20-year-old streamer Braden ‘Clavicular’ Peters has reportedly been admitted to hospital after a suspected overdose that occurred during a livestream.
Peters is widely known online as a looksmaxxing influencer — a trend focused on trying to enhance physical appearance.
He has built a reputation for taking drastic measures in pursuit of that goal, with reports claiming he has used steroids, gone through surgical procedures, and even struck his own jaw with a hammer in an attempt to alter his lower face.
Critics have also linked parts of the looksmaxxing scene to corners of the internet sometimes associated with the wider “manosphere.”
Peters typically broadcasts on Kick, where he has more than 305,000 followers, but his stream on April 14 was said to have ended suddenly.
After viewers raised concerns, Peters was later seen being carried by several people toward a black vehicle as an ambulance arrived, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
It has since been reported that the 20-year-old was hospitalized in Miami, Florida, on Monday evening following a suspected overdose.
A source told the outlet that Peters is currently in a “stable condition.”
TMZ also published 911 audio in which a dispatcher refers to a “20-year-old male overdose” at around 5:46pm local time. At this time, it has not been confirmed what substance may have been involved.
The health scare comes shortly after 60 Minutes Australia aired an interview with Peters that ended abruptly when he left mid-conversation.
“How could you ask me that question after you asked me about my relationships to women?”
“That’s quite literally is the worst sequence of questions I think I’ve ever heard.”
During the segment, he was also questioned about Andrew Tate, which appeared to escalate the tension.
“You’ve shared company with Andrew Tate and other controversial figures, why do you spend time with people like that?”
“Don’t try to go down that line of questioning,”
“I see you want to make this political, you want to end [this interview] and talk about politics.”
Peters then suggested the interviewer’s question was motivated by personal circumstances involving the journalist’s wife, before the interviewer clarified he is not married.
“I could teach you about looksmaxxing which could switch that up,”
Moments later, Peters thanked him for the interview, stood up, and walked away as the conversation ended.
