Sydney Sweeney has reportedly worried her inner circle after she began dating music mogul Scooter Braun, 44. The “Euphoria” star, 28, has allegedly been on several dates with him, keeping the relationship “casual,” according to insiders. However, her friends have sparked intense backlash, warning that she’s walking into a “disaster.”

Sweeney and Braun fueled dating rumors in June after paparazzi spotted them together in Venice, sparking intense speculation about their relationship. However, those close to the actress aren’t pleased. “Sydney’s saying it’s nobody’s concern — she’s just having fun and people have got it wrong because Scooter’s a cool, chilled-out guy,” said an insider to Radar Online. “But friends say he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and you only have to look at his past to see that.”
Braun, a powerhouse in the music industry, is no stranger to controversy. In 2019, Braun acquired Big Machine Records and, with it, the masters of Taylor Swift’s first six albums without her approval.
Swift accused Braun of being “incessant” and “manipulative,” later re-recording her albums to regain control of her work. Earlier this year, she revealed that she finally bought back her master’s, calling it “the greatest dream come true.”
Braun also had a falling out with longtime client Justin Bieber over an alleged unpaid $8 million loan, leading to their professional split in August 2023.
Those close to Sweeney are urging her to rethink her relationship with Braun. “Taylor and Justin and many more would swear he’s a scumbag,” one insider said. “Anyone interested in dating him should seriously rethink that because he’s not to be trusted.”
While Sweeney insists she’s simply having fun, her friends fear she’s making risky choices, the insider said. “This has all the earmarks of a disaster in the making. People think she’s making a huge mistake even associating with him.” “Scooter has such a bad reputation,” a friend concluded, “The feeling is that Sydney could do much better.”
