“Looksmaxxing” influencer and streamer Clavicular was hospitalized in “stable condition” after suffering a suspected overdose Tuesday night, a source confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, was released from the hospital on Wednesday.
“Just got home, that was brutal. 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,” he tweeted alongside a photo of himself.
Earlier in the day, Clavicular was livestreaming on Kick when it abruptly cut off, sparking concern among fans. Video was later shared on X of the streamer being carried by several people to a black car as an ambulance arrived at the scene.
THR has also reached out to the Miami Police Department and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department for more information.
Clavicular gained recognition for his self-obsession with being aesthetically pleasing and for promoting extreme “looksmaxxing” — an online trend, popular among young men, focused on maximizing physical attractiveness. The trend ranges from healthy grooming to dangerous practices, such as bone-smashing using a hammer to enhance facial features, which Clavicular has advocated.
Earlier this week, the controversial streamer made headlines when he walked out of a 60 Minutes Australia interview after correspondent Adam Hegarty asked him if he identifies as an incel and about his connection to Andrew Tate. Clavicular clearly got defensive with the line of questioning, and in response, tried to suggest the interviewer was a cuckold.
Clavicular has also found himself in some legal trouble, as he’s reportedly being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a video appearing to show him shooting an alligator. He was also arrested last month in Florida on misdemeanor battery charges after authorities issued a warrant for his arrest. They said the influencer provoked the fight between two women and exploited them by posting it online, The New York Times reported.
April 15, 8:23 a.m. This story has been updated with the news that Clavicular is out of the hospital.
