Controversial 'looksmaxxing' influencer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, was arrested in Florida on Thursday night for allegedly instigating a catfight between his girlfriend and another female influencer during an Orlando staycation in February. The fight, which was livestreamed, resulted in Peters facing misdemeanor charges for battery and criminal conspiracy.

Why it matters

This incident highlights the growing concerns around the influence of certain online personalities, particularly those promoting harmful ideologies or behaviors. The arrest of Clavicular raises questions about the responsibility of influencers and the potential consequences of their actions, especially when they involve inciting violence or exploiting others for views.

The details

According to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office, Peters' 24-year-old girlfriend, Violent Lentz, was captured on video fighting with a 19-year-old influencer while the group was staying at an Airbnb. In the viral video, one woman can be heard shouting derogatory language at the other, and the fight quickly escalated into a physical altercation. Peters, who was standing nearby, allegedly 'instigated the fight and posted it on social media to exploit the two women.' The sheriff's office is still looking for Lentz, who faces a misdemeanor battery charge.

  • In February 2026, the incident occurred during an Orlando staycation.
  • On March 30, 2026, Peters was arrested at his home in South Florida and released after an overnight stay at the Broward County Jail.
