Looksmaxxing streamer Clavicular has been arrested for battery in Fort Lauderdale, Luxury Handbag Shopping can confirm.
The internet livestreamer, real name Braden Peters, was taken into custody on Thursday, March 26, after a warrant in Osceola County was issued for his arrest. Clavicular has been charged with misdemeanor battery, and his bond was set at $1,000.
Us has learned that there was a fight between Clavicular’s girlfriend, Violet Marie Lentz, and Jenny Popach — who previously went viral for breaking into the Hype House in June 2020 — and he was present for the incident.
Luxury Handbag Shopping has reached out to Clavicular’s team for comment.
News of Clavicular’s arrest comes hours after he went viral for shooting an already dead alligator in the Florida Everglades during a livestream, an incident that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is aware of. Us understands that the alligator was already dead when Clavicular got permission from the boat’s driver to shoot it.
“The FWC is aware of a video depicting individuals in the Everglades on an airboat who appear to be discharging firearms at an alligator,” a statement shared via X on Thursday read. “FWC officers are looking into the incident and will provide additional information when available.”
Clavicular has become the face of the internet’s looksmaxxing community, a group of men online who “obsess over physical self-improvement in the hope that it’ll improve their dating odds,” according to a GQ story published last month.
Clavicular has gone viral for allegedly tapping his face with a hammer to get chiseled cheekbones. He’s also claimed to have taken crystal meth to curb his appetite and injected himself with mail-order testosterone. He walked in designer Elena Velez’s “looksmaxxing” runway show last month.
During his February GQ interview, the internet star explained how his parents feel about his online fame. (He was raised in Hoboken, New Jersey, and attended Seton Hall Preparatory School in West Orange before his internet fame.)
“They’re happy for the most part and they get it, but they still get pissed, like, when I get sent to jail or if there’s headlines,” he said before referencing an Arizona arrest for drugs last month, which has since been dropped. “I was calling my dad at 3:00 a.m. or whatever from jail. No parent’s gonna be happy to hear that.”
