Adult film star Willow Ryder didn’t immediately recognize the man who entered the Miami party she was at earlier this month, but she knew he wasn’t part of the sex work industry.
He had an entourage and what appeared to be a hulking bodyguard. Her friends told her it was Clavicular, aka Braden Peters, a popular Kick livestreamer known for “looksmaxxing,” or resorting to extreme measures to improve his appearance.
Ryder says she didn’t know exactly who Clavicular was or what he talked about on his stream, but she knew that he had a massive following. And as a content creator herself, she felt it would be beneficial to her to appear on his stream, so she introduced herself to him. When she returned to her friends, she says they told her that “he’s known for talking shit to women and embarrassing women and that he talks shit about people that do sex work.”
In clips from the May 14 party—an event primarily for porn stars sponsored by the podcast Pillow Talk—that’s exactly what Clavicular did. In one video, he is seen upbraiding a woman holding a leashed man, accusing her of taking advantage of him and calling her “disgusting.” In another, he berates an adult entertainer for promoting her stage name, even though pseudonyms are a common security measure within the industry. Later, he accuses the latter of “funneling young kids to porn,” calling her a “pedophile” and a “disgusting porn creature.” The encounter left the woman in tears, according to Ryder.
After Clavicular insulted the woman, Ryder says, she approached Pillow Talk host Ryan Pownall to talk to Clavicular, saying he was making sex workers uncomfortable. She says Pownall dismissed her concerns, claiming he had invited Clavicular as a way to promote the show, which regularly interviews porn stars and has 1.8 million followers on Instagram. “He said I was bringing a bad vibe … and Clavicular was the most famous person in the room,” she says. Pownall did not respond to a request for comment.
From there, the party got out of control.
As Clavicular was livestreaming from the event, other aspiring streamers and hangers-on flooded in. According to Ryder and Austin King, a reporter at the industry website Porn Crush who attended the party, a fight broke out, with partygoers screaming and running in various directions after someone allegedly pulled out a gun.
Though it appears that none of the attendees were hurt, on her way home an irate Ryder publicly called out Pownall and Clavicular on social media, posting on X: “I don’t care how famous a guest is—allowing women to be disrespected, screamed at, and put in an unsafe environment for clout is lame. Do better.” Her post got more than 817,000 views, prompting other sex workers and OnlyFans models to chide Pownall for putting their safety at risk so a large streamer could exploit them for content.
Pownall ultimately issued a public apology on Instagram, expressing remorse for the women in the industry who felt “disrespected or unwelcome” because of “certain guests” at the event. He also canceled a planned appearance at a club Clavicular has promoted, Bacara, in Miami Beach.
But the fallout from the Pillow Talk party has prompted a wider conversation within the adult content industry about livestreamers and podcast bros objectifying and humiliating women and sex workers in their content and compromising their safety. Many called out the hypocrisy of men like Clavicular, who allegedly runs his own OnlyFans agency and features models on streams, for directly profiting off sex workers while publicly excoriating them. A source close to Clavicular confirms he has explored starting an OnlyFans agency but has concerns about publicly promoting it due to his audience’s dislike of sex workers. Clavicular did not respond to requests for comment.
