Streamer Braden Peters, better known online as Clavicular, is facing a new lawsuit tied to his looksmaxxing content and alleged conduct involving a teenage influencer.
The civil complaint, filed in Florida and obtained by TMZ, was brought by Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, a rising influencer who says she met Peters when she was 16 years old. Mendoza is suing him for battery, fraud, emotional distress, and unauthorized publication of her name and likeness. She is seeking damages of more than $50,000.
Peters’ legal team has denied the claims, stressing that the allegations have not been proven in court.
What the lawsuit alleges
According to the complaint, Mendoza says Peters wanted her to become the “female face of looksmaxxing,” the online subculture centered on improving physical appearance, often through extreme routines, cosmetic procedures, and livestreamed self-transformation.
The suit claims Mendoza paid Peters $1,000 to help grow her online following.
Mendoza alleges that, during that period, Peters paid for an Uber to take her to his parents’ home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where a party was being held. The complaint says “excessive amounts of alcohol” were being served at the residence and that Mendoza became intoxicated.
She alleges Peters began having sex with her while she was unable to consent, and that he did so again without her consent the following morning while she was waking up.
The Aqualyx livestream claim
The lawsuit also includes allegations tied directly to Clavicular’s online content.
Mendoza claims Peters injected her face with Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving compound, during a livestream. The complaint alleges the injection was broadcast without her permission and that Peters was not licensed to perform the procedure.
Mendoza further alleges that Peters suggested the injection contained meth.
Clavicular has built an audience around extreme looksmaxxing content, with videos focused on changing or enhancing his appearance. That context matters here because the lawsuit is not only about alleged private conduct, but also about what was allegedly turned into content for an audience.
Both legal teams respond
Mendoza’s attorneys told TMZ: “The allegations in the complaint speak for themselves. We look forward to hearing from Mr. Peters’ attorneys.”
Steve Kramer, a legal representative for Peters, said his client denies the allegations and will fight the case through the courts.
“We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters. These are allegations only and remain unproven. Mr. Peters denies the claims and disputes the characterization of events. He will respond through the appropriate legal channels and intends to vigorously defend himself. We will not comment further at this time,” Kramer said.
Another legal issue for Peters
The lawsuit follows another recent legal matter involving Peters. In March, he was arrested on a misdemeanor assault charge.
Around the same time, he was also investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission after shooting the corpse of a dead alligator during a livestream.
The new case now puts Peters’ offline behavior, online brand, and content practices under sharper legal scrutiny. For a creator whose platform is built on pushing limits, the question is now being handled in a much less flexible venue: court.
