Clavicular is no longer facing criminal prosecution in connection with a fight at a short-term rental in Florida ... because prosecutors dropped the charges.

She was accused of sodomizing a juvenile at a hotel in Hapeville, Georgia, but she claimed the interaction was consensual.

Hong leaned on her background as a chef and restaurant owner, saying bringing people around a table is "always a good thing" ... but added Thanksgiving is "incredibly painful" for many communities.

Collins raised the issue because Hong called for Thanksgiving to be scrapped in a since-deleted 2021 post, writing ... "Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621."
