Sydney Sweeney, who has already endured a string of setbacks in recent months, now finds herself in fresh controversy over her romance with music mogul Scooter Braun.

The 28-year-old Euphoria star first sparked whispers earlier this year when she was spotted with Braun at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s lavish three-day wedding.

Since then, the pair’s relationship has continued to heat up, though not everyone in Hollywood is cheering them on.

Braun, 44, remains a polarising figure due to his long-running feud with Taylor Swift over her music masters, and insiders say Sweeney’s association with him has left her increasingly isolated.

“She’s getting the cold shoulder from Hollywood’s inner circle,” one source claimed.

Adding to the scrutiny, The White Lotus actress has weathered criticism for her outspoken support of Donald Trump and a recent American Eagle advert that sparked outrage for allegedly evoking eugenics.

Earlier this summer, she was even heckled during a Los Angeles screening.

The tension even followed her into awards season.

At the Emmys, Sweeney turned heads in a striking red satin gown, but insiders say she skipped the glitzy afterparties.

Despite the mounting backlash, her romance with Braun appears to be intensifying.

For now, she remains poised, focusing on her next big project: portraying boxer Christy Martin in a biopic already generating Oscar buzz.

When 'Christy' will be released? 

Sydney Sweeney's boxer biopic, Christy, is scheduled for a U.S. theatrical release on November 7, 2025.
