Looksmaxxing Influencer Clavicular Arrested, But Not for Viral Alligator Shooting Video
Clavicular, a controversial streamer from the “looksmaxxing” community, is maxxing his looks in a new mug shot (above).
Real name Braden Peters, the 20-year-old Kick influencer was arrested by the Fort Lauderdale Police Department on Thursday night on battery charges. Per jail records, his bond was set at $1,000, while Osceola County Corrections told People they have a warrant for his arrest.
According to USA Today, citing sources close to the streamer, the charges stemmed from an incident from over a month ago. The source claimed a fight broke out between his girlfriend, Violet, and influencer Jenny Popach, who was accused of cheating with Clavicular. They also said Clavicular himself wasn’t directly involved and the incident was caught on camera.
The only other info gleaned from his inmate information? Peters is 6’1” and weighed in at 170 pounds.
Arrest Comes Hours After Alligator Shooting
Clavicular’s arrest comes just hours after he was seen taking an airboat through the Florida Everglades as part of a 30-day marathon stream.
During the tour, his group came across a dead alligator floating in the water, with Peters and a friend both pulling out handguns, before repeatedly firing at the body.
“Yeah, I think it’s dead,” Clavicular then says. It appears his Kick account has since been suspended.
On Thursday evening, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission took to social media to address the incident.
“The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” they said in a statement. “FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available.”
Who Is Clavicular?
The controversial influencer is known for his TikTok videos and streams on Kick. Named after the clavicle, Clavicular is part of the looksmaxxing community, a group whose members go through extreme measures in an attempt to “ascend,” or look more attractive.”
Among the treatments Clavicular has claimed he’s tried? Testosterone injections which he believes have made him infertile, smashing his own face with a hammer to reshape his bones, smoking meth to curb his hunger and placing weights on his penis to provide stronger erections and increase girth.
His behavior outside of his looksmaxxing treatments has also made headlines. In one 2025 incident, he appeared to run over a man with his Cybertruck; he also has a history of using the N-word, but has denied racism is behind its use.
In February 2026, he was arrested at an Arizona nightclub, after he allegedly snuck inside using a fake ID. He was also accused of having prescription drugs on him at the time.
Per TMZ, prosecutors recommended charges including Possession of Dangerous Drugs, Possession of a Forged Instrument, and Minor Using a Fake ID to Enter a Liquor Establishment.
He reacted to the arrest by posting to X, writing, “Getting a 25 thousand dollar bond and 2 felony charges for being inside of a bar is insane. Straight up political persecution.”
Those charges, however, were later dropped.
