Peter Mark Brant Jr. was born December 30, 1993, and raised in
Greenwich, Connecticut. His paternal grandparents were Bulgarian Jewish immigrants. In 2011, Brant publicly came out as gay. In 2014, Brant was quoted in a ''
Harper's Bazaar'' profile of him, his brother Harry and mother, Stephanie, about enjoying his clan's notoriety, "We had to do a report about our parents: where they were born, what they did, and all that. Everyone else had to do theirs as homework, but I finished mine before class ended using Wikipedia." Brant attended
Bard College in
Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. In 2015, Peter along with his younger brother Harry, in collaboration with
Mac Cosmetics, launched a unisex cosmetics line aimed at the
gender fluid youth movement. In March 2016, Brant was arrested at
John F. Kennedy International Airport after a "drunken ruckus", during which he assaulted a police officer. Brant's lawyer referred to him as an "idiot." ==References==
