Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza, the woman who accused social media influencer Braden Peters-known online as “Clavicular”-of assault, has refiled her civil lawsuit in Miami-Dade County. The updated legal filing removes several of her initial allegations while maintaining claims regarding battery, fraudulent misrepresentation, and unauthorized medical procedures.
According to court documents filed on Thursday, October 8, the amended civil complaint no longer contains accusations that Peters raped Mendoza or engaged in nonconsensual acts while she was asleep at his family home in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Instead, the revised filing states that Peters “had s*xual relations with Mendoza multiple times while she was intoxicated.”
Reason Behind the Civil Lawsuit Amendment
Mendoza’s attorney, Drew Moss, released a statement explaining that the decision to scale back the civil complaint was intentional. The goal is to prevent the civil proceedings from overlapping or conflicting with an active criminal case currently moving through the court system in Massachusetts.
“At this time, the specific count against Braden Peters has been dropped from the civil litigation in Miami, Florida, due to the pending criminal charges in Massachusetts,” Moss stated. “In light of Mr. Peters’ recent posts and other conduct, this matter is more appropriate for the criminal justice system. Ms. Mendoza does not want her civil case to interfere with that process.”
The Massachusetts Criminal Case
The adjustment in civil court follows formal criminal charges filed against the 20-year-old influencer in September by the Chatham Police Department in Orleans District Court, Barnstable County, Massachusetts. Peters faces multiple counts stemming from the alleged May 2025 encounter, including:
- Procuring liquor for a person under the age of 21
- Drugging someone for s*xual i*********e
- Additional criminal counts related to the incident
Peters, a prominent figure in the online “looksmaxxing” community, has consistently denied all criminal charges and disputed the narrative presented by his accuser. His legal and management teams have previously characterized the accusations as financially motivated attempts to leverage his social media success.
Remaining Claims in the Amended Civil Complaint
While the most severe allegations were removed from the civil docket to accommodate the criminal prosecution, Mendoza’s amended lawsuit still pursues damages exceeding $50,000 for several other causes of action. The active claims include:
- Battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress
- Fraudulent misrepresentation and fraudulent concealment
- Unauthorized publication of name and likeness
- An alleged November 2025 incident in Delray Beach, Florida, involving unapproved cosmetic injections
The Florida portion of the lawsuit alleges that Peters administered injections of Aqualyx-a non-FDA-approved fat-dissolving compound-into Mendoza’s face during a live streaming session on Kick without her legal consent or parental permission while she was still a minor.
Legal proceedings in both Florida and Massachusetts remain ongoing, with future court dates scheduled as prosecutors and defense attorneys navigate the parallel civil and criminal tracks.
