe in his miracle medications? Let us know in the comments.
