Bombshell lawsuit as teen accuses ‘looksmaxxing’ influencer Clavicular of battery and having intercourse along with her with out consent

‘Looksmaxxing’ influencer Clavicular is being sued for alleged emotional distress and battery, including injecting a teenager with an ‘unapproved drug’ and having sex with her without her consent, according to a civil complaint.

Clavicular, a 20-year-old influencer from New Jersey whose real name is Braden Peters, has been accused of inflicting physical, emotional, and psychological damage in a lawsuit filed by 18-year-old influencer Alorah Ziva, according to the civil complaint filed on April 28 in Miami-Dade county.

According to the civil complaint, which was reviewed by Daily Mail, Ziva, whose real name is Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, alleges she met Peters through social media last year. The suit claims Peters ‘wanted her to be the female face for “looksmaxxing,”‘ a social media trend focused on maximizing physical attractiveness through extreme self-improvement methods.

Peters has drawn controversy for methods such as hitting himself in the face with a hammer to make his bones grow back sharper and taking small amounts of methamphetamine to suppress his appetite.

The lawsuit claims that after the two met for the first time, Mendoza was given alcohol until she appeared ‘visibly intoxicated.’

‘Peters then had sex with Mendoza while she was knowingly intoxicated, to the point where she was unable to give consent,’ the civil complaint states. ‘That morning, while Mendoza was asleep, she woke up with Peters penetrating her and having sex with her, again without her consent.’

The civil complaint also claims that during a livestream hosted by Peters a few months later, 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.’

The lawsuit states Mendoza believes the injection contained ‘methamphetamine or another undisclosed substance.’

The Daily Mail has reached out to Peters’ lawyer for comment. 

Aqualyx is an injection made from the deoxycholate family of acids, which dissolve fat in the body. Plastic surgeons may inject the drug into the back, chin, hips, knees, stomach or thighs for contouring. 

It’s meant to provide a non-invasive alternative to liposuction, a surgical procedure used to remove stubborn fat, but it’s not approved by the FDA. 

The agency said in 2023 that Aqualyx can contain phosphatidylcholine (PPC) and sodium deoxycholate (DC), which ‘pose a significant safety risk because they are unapproved, which means the FDA has not evaluated their safety or effectiveness.’

The FDA at the time said it has received reports about consumers experiencing adverse reactions such as permanent scars, infections, skin deformities, cysts, and deep, painful knots after receiving unapproved fat-dissolving injections like Aqualyx. 

‘Some consumers received the injections at clinics or med spas by personnel who might not have been properly licensed to give the injections,’ the agency said.

‘In addition, some consumers who reported adverse reactions purchased the unapproved fat-dissolving drugs online and injected the drugs themselves.’

‘Safe and effective use of these products depend on the correct number and location of injections, proper needle placement, and proper administration technique. Consumers should not purchase ingredients for unapproved fat-dissolving injections or inject the drugs themselves.’

Peters (pictured above) posted on X on Wednesday: ‘The consistent theme of girls trying to use me for money is brutal for a young guy trying to navigate a complex society. Hopefully I can find a good girl whos [sic] intent is to not to screw me over and take my money’

The lawsuit states Mendoza was younger than 18 and a minor under Florida law during the events outlined in the complaint.

According to the civil complaint, Mendoza claims that the injections led to ‘severe emotional distress, trauma, humiliation, nightmares, fear, panic, and mental anguish.’ 

Additionally, the lawsuit notes that the alleged incident was livestreamed on the platform Kick and remains available to the public. 

The civil complaint says that Mendoza is suing Peters for battery, fraud and emotional distress and is seeking at least $50,000 in damages. 

Peters has not directly denied the allegations, but in a post on X Wednesday, he wrote: ‘The consistent theme of girls trying to use me for money is brutal for a young guy trying to navigate a complex society. Hopefully I can find a good girl whos [sic] intent is to not to screw me over and take my money.’

The Daily Mail has not yet received comment from Peters’ attorney, Steve Kramer. Kramer told Rolling Stone: ‘We are aware of the complaint recently filed against Mr. Peters.

‘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.’
