Why Have Clavicular YouTube Channels Been Banned?

Looksmaxxing influencer Clavicular confirmed that two of his YouTube channels have been shut down.
“Very sad news this morning. My YouTube channels @LiveWithClav & @ ClavLooksmax were terminated this morning without warning or explanation,” the 20-year-old netizen wrote on X on Thursday, April 23.
Emails from YouTube shared with Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, said the channels were removed due to “severe or repeated violations” of the website’s Community Guidelines.
“My team and I have worked hard to make sure we follow YouTube’s TOS carefully, blurring out everything that is wrong [sic] language and sensitive topics,” Clavicular’s social media post continued, tagging YouTube. “Please help restore my accounts?”
YouTube also explained their thinking in a statement The Hollywood Reporter.
“We terminated the first channel of the creators in November 2025,” said the spokesperson of the platform. “We removed these additional channels under our terms of service, which prohibits creating new channels after termination.”
Clavicular is a controversial figure in the lookmaxxing community, which includes men who are “obsessed with physical enhancement in the hopes that it will improve their chances of dating,” according to the report. GQ story published earlier this year.
This internet star has found himself making a lot of headlines lately. His YouTube confrontation is coming soon Us Weekly confirmed that he was hospitalized on April 14 following allegations that he had overdosed during his discharge. (He went out again 60 Minutes interview earlier this month.)
Fans have since shared clips from the broadcast, which showed Clavicular alongside a group of friends. Clavicular said he was “shot” at one point before being given a glass of water. A separate clip then shows him fainting and resting his head on a friend’s shoulder before the broadcast cuts out.
“I just got home, that was brutal,” the promoter wrote in a statement via X on April 15, referring to the previous night’s events. “All of these things are trying to feel more vulnerable while you’re in public, but that’s obviously not the real solution.”
Clavicular posted a selfie alongside his statement. His face was covered in blood.
His statement concluded: “The worst part of the night was my face coming off the life support mask.”
