Sydney Sweeney’s new romance with controversial music figure Scooter Braun is said to have raised concerns among her friends.
Radar online reported that the 28-year-old American actress is getting romantically involved with the 44-year-old businessman, investor and record executive after rejecting top-notch Hollywood stars such as Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady and Ben Affleck.
Sweeney’s decision has caused unrest in her inner circle because Braun is one of the most hated personalities in the music world.
For the uninitiated, the Euphoria star and the founder of RBMG Records were first caught dating each other in Venice in June this year. Some credible sources claimed that they have dated many times before and are completely immersed in their “casual” relationship.
The insider told the outlet: “Sydney says it’s nobody’s concern, she’s having fun and people have been wrong because Scooter is a cool, laid-back guy.”
“But friends say he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing and you only have to look at his past to see that,” the source said.
Notably, Braun bought Big Machine Records in 2019, a former record label of Taylor Swift that produced her first six albums, which eventually incurred her wrath. The pop sensation seethed with rage, calling him a “relentless, manipulative” bully.
The insider urged, “Taylor and Justin and many more would swear he is a piece of shit and anyone interested in dating him should seriously reconsider because he is not to be trusted.”
“They say he has to be avoided with a ten-foot pole,” the source noted.
However, Sweeney says that she “has every right to see who she wants, and nobody wants to take that away from her, but this has all the earmarks of a disaster in the making. People think she’s making a big mistake, even dating him.”
“Scooter has such a bad reputation and the feeling is that Sydney could do a lot better,” the insider concluded.
