Controversial Influencer Shares ‘Brutal' Update After Suspected Livestream Overdose
Braden Peters, perhaps better known by his streamer moniker Clavicular, made headlines after seeming to overdose on a livestream.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "looksmaxxing" (more on that in a sec) influencer was hospitalized Tuesday, April 14, after an incident that happened earlier in the day.
While livestreaming on Kick at a mall and restaurant with two other influencers, Peters, 20, began slurring his words and appearing disoriented before his video stream was abruptly cut.
People magazine reported that the Miami-based content creator was repeating phrases multiple times while in conversation with a young woman.
"Holy s--- dude, I'm trying my best, but I'm f---ing destroyed right now," Peters told the woman, repeating the phrase.
Footage uploaded later on shows Peters being carried to an SUV as an ambulance arrives.
THR also shared that Peters was released from the hospital today, with the influencer sharing a "brutal" update with his fans.
"Just got home, that was brutal," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a bloody selfie. "All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn't a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask."
Peters, who walked in New York Fashion Week this year, gained recognition online as a promoter of looksmaxxing, an online trend popular with young men that focuses on maximizing their physical looks in simple and extreme ways, from grooming to enhancing facial features by smashing their bones with a hammer.
This isn't the first time Peters has made headlines in recent weeks.
On April 12, he bailed on a 60 Minutes Australia interview after the interviewer called him an "incel" and probed him about his connections to Andrew Tate, the Miami Herald reported.
Peters is also currently being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for appearing to shoot an alligator.
Last month, the influencer was arrested in Florida for misdemeanor battery charges. Authorities said Peters provoked a fight between two women and exploited them by posting the video footage online, per The New York Times.
