‘Looksmaxxing’ streamer Clavicular sued for battery, fraud by teen influencer in Miami

Controversial “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular is being sued in Miami-Dade by a teen influencer who’s accusing him of battery.

Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, known online as Alorah or Alorah Ziva, is suing the streamer, whose real name is Braden Eric Peters.

The lawsuit, filed in Miami-Dade on Tuesday, alleges battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud, and unauthorized publication of name and likeness by Peters.

The suit claims that in 2025, when she was 16, Mendoza was paid $1,000 by Peters to film videos, and was told by Peters that he wanted her to be the “female face for looksmaxxing.”

Peters assisted her with creating videos and writing scripts, and she posted four videos for him, the lawsuit claims.

At one point, when Mendoza was in Massachusetts, Peters paid for an Uber to bring her to Cape Cod to his parents’ home, where excessive amounts of alcohol were being served, the lawsuit said.

The suit claims Peters served Mendoza vodka until she became drunk then had sex with her but she was intoxicated “to the point where she was unable to give consent.”

After having sex with Mendoza, Peters sent her off in an Uber and he didn’t see her for another six months, the suit claims.

In November 2025, Mendoza went out with a group of friends in Miami for a networking event and ran into Peters, who commented how her physical appearance had improved through looksmaxxing and invited Mendoza and her friends back to his place for a streaming session, the lawsuit said.

They got in Peters’ Cybertruck believing they were going somewhere nearby but he started driving to Delray Beach, and along the way, they stopped at a charging station where Peters and his friends snorted a white powdery substance, which they offered to Mendoza but she refused, the suit claims.

Once they arrived at their destination, Peters tried to kiss and seduce Mendoza, but she “rejected those overtures,” before he took her to a bedroom where they began livestreaming, the suit said.

During the stream Peters said he wanted to inject her with Aqualyx to melt fat on her cheeks, and he injected her multiple times in both cheeks despite not being licensed to perform injections, the suit said.

The lawsuit said Peters didn’t tell Mendoza Aqualyx wasn’t approved by the FDA for injectable fat-dissolving use, and during the video Peters “stated or suggested that methamphetamine had been added to the injection mixture.”

After that encounter, Peters and Mendoza saw each other a handful of other times, including instances where Peters paid bouncers to let Mendoza into bars and purchased alcohol for her, the lawsuit claims.

In early 2026, Mendoza signed a contract paying her $15,000 a month as a social media promoter for an online trading platform, and a short time later, Peters began a campaign to discredit Mendoza and she lost her sponsorships, the lawsuit said.

Mendoza, who is now 18, is seeking damages in excess of $50,000.

NBC6 reached out to Peters’ attorney, Steve Kramer, for a statement and was waiting to hear back. Kramer released a statement to other media outlets earlier Wednesday.

“We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters. These are allegations only and remain unproven,” the statement read. “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.”

The 20-year-old Clavicular is known online for “looksmaxxing,” the belief that appearance can be deliberately optimized through fitness, grooming and style. The influencer has been known to take this to the extreme, with “bone smashing,” or using a hammer to intentionally break facial bones so they grow back stronger or looking better.

A well-known influencer known as “Clavicular” leaves jail after getting arrested in Fort Lauderdale on a warrant for battery. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating a separate incident in the Everglades that appears to involve Peters.

Clavicular was arrested in Fort Lauderdale last month on battery charges out of Florida, after a 19-year-old woman accused a 24-year-old woman of battering her in a home that was rented by the influencer.

Earlier this month, he was hospitalized after a suspected overdose in Miami, a representative said.
