Sydney Sweeney's ascendant career and her burgeoning romance with Scooter Braun appear to be colliding in a manner that has her inner circle increasingly uneasy. Despite the actress's apparent deep investment in her relationship with the powerful talent executive, sources claim that her friends fear Braun is tightening his grip on her both personally and professionally.
Sydney Sweeney is head over heels for Scooter Braun, and their relationship is moving at a speed that has even those closest to her growing alarmed. According to RadarOnline's insider, the actress's "extreme ambition" was quickly captured by Braun's promises of what he could do for her career. "Scooter made her a multitude of promises about what he could help her achieve in her career, and she's extremely ambitious, so of course that got her attention," the insider claimed.
Braun is renowned for shaping major entertainment careers, having previously guided stars like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande. As a board member and advisor for Hybe, the global entertainment powerhouse, his influence is substantial. For Sweeney's friends, this 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," the insider alleged. "That's how he got into her orbit when a lot of other men were getting shut out. Then suddenly it morphed into something else entirely, and she's now lovestruck."
More concerning is that sources claim 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 acting like his word is gospel and running all her business decisions by him. 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.
