Clavicular, known online as clavicular and by his given name Braden Eric Peters, walked out of a 60 Minutes Australia interview.
The correspondent Adam Hegarty asked whether he identified as an incel and about his links to Andrew Tate during the segment.
Peters rejected the incel label, calling the sequence of questions "the worst sequence of questions," during the exchange.
He told the program that looksmaxxing is self-improvement aimed at helping people "ascend" and said it was not linked to incel culture.
When Hegarty pressed about Peters's association with Andrew Tate, Peters said "I see you want to make this political" and offered a personal retort.
After Hegarty noted he was not married, Peters removed his microphone and walked off the set, ending the interview.
Background and Controversies
According to his Wikipedia profile and reporting by The New York Times, Peters is a 20-year-old American streamer who styles himself Clavicular.
He rose to prominence online for looksmaxxing content that many outlets have called extreme and controversial.
Reporting in Wired, Slate and Rolling Stone described practices such as bone smashing, anabolic steroid use, and crystal meth to stay lean.
He has also posted livestream clips of injecting others with fat-dissolving peptides, according to news accounts.
A livestream clip circulated showing him strike a man with a Tesla Cybertruck and ask "Hopefully" when checking if the man was dead.
That stream led to a ban from the Kick platform, as reported across several outlets.
Law enforcement reports and news outlets said he was arrested at a Scottsdale bar on suspicion of drug possession and for using a forged instrument.
Those charges were later dropped due to a low likelihood of conviction, and separate Florida battery charges were later reported by local media.
He has associated publicly with figures including Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes, according to news reports and his own appearances.
Video circulated of a group singing along to the song "Heil Hitler" at a Miami Beach nightclub, prompting public condemnation and venue bans.
He has sold access to a subscription course called the "Clavicular System" for fifty dollars per month, according to reporting.
The New York Times reported he earned more than one hundred thousand dollars a month from Kick streams.
Reporting also said he was expelled from college after staff found testosterone hidden in his dorm room.
