People Think Sydney Sweeney is ‘Rage Baiting’ After She Stepped Out Holding Hands With Scooter Braun
Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun are reportedly dating. The pair recently stepped out together in Los Angeles while holding hands. Sweeney, who has been at the center of various controversies this year, is facing a great deal of backlash for her new beau. Many people are shocked that she has linked herself to the controversial manager.
Sydney Sweeney was spotted holding hands with Scooter Braun
Sweeney and Braun are reportedly casually dating, with a source telling People that they are exploring “a genuine connection.” Though they have a 16-year age gap, the source said they “have a lot in common and neither one of them cares what others think.”
Sweeney’s friends and family are happy about the relationship, the source said. “For them, it’s such a relief to see her genuinely happy,” they added.
Braun’s loved ones are also supportive of the new relationship.
“They say it’s been a long time since they’ve seen him this settled in a relationship, and they can tell how much he admires her,” the source said. “He thinks she’s smart, kind, and fun, and she appreciates how he really sees her for who she is beyond all the noise.”
People are appalled that Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun are dating
Many people are not as happy about the new romance as Braun and Sweeney’s friends and family seem to be. Sweeney has recently courted controversy after she starred in an ad for American Eagle denim. Braun’s reputation took a major hit after he purchased Taylor Swift’s masters.
“I swear to god sydney has a humiliation kink,” wrote one person.
“A part of me kind of thinks Sydney is fully rage baiting now…but honestly she probably is closer to the demographic she’s pandering to currently lol,” one Reddit user wrote. “Two unlikable people dating.”
“Girl….” wrote another person simply.
Some people felt that Sweeney doesn’t seem to care about her reputation after a string of controversies.
“Truly feels like she broke the seal of unlikeability and was like ‘well there’s no turning back now I might as well do all the distasteful stuff I really want,’” wrote another person.
For people who do not like either Sweeney or Braun, the couple made sense.
“Honestly they seem like a good match based on all I know about each of them,” wrote one person.
She was previously engaged
Sweeney was previously engaged to Jonathan Davino, a businessman. They began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022. They broke up earlier this year.
“I’m learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends,” she told The Times when discussing her breakup (via People). “And I’m loving it.”
A source said that she could keep up with the pace of her career. She began to feel overwhelmed by planning a wedding with Davino, though.
“She’s not ready to settle down,” the source said, adding, “They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn’t split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.”
