“Looksmaxxing” influencer and streamer Clavicular is speaking out after being hospitalized on Tuesday for a suspected overdose.
“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.
The “looksmaxxing” influencer and online streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, was taken to the hospital on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the influencer was livestreaming on Kick while he was at a mall and restaurant with two other influencers, when it abruptly cut off, sparking concern among fans. In the livestream, the 20-year-old influencer was seen slurring his words, repeatedly saying he’s “fucking destroyed,” needing to sit down and later passing out. Video later shared on X showed the streamer being carried by several people to a black car as an ambulance arrived at the scene.
Influencer Androgenic, who was with Clavicular at the time of the incident, addressed the situation on X writing, “I hadn’t seen him in this state before and he went from speaking to being fairly unresponsive in mere seconds. Within a minute we all realized the situation, turned the stream off, picked him up and rushed him to the hospital.”
Clavicular has gained recognition for promoting extreme “looksmaxxing” due to a self-obsession with being aesthetically pleasing. “Looksmaxxing” is known as an online trend, popular among young men, that focuses on maximizing physical attractiveness. The strive to maximize their attractiveness is done in often extreme ways that ranges from healthy grooming to dangerous practices, such as bone-smashing using a hammer to enhance facial features, which Clavicular has advocated.
When one follower replied to the content creator’s recent message, “Just autistmaxx in public, who gives af what others think,” he responded, “If i wasnt a livestreamer id agree with you.”
The controversial streamer’s hospitalization follows his recent headlines after 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 is also 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. The New York Times reported that the influencer provoked a fight between two women and exploited them by posting it online.
