In a scene that could only be described as a dramatic exit worthy of reality TV, Clavicular, the controversial “looksmaxxing” influencer, stormed off the set of a 60 Minutes Australia interview after being grilled about his ties to the incel community. Yes, you heard that right. This guy, whose real name is Braden Peters, is making headlines not just for his questionable beliefs but for his even more questionable social skills.
During the interview, correspondent Adam Hegarty dared to ask Clavicular if he identifies as an incel. The influencer, clearly not in the mood for self-reflection, snapped back, “Do I identify as an incel? I mean, how could you ask me that question as a follow-up after you asked me about my relationships to women? That’s quite literally the worst sequence of questions I think I’ve ever heard.” Talk about a meltdown!
Hegarty, trying to salvage the situation, attempted to rephrase the question, pointing out that the term “looksmaxxing” originated from the incel community. Clavicular, however, was having none of it. “I’m not linked to that group in any way,” he insisted, claiming that looksmaxxing is all about self-improvement. “So that would be kind of one of the goals is to disassociate from being an incel and overcome that. So that doesn’t make sense.”
But wait, it gets better! As the interview progressed, Hegarty pressed Clavicular about his relationship with Andrew Tate, the infamous manosphere influencer currently facing a slew of legal issues. Clavicular, feeling the heat, retorted, “I see you want to make this political. Too bad I didn’t have time to look into, you know, anything about potentially, you know, who your wife cheated with, but don’t try to go down that line of questioning with me.” Spoiler alert: Hegarty isn’t even married!
With tensions rising and insults flying, Clavicular decided he had enough of this little chit-chat. “So I could teach you about looksmaxxing, and then maybe you could switch that up,” he quipped before making a swift exit. Talk about a diva moment!
But the drama doesn’t stop there. Just this week, Clavicular also found himself in hot water for an incident involving a transgender woman during his ongoing 30-day livestream on Kick. While strolling through a mall, he attempted to chat up two women, only to awkwardly backtrack when he realized one of them was trans. As he walked away laughing with his friends, it was unclear whether they were laughing at the situation or just at him. Either way, it’s a bad look.
With his public image taking hit after hit, it seems Clavicular is quickly becoming the poster child for how not to handle fame. Will he ever learn? Only time will tell, but for now, he’s certainly giving us all something to talk about.
