Sydney Sweeney was allegedly advised to break up with Scooter Braun if she wanted to be taken seriously in Hollywood. After spending much of 2026 without a traditional acting agent, the “Euphoria” actor finally signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in September 2026. Amid the development, reports have surfaced claiming that Ari Emanuel, executive chairman of WME Group, urged Sweeney to leave her boyfriend if she wanted to be taken more seriously in her career.

Ari Emanuel reportedly told Sydney Sweeney to break up with Scooter Braun if she wanted to be taken seriously for her work. The actor officially signed with CAA in September 2026. The organization is one of the most powerful talent agencies in Hollywood. It is known for helping Hollywood’s biggest stars, musicians, writers, directors, and athletes land major deals.
As per Page Six, the signing may have been connected to a meeting Sweeney allegedly had with Emanuel earlier in the year. Apparently, the two met in January, shortly after Sweeney became agent-less. Sources claimed that Emanuel advised Sweeney to break up with Braun for the sake of her career. This made the conversation awkward for her. The source said, “Ari was telling her that if she wanted to be taken seriously as an actress and businesswoman, she needed to break up with Scooter.”

Sweeney was reportedly taken aback by the comments. The news also allegedly reached Braun, who was also upset by the remark. In fact, it hurt him even more because he had encouraged Sweeney to meet with Emanuel in the first place.
However, Emanuel’s representative denied that he had met with Sweeney in January. The representative also said that Emanuel never asked her to leave Braun. Neither Sweeney nor Emanuel has publicly addressed the alleged incident. Additionally, there has been no reported rift between Braun and Emanuel, so it remains unclear what actually happened.
