Clavicular Sued for Allegedly Injecting Underage Influencer With ‘Unapproved Drug’

The ‘looksmaxxing’ influencer Clavicular is accused of inflicting physical, emotional, and psychological damage in a lawsuit filed by 18-year-old influencer Alorah Ziva. The 20-year-old streamer, born Braden Peters, is being sued for battery, emotional distress, and fraud.

According to court documents reviewed by Rolling Stone, Peters and Alorah Ziva, real name Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, met through social media last year. The suit claims Peters “wanted her to be the female face for looksmaxxing” and assisted in her rise online by paying her $1,000 to film videos, for which he wrote the scripts.

Peters and Mendoza allegedly met for the first time when he paid for her to take an Uber to his parents’ home in Cape Cod. Once there, she claims, she was given alcohol to the point of being “visibly intoxicated.” “Peters then had sex with Mendoza while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the
point where she was unable to give consent,” the documents read. “That morning, while Mendoza was asleep, she woke up with Peters penetrating her and having sex with her, again without her consent.”

However, the claims of battery and emotional distress are seemingly unrelated to this incident, or the sponsorships Mendoza claims she lost when Peters began to “discredit” her online. The lawsuit specifically highlights a Kick stream hosted by Peters during which he allegedly injected Mendoza with Aqualyx, an “unapproved drug” intended to “melt fat on her cheeks as part of his promise to help her with her online presence through looksmaxxing.”

Mendoza believes the injection contained “methamphetamine or another undisclosed substance.” Peters has previously admitted to using methamphetamine to curb his appetite. Earlier this month, he shared he would be quitting drugs after being hospitalized for a suspected overdose. (He recently stated that he would spend the summer “sobermaxing“.)

The accusations set forth in the lawsuit stem from Peters injecting a minor with substances without disclosing he is not a licensed healthcare provider. Mendoza claims that the injections led to “severe emotional distress, trauma, humiliation, nightmares, fear, panic, and mental anguish.” The lawsuit also notes that the alleged incident was livestreamed on Kick and remains available to the public.

There is a fourth count listed in the lawsuit pertaining to unauthorized publication of name and likeness. Mendoza claims Peters continues to use her “name, portrait, photograph, and/or likeness on and in connection with a monetized livestream and replay content” without her consent.

Mendoza is seeking injunctive relief and damages. “Our client will tell her story through the legal process. In the meantime, we do look forward to hearing from Mr. Peters and his lawyers,” her representative tells Rolling Stone.

Clavicular‘s attorney, Steve Kramer, vehemently denies the claims: “We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters,” he tells Rolling Stone. “These are allegations only and remain unproven. Mr. Peters denies the claims and disputes the characterization of events. He will respond through the appropriate legal channels and intends to vigorously defend himself. We will not comment further at this time.”
