“Looksmaxxing” influencer and streamer Clavicular’s PR rep Mitchell Jackson is no longer working with him days after he was hospitalized for a suspected overdose.
“Clavicular’s PR person Mitchell Jackson has quit working with the streamer until he agrees to get treatment for his addiction,” journalist Taylor Lorenz tweeted Thursday, which The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The “looksmaxxing” influencer and online streamer, whose real name is Branden Peters, “thinks he’s invincible and nobody’s invincible,” People magazine reported, citing a source. “If Braden wants to get sober and get healthy, he would be willing to rejoin him because he values him as a person.”
Clavicular was livestreaming on Kick on Tuesday with two other influencers, when it abruptly cut off. In the livestream, the 20-year-old was seen slurring his words, repeatedly saying he’s “fucking destroyed,” needing to sit down and later passing out. Videos later shared on X showed the streamer being carried to a car with an ambulance also arriving to the scene.
On Wednesday, Clavicular spoke out after his hospitalization tweeting alongside a photo of himself bruised, “Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask.”
In a Kick livestream later that day, Clavicular told viewers that he was “good” following the incident, but didn’t want to share further details. “I ain’t going to be doing any more substances for a little while, hopefully forever,” the streamer said.
Despite his overdose and hospitalization, Clavicular attended a club opening Wednesday night.
Clavicular has gained recognition for leading a “looksmaxxing” online community, a trend typically popular among young men who strive to maximize their attractiveness in often extreme ways including bone-smashing using a hammer to enhance facial features and using illegal drugs.
In the days leading up to his overdose, the controversial streamer has been at the center of recent headlines including walking out of a 60 Minutes Australia interview after correspondent Adam Hegarty asked if he identified as an incel and questioned his relationship with Andrew Tate, a “manosphere” influencer who has been accused of human trafficking and rape. Clavicular is also reportedly being investigated by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission for a video appearing to show him shooting an alligator. He was also arrested last month in Florida on misdemeanor battery charges.
