Clavicular accuser drops assault claims from civil suit as Massachusetts rape case proceeds

Mixed · 2Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, an 18-year-old influencer known online as Alorah or Alorah Ziva, has refiled her civil lawsuit against "looksmaxxing" influencer Clavicular, whose real name is Braden Peters, and dropped the sexual assault allegations. 1 2 Left · 1Mendoza filed a second amended civil complaint in Miami-Dade County, Florida, on Thursday, according to NBC News, which also reported that it scaled back the details of the alleged assault. 1 Mixed · 2Her lawyer, Drew Moss, said the claim was dropped "due to the pending criminal charges in Massachusetts" and that "Ms. Mendoza does not want her civil case to interfere with that process." He added: "In light of Mr. Peters' recent posts and other conduct, this matter is more appropriate for the criminal justice system." 1 2

Mixed · 2Peters, 20, was charged last month in Massachusetts with rape, drugging someone for sexual intercourse, and procuring liquor for someone under 21. He has denied the allegations in the Sept. 8 criminal complaint filed in Orleans District Court in Barnstable County. 1 2 Left · 1According to the Chatham Police Department complaint, Mendoza alleged that in May 2025 Peters called her an Uber to his family's Cape Cod house, got her drunk on vodka while they livestreamed on Twitch, and then raped her. A source familiar with the matter told NBC News the charges stem from Mendoza's allegations. 1 Mixed · 2The earlier civil complaint alleged Peters had sex with her after she was too intoxicated to consent and that she woke to find him having sex with her. The new complaint instead says Peters "had sex with Mendoza multiple times while she was intoxicated" and omits the claim that she was asleep. 1 2

Mixed · 2The suit still accuses Peters of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and unauthorized publication of name and likeness. 1 2 Mixed · 2Those claims centre on a November 2025 livestream in Florida, where Mendoza alleges Peters injected her face with Aqualyx, a fat-dissolving compound not approved by the FDA, without her consent, after falsely presenting himself as qualified and concealing the risks. 1 2 Mixed · 2The amended complaint also alleges Peters knew Mendoza was a minor, 17 at the time, and includes screenshots of livestream viewers' comments warning him of her age before the injections. 1 2

Mixed · 2Peters' arraignment, set for Oct. 14, was canceled according to the case docket, and the next hearing appears to be Oct. 22. 1 2 Left · 1Moss did not answer NBC News' questions about the decision or about why an attorney originally on the civil case filed a motion to withdraw on Friday. Peters' spokesperson declined to comment on the new complaint; Peters previously defended himself in posts on X that included a video of Mendoza calling him "super nice." 1
