Clavicular Faces Lawsuit After Alleged Face Injection Incident Involving Influencer
Controversial streamer Clavicular faces accusations of fraud, battery, and emotional distress in a recent lawsuit from influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza. (Clavicular’s attorney has denied these allegations.)
As revealed in court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, April 29, Mendoza claims that Clavicular (real name Braden Peters) sought to position her as the female spokesperson for “looksmaxxing,” a self-improvement approach aimed at enhancing physical appearance.
Mendoza stated they first crossed paths when she was just 16, believing that Clavicular could aid her social media career. However, things took a troubling turn when Clavicular allegedly engaged in sexual acts with Mendoza while she was “knowingly intoxicated to the extent that she could not provide consent,” according to court documents.
“At that time, Mendoza was unaware of Peters’ claims about ‘slaying’ girls and engaging in one-night stands,” the documents noted. “Peters often refers to this as a ‘pump and dump.’”
Further allegations from Mendoza’s attorneys indicated that Clavicular intended to administer an injection to her face for the purpose of “melting fat on her cheeks” as part of his pledge to enhance her online persona through ‘looksmaxxing.’ During this process, Peters either stated or implied he was operating with medical authority, describing himself as a doctor or suggesting he was qualified for the injection.
Mendoza’s legal team asserted that Clavicular lacked the authorization to inject her with any drug, medication, or fat-dissolving substance in November 2025. This alleged incident was also streamed live, according to court documents.
“Peters deliberately injected Mendoza with an unapproved drug without her consent, resulting in physical and psychological harm to her,” the documents alleged. “Under Florida law, these actions constitute battery.”
Mendoza’s attorneys maintained that their client experienced significant emotional turmoil, trauma, embarrassment, nightmares, fear, panic, and mental anguish.
In response, Clavicular’s attorney, Steve Kramer, stated to Us, “We acknowledge the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters. These remain allegations and are unproven. Mr. Peters denies these claims and refutes the characterization of the events. He intends to respond through appropriate legal channels and will vigorously defend himself. We will refrain from further comment at this time.” (TMZ first reported the lawsuit.)
Clavicular has garnered a following on Kick and TikTok for his content related to “looksmaxxing.”
As detailed by the BBC, the aim of looksmaxxing is to become the most attractive version of oneself according to set criteria, emphasizing jawlines, eyes, and physique.
Clavicular has experienced both highs and lows since gaining fame. Us reported on April 14 that the streamer had “suffered a suspected overdose” during a livestream, resulting in a brief hospitalization.
“Just got home, that was brutal,” he tweeted on April 15. “All these substances are merely a crutch to feel neurotypical in public, but that’s not a real solution. The worst part of last night was my face dropping from the life support mask.”
Additionally, two of his YouTube channels were shut down this month due to “severe or repeated violations” of the platform’s community guidelines.
