Mitchell Jackson, a publicist for Clavicular, has stopped working with the controversial influencer over his drug use, PEOPLE can confirm.

On Tuesday, April 14, the 20-year-old internet personality, whose real name is Braden Peters, was hospitalized for a suspected drug overdose after he appeared to be under the influence and was slurring his words on a livestream.

An exclusive source tells PEOPLE on April 16, “Mitchell quit because Braden will not take his health seriously.”

“Braden thinks he’s invincible and nobody’s invincible,” the source continues. “If Braden wants to get sober and get healthy, he would be willing to rejoin him because he values him as a person.”

Peters did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Over the last few years, Peters has grown a following online as a leader of the “looksmaxxing” community, a controversial sect of the internet populated by young men who strive to maximize their attractiveness in often extreme ways.

The content creator has frequently drawn criticism for extremist and, at times, overtly racist acts on his livestreams, including the use of a racial slur and admitting to using illegal drugs, such as meth, to maintain his appearance.

The day after his hospitalization, Peters updated his followers that he had gotten home from the hospital, sharing a selfie with blood on his face and writing, “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.”

He said in a Kick livestream later that day that he was “good” following his hospitalization, but he added that he didn’t want to share more details.

“I ain’t going to be doing any more substances for a little while, hopefully forever,” the Miami-based streamer added, according to a clip reshared on YouTube.

On April 15, PEOPLE exclusively confirmed that Peters was transported to the hospital for his suspected overdose in a private vehicle after refusing assistance from fire and police personnel who responded to a 911 call.

Spokespeople for the Miami Police Department told PEOPLE that police and Miami Fire-Rescue responded to a 911 call involving a “a male experiencing a medical emergency” during the evening of April 14, but after authorities arrived to the scene, “We were advised that the individual had already been transported from the scene in a personal vehicle.”

“It was clear that those involved did not want Fire/Police assistance,” added a spokesperson for Miami Fire-Rescue.

In footage from the scene, Peters can be seen being carried by men dressed in black and placed into a black SUV after the fire services had arrived.

Days before his hospitalization, Peters made headlines after he walked out of an interview with 60 Minutes Australia when he was asked why he spent time with controversial figures such as Andrew Tate, who faces criminal charges for rape and human trafficking, allegations which Tate denies.
