What is the Andrew Huberman report about?

Huberman, who has over six million followers on Instagram, is accused of dating five women simultaneously, all of whom connected on a group chat, according to the New York Magazine report.

The US-based influencer who hosts the “Huberman Lab” podcast is accused of infidelity and toxic behaviour by his former partners and acquaintances.

Among the many allegations, he was accused by one of his former girlfriends of telling her that being with her was like “bobbing for apples in feces" and that her decision to have a second child from a previous relationship was a "bad choice".

The woman, who was identified only as Sarah, made several allegations, including details of his anger issues and how she suspected that she contracted HPV (Human papillomavirus), a common sexually transmitted disease, from Huberman. His office told the publication that Huberman has never tested positive for HPV.

A journalist and an anthropologist revealed how his ties with Huberman evolved over the years, with the latter not turning up for camping trips and even cancelling a diving trip with him at the last-minute.
