Peters’ looksmaxxing persona built him a large following before his legal troubles mounted, and now that following is watching his civil case shrink in real time.
According to sources, Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza (who goes by Alorah Ziva online) has pulled the SA claim from her civil lawsuit against Braden Peters (known as Clavicular). The move comes as a separate case against him plays out in Massachusetts, and her attorney says that timing is exactly the point.
Peters’ charges stem from an alleged encounter at his family’s Cape Cod home in May 2025. He denies the allegations.
Mendoza had already sued Peters in Florida before the charges were filed. Her civil complaint covers more ground than the Massachusetts case, including a claim that he gave her cosmetic injections during a broadcast in November 2025 without consent that would hold up legally.
On October 8, Mendoza filed a second amended complaint that strips out the battery count entirely. The lawsuit still seeks more than $50,000 in damages, built now on claims of battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and unauthorized use of her name and likeness.
Her attorney Drew Moss explained the reasoning to NBC News, pointing to the criminal proceedings as the reason for pulling back.
“Ms. Mendoza does not want her civil case to interfere with that process,” he said.
Moss cited Peters’ recent posts and other conduct as factors behind the decision. The amended complaint still lays out the May 2025 encounter in detail, but the explicit nonconsensual allegations that appeared in the earlier version are gone.
The legal chess match here didn’t start with Mendoza’s amendment. Court records show Peters had already asked for the civil case to be paused on September 29, more than a week before her filing. His lawyers argued he’s caught between two bad options: answering questions in the lawsuit could expose him to self-incrimination in the case, but invoking his Fifth Amendment rights in the civil suit could weaken his defense there.
A separate order from September 29 also sent Mendoza back to rework her fraud claim. The judge handling the case has yet to decide whether the battery count should be split off from the rest of the lawsuit altogether.
Even with that count removed, the revised complaint doesn’t go easy on Peters. It includes screenshots of comments posted during the live broadcast warning that Mendoza was 17 at the time of the alleged cosmetic injections. The filing alleges Peters was aware of her age and went ahead with the procedure anyway, without consent that would satisfy legal standards.
Peters’ spokesperson declined to comment on the amended complaint when approached by NBC. The outlet also reported a scheduling shift in the case: his arraignment, originally set for October 14, was called off, with the next hearing now pushed to October 22.
For now, the two cases are moving on separate tracks, with Mendoza’s legal team clearly trying to keep them that way.
