“Sydney could do much better”: Friends raise alarms over Scooter Braun romance

Sydney Sweeney's friends are concerned about her relationship with music executive Scooter Braun. While Sweeney seems to be blissfully in love with Braun, friends close to her have expressed how she could do better than him.

In a recent exclusive with Radar Online, an insider said that they have no say in who Sydney chooses to date or spend her time with romantically. They believe the relationship is bound to end horribly. In their words:

"Sydney has every right to see who she wants, and no one wants to deprive her of that, but 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, and the feeling is that Sydney could do much better."

When did Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun start dating?

The first time Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun were spotted together was at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding in June. The pair was seen hanging out with each other in Italy.

Two months later, Star reported that friends close to Braun revealed that the two are officially dating, but they wanted to keep their relationship on the down-low. By September, more news outlets reported on Sweeney and Braun's relationship.

A source told People:

"Everything is casual. She is living her life and working hard."

Another source close to Braun said:

"He’s loving spending time with her and seeing where things go."

Another insider spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the backlash the couple received ever since the public found out they were dating. The source said:

"They were both overwhelmed by the backlash they received from news of them dating coming out... They thought the hate was blown out of proportion... Sydney and Scooter are still seeing each other and trying to be as low-key as possible, while still dating and having fun. They are just taking things slow and enjoying their time together."

More concerns from Sydney Sweeney's friends

Sweeney's friends have also addressed the topic with the actress, but she responded by saying that it is "nobody's concern." An insider reported to Radar Online:

"Sydney's saying it's nobody's concern, she's having fun and people have got it wrong because Scooter's a cool, chilled-out guy... But friends say he's a wolf in sheep's clothing and you only have to look at his past to see that."

Scooter Braun's reputation in the music industry is well-known, and many artists are not big fans of the music executive. One of his most public feuds was with Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift.

He had bought her former music label, Big Machine Records, without her approval, along with the masters of her first six albums. This made Taylor Swift re-record some of her albums before finally buying them back this year.

Another artist Braun has beef with is Justin Bieber. Braun and Bieber had been working with each other for a long time before they decided to part ways two years ago. It was reported that Braun allegedly loaned Bieber $8 million, which is still unpaid to date.

According to the insider, Sweeney's friends want her to stop seeing Scooter Braun, saying:

"They say he should be avoided with a ten-foot pole."
