Joe Rogan has yet again been criticised as a video of a discussion about sexual coercion has resurfaced.
The podcast host has recently come under fire for saying the N-word 24 times on a viral compilation clip of his podcasts, for which he has since apologised.
He's also been slammed for spreading misinformation with regards to the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to Neil Young requesting for his music to be removed from the Spotify platform where Rogan uploads his podcasts.

The 54-year-old has now faced further backlash for a clip dating back to 2011, where he laughs along with guest Joey Diaz who boasts about coercing women into performing sex acts.
As shown in the video, taken from a decade-old The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Diaz said: "You think I'm f****** kidding? Yeah, you've got to suck my d*** to get up in the [Comedy Store's] Belly Room.
"I'll make a call for you. That's the f****** gateway into coming to Hollywood, everybody knows that."

Rogan asked: "How many girls did you have do that?"
To which Diaz responded: "Oh, 20 of them."
Rogan then clapped his hands together after rolling his head back laughing.
Diaz went on to say: "Little blonde open mic chick…that used to come up to the Comedy Store…and just take me up to the Belly Room and suck my d***, then go do her set.

"She was tremendous.
"She finally freaked out. When she got to Hollywood, bro, she was beautiful, and when she left her nails were dirty.
"A year later she wrote me a letter to the Comedy Store [saying], 'You c***sucker, you broke me."

Gun violence prevention activist Shannon Watts shared the clip on Twitter, writing: "Can we also talk about the misogyny?

"Here Joe Rogan laughs as his guest talks about forcing women to perform oral sex on him in order to get stage time at his comedy club."
Another user said: "Joe Rogan laughing hysterically as Joey Diaz talks about how he coerced young women into sex in exchange for stage time at a comedy club, ruining one girls life should just about do it but it won’t - Spotify blindly walked into this mess."
A third said: "Oh my god. This is repulsive."
A couple days ago (5 February) Rogan issued an apology on social media for repeatedly using the N-word in his podcasts.

The podcast host said: "I'm making this video to talk about the most regretful and shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly.
"There's a video that's out, that's a compilation of me saying the N-word. It's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smushed together.
"And it looks f***ing horrible, even to me."
He added: "I know that to most people, there's no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, never mind publicly on a podcast. And I agree with that.
"Now, I haven't said it in years, but for a long time, when I would bring that word up, like, if it would come up in conversation and instead of saying the N-word, I would just say the word - I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing."
