New troubling details surface around Clavicular’s arrest as streamer's school past, extreme looksmaxxing and risky behavior raise concern

Braden Peters, known online as Clavicular, is now one of the most talked-about faces on the internet. At just 20, he has built a huge following by showing extreme ways to change his looks. But now, his past and personal life are raising serious concerns. According to reports by Daily Mail, people who knew Braden Peters in school say his behavior today is far more intense than anyone expected. Old photos show a quiet, skinny teenager from New Jersey. Today, Clavicular is known for risky actions like using drugs, extreme body changes, and shocking online stunts.

He openly admits to using testosterone from a young age and trying dangerous methods to change his face and body. His parents have even called him a “drug addict” in private messages he shared online. Recently, his name has also come up in arrests, online backlash, and viral controversies. What started as a journey to improve his looks has now turned into something much deeper, and more troubling.

Braden Peters aka Clavicular’s extreme lifestyle, school past, and rising controversies explained

Former classmates from Seton Hall Preparatory School told Daily Mail that Braden Peters was very different in school. He was quiet, kept to himself, and did not stand out much. One classmate said, “He was a pretty nice and chill guy,” while another described him as “strange” and “very quiet.”

But even back then, there were signs. A former friend, Aryan K, said, “He was really fixated on looks and steroids.” That focus slowly grew stronger over the years.

Braden Peters later got deeply involved in online forums about appearance and masculinity. He followed ideas like “looksmaxxing,” which focuses on improving physical looks at any cost. This included harmful actions like hitting his face to reshape it and taking high doses of testosterone as a teenager.

As an adult, Clavicular turned this lifestyle into content. He now streams for hours daily, sharing his routines, advice, and personal life with followers. Reports say he earns large amounts of money through these streams.

But his rise has come with controversy. He has been removed from clubs, faced legal trouble, and been criticized for his behavior online. On March 26, he was arrested in Florida in connection with a misdemeanor assault case, as confirmed by journalist Taylor Lorenz on X.

His personal life has also raised concern. He has shared that he may be infertile due to long-term testosterone use, though no medical proof has been shown. His dating advice and actions during livestreams have also been widely criticized.

Despite everything, some former classmates say they are shocked by his fame. One said, “We were all so surprised that someone we thought would be a nobody became a somebody.”
