Controversial 'looksmaxxing' influencer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, was rushed to hospital after a suspected overdose during a livestream. The 20-year-old, based in Miami, was filming with two other influencers when the broadcast abruptly ended.
During the stream, Peters appeared disoriented and slurred his words while speaking to a young woman. He said, 'Holy s**t dude, I'm trying my best, but I'm f**king destroyed right now,' repeating the phrase several times. Later, while in a bar, fellow influencer Androgenic asked him, 'When did you last take blue?' and whether he wanted an 'addy', seemingly referring to Adderall, a prescription ADHD medication. Moments later, the livestream ended without explanation.
In a post on X, Androgenic said the situation escalated rapidly. 'I hadn't seen him in this state before and he went from speaking to being fairly unresponsive in mere seconds,' he wrote. 'Within a minute we all realised the situation, turned the stream off, picked him up and rushed him to the hospital.' Influencer Woah Vicky shared a message of support, writing: 'Praying for clav.'
The incident comes days after Peters appeared on 60 Minutes Australia, where he discussed his role in the looksmaxxing community, an online subculture focused on extreme methods of improving physical appearance. During the interview, he became visibly irritated when questioned about his associations with controversial figures, including Andrew Tate.
Peters has attracted attention for promoting the movement, which encourages young men to alter their appearance in pursuit of status and attraction. He has previously claimed to have used extreme measures including drug use and hormone injections. Prior to his medical emergency, Peters was arrested last month on battery charges by the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.
