Influencer Braden Peters Hospitalized After Bar Livestream

Braden Peters, a 20-year-old influencer, was hospitalized Tuesday after abruptly ending a Kick stream while at a bar with friends. During the stream, Peters appeared disoriented, prompting visible concern from his friends before the stream was turned off. Peters was taken to a hospital shortly afterward.

On Wednesday, Peters addressed his followers, stating he was "good" but declined to discuss details of the incident. " Peters also said he needs to "figure something else out," mentioning, "I have to figure out a new method. " He also noted, "The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask," and included a photo showing blood on his face.

An associate named Androgenic offered Peters Adderall on Tuesday and commented on social media that Peters went from speaking to being fairly unresponsive within seconds. Androgenic reported that everyone quickly realized the situation, turned off the stream, and rushed Peters to the hospital. Peters made a public appearance Wednesday night at the grand opening of Bacara Club in Miami.

Peters has a history of substance use and legal issues. He was previously arrested in Arizona for possessing and using dangerous drugs, including Adderall and an oral steroid, though prosecutors declined to press charges. The New York Times reported that Peters has injected and ingested dozens of controlled substances since age 14.

Last year, Peters appeared on a stream with influencer Cheesur, where he admitted to using methamphetamine to curb his appetite and noted infertility resulting from steroid use. In a 60 Minutes Australia interview, Peters walked out when questioned about knowing Andrew Tate. He was also filmed dancing to Kanye West's "Heil Hitler" alongside Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes.

A representative told People that Peters is an expert on looksmaxxing, not politics, and that Peters shut down the interview when pressed on topics outside his expertise.
