Clavicular's PR rep quits days after streamer's hospitalization due to an overdose
The publicist of "looksmaxxing" influencer Clavicular has reportedly quit because the influencer "will not take his health seriously."
PEOPLE Magazine reported that Mitchell Jackson has stopped working with the 20-year-old streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, and will only return once he agrees to seek treatment for his addiction.
“Mitchell quit because Braden will not take his health seriously," a source told the outlet.
“Braden thinks he’s invincible and nobody's invincible,” the source added. “If Braden wants to get sober and get healthy, he would be willing to rejoin him because he values him as a person.”
As seen in his Instagram post, Peters recently attended a bar opening event in Miami just a few days after he was rushed to the hospital following an overdose.
Peters was taken to the emergency room for a suspected overdose on Tuesday, April 14. According to a 911 call obtained by TMZ, a Miami-Dade EMS dispatcher is heard reporting a “20-year-old male overdose” at around 5:46 p.m. local time.
Footage from the livestream uploaded on X showed Peters with two other influencers while filming around a mall in Miami, Florida. He was seen talking to random people in the area, appearing to be under the influence and slurring his speech.
On Wednesday, Clavicular shared an update on his condition. “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," he wrote, sharing a selfie of his bruised face.
"The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask," he added.
Peters is known online for promoting “looksmaxxing,” a trend encouraging young men to improve their looks to attract women and gain status. Per CNN, he claimed he has gone to extreme measures himself, including breaking facial bones to change his appearance, using testosterone from age 14, and taking meth to stay thin.
He has previously found himself in multiple instances of legal trouble. In March, he was arrested on a battery charge for allegedly instigating a fight between two women and then posting a video of it on social media. He was also under investigation after firing multiple shots at an alligator in the water, which TMZ reported was already dead before Peter's shots.
Per the Los Angeles Times, he was likewise arrested in February in Scottsdale, Arizona, on charges of forgery and possession of prescription-only pills. Local authorities, however, dropped the charges, citing “no reasonable likelihood of conviction."
