Star Power and Scandal: Why Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun Could Be Next on the Cancel Culture List

The Fall of Two Stars: Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's Downfall

In a shocking turn of events, two once-beloved Hollywood figures have found themselves at the center of controversy and scandal. Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun, who were once revered for their talent and industry success, are now arguably more synonymous with drama than with their glittering careers.

Sydney Sweeney, the blonde bombshell from HBO's hit series Euphoria, was once on top of the world. With her Emmy nominations and string of brand deals, she seemed to be unstoppable. However, beneath the surface, a different story was unfolding. Critics have accused Sydney of "secretly" harboring MAGA views, sparking outrage among liberals.

What started as 'casually dating' seems to have grown stronger, with Scooter said to have joined Sydney on a getaway this month - although he didn't feature in her swimsuit-clad snaps

Meanwhile, Scooter Braun, who had launched the careers of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, had his own share of scandals brewing. He took ownership of Taylor Swift's masters, leading to a very public feud between the two. The situation was further complicated by Scooter's secret romance with Sydney Sweeney, which has raised eyebrows among fans.

The unlikely pair met at the wedding of billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and presenter Lauren Sanchez, an event that was already shrouded in controversy due to its $20 million budget and protests from critics. As the two began "casually dating," it quickly escalated into a serious romance. However, their relationship may be put to the test by Sydney's alleged MAGA sympathies.

Scooter, a self-proclaimed Democrat, has hosted fundraisers for Hillary Clinton and endorsed Kamala Harris. His defense of Taylor Swift against Donald Trump's attacks on her only added fuel to the fire. But now, as he navigates his romance with Sydney, their differing politics may become a significant sticking point in their relationship.

Last month, it was also revealed that Sydney was a member of the Republican Party of Florida, according to public voter records viewed by the Daily Mail

Taylor Swift, who had long been at odds with Scooter over the ownership of her masters, may also find herself drawn into the drama surrounding their romance. Fans have taken to social media to express their outrage and surprise at Sydney's supposed MAGA views, with some accusing her of "rage baiting" for attention.

Sydney's own friends and colleagues seem to be distancing themselves from her as well. At the recent Emmy Awards, she made a subdued appearance on stage, failing to mingle with other celebrities or attend any afterparties. The actress has been on shaky ground since a backlash over her American Eagle denim campaign, which was criticized for being "Nazi propaganda."

The controversy surrounding Sydney's campaign only seemed to boost the brand's profits, with figures showing that it earned $1.28 billion since June. Experts have suggested that Sydney's willingness to court controversy is not a mistake, but rather a deliberate strategy.

In contrast, Scooter is a Democrat, having hosted a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton at his home in 2015 (pictured with mayor Eric Adams in 2024)

However, this approach may not be paying off in all areas of her life. Her latest movies, Eden and Americana, both released in August, have underperformed at the box office. The disappointing results may be due to lukewarm reviews, despite featuring star-studded casts.

As Sydney navigates these controversies, she also appears to be moving on from a previous engagement. She split with businessman Jonathan Davino earlier this year, and it seems that her romance with Scooter Braun is gaining momentum.

In conclusion, the downfall of Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun serves as a cautionary tale about the fleeting nature of fame and the dangers of controversy. As these two stars continue to navigate their personal and professional lives, one thing is clear: the line between Hollywood glamour and scandal is thinner than ever.
