Braden Peters, better known by his controversial “looksmaxxing” persona, Clavicular, was arrested in Florida on Thursday night and charged with misdemeanor battery and criminal conspiracy after allegedly instigating a violent altercation between his girlfriend and another female influencer.
The incident, which took place during a staycation at an Airbnb in Orlando, was livestreamed by Peters.
The Incident and Livestreamed Fight
The fight unfolded in February when Peters’ girlfriend, Violent Lentz, 24, engaged in a physical altercation with a 19-year-old influencer. The two women were reportedly involved in a heated verbal exchange, with derogatory comments being shouted, including insults about their appearances and actions.
Peters, who was present during the altercation, allegedly encouraged the fight and filmed the confrontation as it escalated into a physical brawl.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office determined that Peters “instigated the fight and posted it on social media to exploit the two women.”
The altercation was captured on video, showing one woman restraining the other before the fight turned into a chaotic, physical struggle, with both women scratching and tugging at each other’s hair while men watched. Peters reportedly stood aside, while another witness operated the livestream camera.
Charges and Arrest
Peters, 20, was arrested at his South Florida home and spent the night at Broward County Jail before being released. He faces two misdemeanor charges: battery and criminal conspiracy to commit battery.
When approached by reporters the following day, Peters declined to comment on his arrest, casually saying, “Just woke up, I’m a little tired. Maybe next time.”
Lentz, who is also facing a misdemeanor battery charge, has yet to be located by authorities.
Clavicular’s Controversial Behavior
Peters is no stranger to controversy. He has been a notorious figure in the “looksmaxxing” community, focusing heavily on improving his physical appearance, including promoting extreme supplement intake and even suggesting using crystal meth to stay thin, according to Complex.
He has frequently referred to himself as an “autist” during his livestreams but has never been officially diagnosed with autism.
Other Incidents and Arrests
Just hours before his arrest, Peters was involved in another controversial incident, allegedly firing more than two dozen shots at an alligator presumed to be dead during an airboat tour in a Florida swamp.
This was also livestreamed on his channel. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is investigating the shooting, as harming or killing an alligator without permission is illegal in Florida.
Additionally, Peters was arrested earlier in February in Scottsdale, Arizona, for allegedly using a fake ID to enter a bar. Arizona prosecutors declined to press charges in that case.
Influence and Reputation
Known for his inflammatory content and association with far-right figures, Peters has garnered attention for his problematic behavior. In early 2026, he was seen alongside notorious figures like Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate, singing along to Kanye West’s controversial “Heil Hitler” anthem.
His actions and affiliations have drawn significant backlash, further cementing his reputation as a divisive influencer.
