Sydney Sweeney’s fast-rising career and new romance with Scooter Braun are reportedly colliding in ways that have her friends increasingly uneasy. While the actress appears deeply invested in her relationship with Braun, a report claims her friends fear the powerful talent executive is tightening his influence both personally and professionally.
Sydney Sweeney is lovestruck when it comes to Scooter Braun
Sydney Sweeney’s relationship with Scooter Braun is moving faster than anyone expected, and RadarOnline reports that those closest to her are growing alarmed. According to the outlet’s insider, the actress is “extremely ambitious,” and Braun’s promises about what he could do for her career quickly caught her attention. “Scooter made her a lot of promises about what he can help her achieve with her career, and she’s extremely ambitious, so of course that got her attention,” the insider claimed.
Braun has long held a reputation for shaping major entertainment careers, having previously guided stars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande. He is now a board member and advisor for Hybe, the global entertainment powerhouse. For Sweeney’s friends, that level of industry power combined with a new romance feels like a risky mix.
Their relationship reportedly began after the pair met at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding in Venice, Italy. By June, the two were seen spending time together. “It started as a business connection. That’s how he got into her orbit when a lot of other men were getting shut out,” the insider alleged. “Then suddenly it morphed into something else entirely, and she’s now lovestruck.”
More concerning, sources claim that Sweeney has begun running her business decisions through Braun, something they say she never needed to do. “Sydney has the world at her feet. She genuinely doesn’t need Scooter’s help to get anything done,” the insider claimed. “But she’s started running all her business decisions by him and acting like his word is gospel. It looks to her friends like this guy’s got a hold on her. Everyone is whispering about it.”
As the actress reportedly even considers moving in with Braun, those around her fear he may exert more and more control.
