‘Looksmaxxing’ influencer arrested for allegedly instigating viral catfight with girlfriend, another woman
Controversial “looksmaxxing” influencer Clavicular was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor after allegedly instigating a physical fight between his girlfriend and another female influencer — an incident he livestreamed.
Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, was taken into custody in Florida on Thursday night in connection with a fight authorities say he encouraged during a February stay at an Orlando-area Airbnb. According to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, Peters’ girlfriend, 24-year-old Violent Lentz, was recorded fighting with a 19-year-old influencer while a group was staying at the rental property.
In video from the incident that later circulated online, one woman can be heard shouting insults and profanity during a heated argument. Peters was seen directing the other woman away as the confrontation escalated.
At one point, the second woman told Peters not to touch her, according to the video.
The verbal dispute quickly turned physical. Peters stood nearby while another person operated a livestream camera. During the fight, one woman grabbed the other by the wrists before pulling her hair. The two stumbled into a window and continued struggling as the people around them watched.
Investigators with the sheriff’s office later concluded that Peters had instigated the altercation and shared the footage online to exploit the two women.
Peters, 20, was arrested at his home in South Florida and held overnight at the Broward County Jail before being released. He faces misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery.
When approached by reporters the following day, Peters declined to discuss the case.
“Just woke up, I’m a little tired. Maybe next time,” he said while leaving.
Authorities said they are still searching for Lentz, who also faces a misdemeanor battery charge.
People close to Peters told TMZ that he did not attempt to stop the fight because he is autistic and did not know how to respond. Peters has frequently referred to himself as an “autist” during his livestreams, although there is no indication he has been formally diagnosed.
Only hours before his arrest Thursday, Peters and a friend allegedly fired more than two dozen shots at an alligator believed to be dead during an airboat tour in a Florida swamp. The incident was also livestreamed. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission confirmed it is investigating the shooting. Under Florida law, killing or attempting to harm an alligator without authorization from the commission is illegal.
Peters was also arrested in Scottsdale, Arizona, in February for allegedly entering a bar using a fake ID, just days after livestreaming the fight. Prosecutors in Arizona later declined to pursue charges.
The influencer has built an online following through content focused on extreme “looksmaxxing,” including promoting high supplement intake and obsessive focus on physical appearance. According to Complex, he has also suggested that people use crystal meth to stay thin.
Earlier in 2026, Peters appeared with several controversial far-right internet personalities — including Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate — in a video where the group was seen singing along to Kanye West’s song “Heil Hitler” while traveling to a Miami nightclub.
