Clavicular’s dispute with Hulu has taken an unexpected turn, as the project once associated with the looksmaxxing influencer is being revealed as something much broader and darker.
The 20-year-old streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, had threatened legal action after filmmakers captured footage of him backstage at New York Fashion Week. But reports have revealed that the resulting Hulu project, “Get Huge: Looksmaxxing to Death,” was never intended to center on him.
Instead, the three-part true crime series examines looksmaxxing, experimental biohacking and deaths linked to figures in that orbit.
Clavicular Was Never The Real Focus Of Hulu’s Documentary
According to The Hollywood Reporter “Get Huge: Looksmaxxing to Death” debuts November 10 on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.
Despite months of attention around Clavicular’s involvement, Peters appears only briefly. The central figure is Tony Huge, a controversial biohacking personality whose online community promotes aggressive physical enhancement practices.
The series also investigates the death of Laith Abdullah Algaz, better known online as Leo & Longevity, who was found dead in Thailand in 2023.
Producers frame the story around extreme pursuits involving appearance, muscle and longevity among male influencers.
Stacey Lee directs, while Boardwalk Pictures and Hyperobject Industries produce, with Adam McKay among the executive producers.
His Disney And Hulu Fight Started At Fashion Week
Clavicular’s connection to the project became public months earlier.
According to Page Six, Peters served Disney and Hulu with a cease-and-desist after accusing documentarians Jennings Brown and James Kristofik of filming him without permission backstage at designer Elena Velez’s February New York Fashion Week show.
The influencer objected to the footage, but THR now says the documentary was not, and had never been, a Clavicular documentary.
Instead, his presence is one piece of a larger investigation into the culture that made him famous.
The True Crime Story Goes Far Beyond Clavicular
At the center of “Get Huge” is Leo & Longevity’s mysterious death in Thailand and the online theories that followed.
The documentary also examines Tony Huge and Connor Murphy, another fitness and looksmaxxing influencer who died in Thailand in July.
TMZ reported that Murphy drowned after allegedly behaving erratically and fleeing police before entering a lake. Huge later said friends had become concerned about Murphy’s behavior and tried to contact his family shortly before his death.
Huge also claimed Murphy had been experimenting with liquid gold injections.
The Hulu series uses the deaths to explore where self-experimentation, online notoriety and extreme physical transformation overlap.
THR stressed that the death driving the documentary has no connection to Clavicular.
More From The Blast
- Sophie Rain previously went off on Clavicular in a brutal public takedown.
- The looksmaxxing movement Clavicular helped popularize later made its way into Merriam-Webster.
- Clavicular previously admitted his streaming career might struggle without substances.
- The controversial streamer was also linked to Miami’s growing creator scene after reportedly renting a luxury penthouse in the city.
Clavicular’s Own Legal Troubles Have Escalated
The documentary reveal comes at a difficult moment for Peters. Days before THR disclosed the series’ focus, Clavicular pleaded not guilty in Massachusetts to charges of rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse and providing alcohol to someone under 21.
The charges stem from allegations involving a girl who was 17 when she visited a Peters family home in Chatham, Massachusetts, in May 2025.
According to the Associated Press, prosecutors allege Peters gave her alcohol before sexually assaulting her.
Peters denies the allegations and maintains through his attorneys that the sexual encounter was consensual.
He posted $10,000 bail, surrendered his passport and was ordered not to contact or post about his accuser. His attorneys also filed a motion seeking dismissal of the charges. His next hearing is scheduled for November 24.
The Blast previously reported on a related Florida civil lawsuit containing allegations of battery, fraud and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Peters denied those claims through his attorney.
The Hulu Reveal Caps A Turbulent Year
Earlier this year, a Florida misdemeanor battery charge against Peters was dropped. In a separate case, he received probation after pleading no contest to unlawfully firing a gun in public, according to the AP.
His online career has also faced setbacks. The Blast reported that YouTube removed additional channels associated with Peters after determining they violated rules against circumventing his previous platform ban.
He was also hospitalized following a troubling livestream episode in April and later spoke publicly about stepping away from substance use.
All of that gives Hulu’s November documentary an unusual backdrop. Clavicular may have generated early attention, but “Get Huge: Looksmaxxing to Death” appears poised to use his world rather than his personal story as part of a larger examination.
With Peters facing criminal charges while the series prepares to premiere, its release could bring even more attention to the controversial online culture that made him famous.
