Controversial influencer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters, walked out of a 60 Minutes Australia interview after being questioned about his connection to Andrew Tate. The 20-year-old social media star, known for promoting 'looksmaxxing' theory, grew agitated when journalist Adam Hegarty asked why he spends time with controversial figures.
During the interview, Peters warned Hegarty not to pursue a political line of questioning, referencing a previous interview with Piers Morgan where he insulted Morgan's wife. When Hegarty said he was not married, Peters retorted, 'I could teach you about looksmaxxing then,' before getting up and leaving.
Peters popularises 'looksmaxxing', the theory that maximising physical appearance through aggressive methods leads to success with women. He has admitted to using testosterone replacement therapy and other substances to 'ascend'. He denies links to incel communities, calling looksmaxxing a form of self-improvement.
Peters was arrested last month in Florida on a battery charge and released on bail. The arrest came a day after an investigation was launched into a video showing him shooting at a floating reptile. He is scheduled to face charges in Central Florida.
