Clavicular plans to party less than a day after livestreaming OD
Clavicular, the manosphere influencer leading the βlooksmaxxingβ movement, was rushed to the hospital Tuesday after a suspected overdose in a Miami nightclub.
The controversial internet celebrity, born Braden Eric Peters, was live streaming to his hundreds of thousands of followers from a Miami hot spot Tuesday night when the party took a dark turn. Live stream footage showed Peters hanging with friends outside of the club when he took a swig from a tiny bottle and said he was going to be βdone for,β and βthat was giga,β meaning that whatever he had taken was a large dose.
Inside the club, with cameras still rolling, Peters found a place to sit down with his friends and started to say βOh my Godβ repeatedly and rubbing his eyes. A friend sitting next to him, influencer Androgenic, asked βHow fβ are you?β and then repeatedly offered him an βaddy,β which is short for Adderall, a prescription stimulant used to treat ADHD thatβs often sold as a party drug. Peters started to mumble, sway and close his eyes as the camera panned away.
TMZ obtained the audio from a 911 call alerting emergency services to the possible overdose of a 20-year-old man. Additional videos, taken by bystanders, have since made their way online showing Peters being carried out of the nightclub.
A source close to Peters told the Times that he was hospitalized for the overdose and checked himself out Wednesday morning.
βJust got home, that was brutal,β Peters wrote early Wednesday on X. The influencer, who has said he has autism, also posted a selfie with dried blood on his face. βAll of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isnβt a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.β
On his Kick channel Wednesday, Peters live streamed as he played online slots and said that βit could have been worseβ and he wouldnβt βdo that sβ anymore.β
He also said that in the hospital, doctors asked what he planned to do after he was discharged. βThen I was like, βDude, I got the club grand opening,ββ he said, adding that doctors advised him to get rest and shouldnβt attend. βI was like, dude, gotta be on the grind.β
The influencer, who rose to fame helming the βlooksmaxxingβ movement β a subculture hyperfocused on taking extreme measures to perfect oneβs physical appearance β has been candid about using drugs, from steroids, peptides and testosterone to methamphetamine and Adderall. He has also said he chisels his face by smashing his bones with a hammer.
Androgenic, the influencer videotaped asking Peters if he needed βan addyβ as Peters swayed and lost motor function control, has also been vocal about his own drug use. He recently posted on X that he was on βWalter Whiteβs batchβ when someone snatched his wig off his head and ran away. (Walter White is a fictional chemist and crystal meth manufacturer from the show βBreaking Bad.β)
A source close to Peters told The Times that Androgenic was escorted away from the hospital where Peters was being treated for the overdose Tuesday night.
Androgenic has not responded to The Timesβ request for comment.
Tuesdayβs suspected overdose is the latest in a series of incidents involving the manosphere personality. Last month, Peters was arrested in Florida on suspicion of misdemeanor battery. The Osceola County Sheriffβs Office alleged Peters instigated a fight between his girlfriend, Violet Lentz, 24, and a 19-year-old influencer in February at a short-term rental in Kissimmee, Fla.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission launched a separate investigation into another of Petersβ videos involving an alligator in the Everglades.
In that video, the influencer appears to come across what is seemingly the carcass of an alligator floating in the water and shoots it repeatedly. Peters has not been charged with any crime in that incident.
According to Petersβ Kick live stream, the influencer is headed back out Wednesday night to celebrate Miamiβs Bacara Club streaming launch party.
