Controversial streamer Clavicular has been sued for battery, fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more ... TMZ has learned. A lawyer for Clav adamantly denies the claims.

Influencer Aleksandra Vasilevna Mendoza is dragging Clavicular [real name: Braden Peters] to court for allegedly promising to promote her career back in 2025 ... claiming he instead took advantage of her, had sex with her while she was under 18, and injected her face with drugs.

According to a new lawsuit filed in Florida and obtained by TMZ, Mendoza first met Clavicular -- real name Braden Eric Peters -- when she was 16 years old. She says he paid her $1,000 to film videos for him in May 2025 and said he wanted her to be the female face for "looksmaxxing" ... the practice of doing anything to enhance one's physical appearance.

N3on quickly put some distance between himself and D4vd after video emerged of the two meeting ... telling the guy he's not only going to jail -- he's headed to hell as well.

The streamer reacted to a video from one of his past streams where he met the alleged murderer ... watching the video in horror as he and the singer dapped each other up.

N3on goes into a total meltdown ... claiming he had no idea he ever met the dude -- and making it clear the interaction went down long before 14-year-old Celeste Rivas was found dismembered in the now-jailed singer's Tesla.

Natalie Halcro is stepping back into the dating scene and she's doing it with YouTuber Mike Majlak, with cameras rolling for Khloé Kardashian's new Hulu show ... TMZ has learned.

We've obtained photos of Khloé's BFF out Monday night in Los Angeles with Mike, starting their evening at Bitter Root Pottery Studio before leaving together and heading to Dr. Sandwich for a casual dinner date.

Witnesses tell us the vibe was laid back ... lots of conversation, no major PDA ... just a first hang between two people getting to know each other.

Spotify and Apple Music are under growing pressure to yank D4vd's music off their platforms completely after he was recently charged with sexually abusing and murdering 14-year-old Celeste Rivas just over a year ago.

The advocacy group Industry Blackout launched a Change.org petition calling on Spotify, Apple and other streaming services to axe all his music from their catalogs, writing ... "When an artist has been charged with the sexual abuse and murder of a minor, a child who was drawn into his orbit through his music and public persona, continuing to stream, promote, and profit from his catalog is a choice. It is not a neutral one."

The petition has under 1,000 signatures so far, but it comes as artists have distanced themselves from the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. Rolling Stone reports his former collaborators Kali Uchis, Holly Humberstone, Laufey and Damiano David have all cut their collaborations from streaming platforms with the help of UMG.

D4vd pled not guilty ... but do you believe him? Plus, the TMZ DC boys have taken The Hill by storm and the "Summer House" love triangle continues to dominate the Bravo-verse. So, we gotta ask ...

Big changes with "The White Lotus" only days into filming ... Helena Bonham Carter is OUT!!!

TMZ has confirmed Helena's departure from the show, which just started filming about a week ago in France, and her role will be rewritten and recast.

In a statement, a rep for HBO tells TMZ ... "With filming just underway on season four of The White Lotus, it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align once on set."

"The role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks. HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won’t get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon."

It's another sad day for '90s kids. Just like the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot, the new "Clueless" series has been canned ... but there is light at the end of the tunnel for Cher.

Insiders tell TMZ ... Peacock has decided not to move forward with development of the series based on the beloved 1990s flick starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and the late Brittany Murphy.

But, we hear that does not mean the series is dead -- it will continue to be developed while it's shopped around by CBS Studios -- the IP being a Paramount property. Silverstone was attached to reprise her iconic character, Cher.

Taylor Swift really is living the life of a showgirl ... she was just named the most-streamed artist on Spotify ever!

The streaming service turned 20 on Thursday, and the company celebrated by breaking down lists of its all-time top performers.

Taylor topped the list of Spotify's most popular artists ... beating out Bad Bunny, Drake, The Weeknd, and Ariana Grande, who filled out the Top 5.

But taking a closer look at the other lists is where things get a bit more interesting.

The streamer also broke down their all-time, most-streamed albums ... she barely made the Top 10, with "Lover" coming in at Number 8.

The coveted title of most-streamed album instead went to Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti."

It's worth noting that Taylor makes two appearances on the list ... "Midnights" also just made the cut at 18.

However Bad Bunny and Drake also have two records in the Top 20 ... and The Weeknd has three.

Drake’s icy album rollout didn’t just melt ... it got smashed open by a streamer who walked away with the grand prize.

Twitch streamer Kishka was one of the many fans trying to crack the code -- after The Boy hinted the release date was buried inside a massive ice block installation outside Toronto's Bond Place Hotel. Kishka even live-streamed himself climbing on top of the structure … eventually pulling out a blue bag stamped with the words, “Freeze the world" -- and things escalated quickly.

As we told you, people had pulled up with things like blowtorches and pickaxes, trying to speed things up ... and Kishka cracked the code.

A former homicide prosecutor in California says the severe decomposition of Celeste Rivas' body shouldn't be a huge hurdle in the murder case against D4vd.

Matt Murphy, who prosecuted murder cases for 2 decades down in Orange County, joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and -- based on that experience -- added his 2 cents on D4vd's arrest.

The critical piece of evidence is Celeste's manner of death ... and a high-ranking LAPD source told us the L.A. County Medical Examiner ruled her death a homicide.

D4vd's arrest Thursday came 7 months after Celeste's chopped up and decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla ... and a source connected to the M.E. previously told us they had trouble determining the manner of death because of the state of the body when it was found.

Kevin Hart’s preaching the gospel of gains -- but he’s giving all the credit to his guy Mark Wahlberg ... saying nobody’s doing it like the king of those brutal 4 AM workouts.

TMZ caught up with Kevin at Wally’s in Beverly Hills Wednesday -- and he kept it playful, clowning Mark’s routine as "s***" before flipping it, joking the 54-year-old’s actually 75 and deserves even more credit.

Check the video -- Kevin goes full fanboy over Mark’s grind, which he recently told us is so intense even Druski had to tap out when he joined him for a session.

But Kev’s not just hyping his boy -- he also gets into his own health kick, showing love to the gym life and shouting out his workout circle along the way.

Clavicular's entourage is a little smaller after his suspected overdose last night ... his friend Androgenic who flew out from Australia to be a side character on his live stream just got kicked to the curb ... and it sounds like Adderall is to blame.

Sources close to Clavicular tell TMZ ... people in the streamer's inner circle felt the Australian was a bad influence ... and the dude raised concerns when he appeared to offer Clav an Adderall during the possible overdose incident.

We're told Clav had been keeping the guy around because he's another "looksmaxxer," and Clav wasn't buying the bad influence claims ... but that all changed today -- our sources say Clav's security escorted the friend out of Clav's house, and Clav didn't try to stop it.

Clavicular was back in action Wednesday night at the grand opening of Miami Beach’s first streaming nightclub, Bacara Club, and helped tear off the roof with rapper Blueface.

TMZ obtained video of Blueface commanding the stage at the Florida club as he bobbed his head to Fun's "We Are Young" with a group while up on stage. Clav is right there with him, taking in all the vibes from the crowd ... nodding his head and singing along.

BTW, Clavicular is a major Blueface fan ... the streamer had Blueface on his stream about a month ago and rapped his "Respect My Cryppin'" word-for-word.

Clavicular is back home after being rushed to the hospital Tuesday night following a suspected overdose ... and he claimed his situation was so serious he was given a life support mask.

He updated concerned fans on X Wednesday morning by sharing a selfie showing red markings on his face and admitted he used substances to feel "neurotypical," leading to the scary situation.

The "looksmaxxing" influencer penned ... "Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask."
