Core Event: Amended Civil Complaint Removes Sexual-Assault Allegations
On Thursday, October 8, Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza filed a second-amended civil complaint in Miami-Dade County that drops the sexual-assault claims she previously made against Braden Peters, the 20-year-old “looksmaxxing” influencer known online as Clavicular. The revised filing retains accusations of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and unauthorized use of her name and likeness. It also alleges that Peters injected her with Aqualyx—a non-FDA-approved fat-dissolving compound—without proper consent while she was a minor.
Background & Context: Prior Allegations and Criminal Charges
Mendoza, then 17, first alleged that Peters called an Uber to his parents’ Cape Cod home in May 2025, served her vodka during a livestream, and engaged in non-consensual sex while she was intoxicated. The criminal complaint filed by the Chatham Police Department in September 2025 charged Peters with rape, drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and procuring liquor for a person under 21. In addition to the alleged May 2025 incident, Mendoza claimed that during a November 2025 livestream in Delray Beach, Florida, Peters injected her with Aqualyx, misrepresenting the substance and ignoring her minor status.
Peters has publicly denied the criminal allegations and, after the charges were reported, posted a video in which Mendoza called him “super nice.” He also shared a purported thank-you letter from Mendoza and criticized the lawsuit on the platform X.

Peters’ spokesperson declined to comment on the latest civil filing. Peters’ lawyer, Steve Kramer, characterized the allegations as unproven, affirmed Peters’ denial of the claims, and indicated that Peters would defend himself through appropriate legal channels.
