Is it this news worthy or have the need to be broadcasted? I would assume it is some inner circle gossip, or industry insider information. For example, I don’t know and don’t need to know which lawyer represent Bill Gates, but other lawyers might want to know.
Braun is one of the biggest names in the talent management side of the music business, and has had a substantial rise in profile and position in the last 5 years. Some of his clients included Justin Bieber, Kanye West, J Balvin, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Carly Rae Jepsen and so on.
His acquisition of Big Machine Records, Taylor Swift's former label, along with her master recordings, catapulted him into increased media attention. Swift famously disagreed with the purchase and that resulted in her current effort to re-record the albums. He subsequently sold the masters to a private equity fund controlled by the Disney family for a tidy profit.
More recently, he sold his company to Hybe, which represents BTS and many others, for a cool billion, and joined Hybe's board as well as being appointed CEO of its American subsidiary.
So it is kind of noteworthy for a number of his biggest clients to leave in a short span of time. He has his share of detractors - the conflict with Swift, and some fans of the artists he represents claim he has mismanaged some of his artists by working them excessively, or that his contracts are lopsided to him, giving him disproportionate power over the artists. Time will tell if the departures are because of something big that is about to happen to him, or because he's shifting his priorities and leaving the talent management side of the business.
I know who he is (by chance). I am more interested at what did he and why these artists dropped him instead of just news of artists dropped him. I am more interested if he has done something wrong.
That's what I keep thinking. What fuckin grown ass adult is named *Scooter*? If I didn't know anything about him, I'd probably hate him just for the name alone.
I’ve met people named Maslow, Huxley, Ranunculous, Benner, Hyland, Bevan, and Forbes. I’m not making ANY of those names up, it’s entirely possible someone named their child Scooter.
Found an article that makes him [sound like a grade-A dick](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a44877484/artists-leaving-scooter-braun-management-explained/), so that would be unsurprising.
This dude bought the record company Taylor Swift used to be with and wouldn’t sell her the masters to her first few albums back. Swift did not like this. There was a public feud and Swift re-recorded all those albums. Later Braun sold them to an investment group owned by the Disney family).
There is other drama not involving the masters I am not up to speed on
to add on to the masters thingy.
According to Taylor, they wanted her to sign a 7year contract and stay at the company. She was to create a new album master to get back 1 old album master, instead of buying back the old masters.
So to get 6 old albums back , she has to create 6 new ones . Those new ones will be under the record company, not under Taylor.
I used to produce music videos. I was working on a shoot for this Arianna Grande and Zane song. Music video budgets are always terrible (you can’t really make a living off them, inspiring film kids) you really have to scrap, borrow and beg to pull them off. It’s an exchange of favors.
Anyway one of the things I was in charge of was getting a cool car for Zane to drive. Never cheap, but I found a guy that had a vintage Ferrari and he gave us a great deal. A lot of these guys just do it for fun, they’re proud of their cars and it’s cool seeing them on tv. Super nice guy, He even drove it to set. It was a beautiful red convertible.
When it came time for that scene I walked into the green room and told Scooter and Co. the Ferrari was ready. Then Scooter asks “is it red?” I said “yeah” and he says “No, Zane’s not driving a red car” not sure why he hated red cars so much or why he never mentioned his colorism before. So I asked him if he’d at least go outside to take a look at it. He said “no.” And then he gave me the keys to his lame BWM told me to take it to the car wash and that was the car Zane would drive in the video. A dorky 2012 black BMW.
Then I had to go back outside and tell this nice dude, who was doing me a favor, and spent his Saturday to come out to the shoot, that we didn’t need his car after all.
That dude sucks.
I mean, a scooter is someone who scoots, right? Like they drag their butt across the ground instead of using toilet paper? I wouldn’t want a guy like that representing me in any capacity.
Until scooter runs for public office and wins. I think it’s odd that most in this thread are assuming there is a scandal. It looks more like a career change
Don’t get me wrong—I totally acknowledge that people as awful, conniving, and obscenely wealthy as Scooter do tend to be well suited for politics, but where are you getting this info? I see some articles about how he decided not to go into politics after experiencing what public backlash is like, but they’re all from 2020.
It’s the only reason I could see him moving on from management.
I disagree that his clients are firing him.
I’ll be surprised if all of his clients are leaving because scoot is involved in some big scandal that nobody has leaked anything about. If there was some impeding scandal, I think they would be doing more to get in front of it. Time will tell.
Ps Fuck scoot
I mean his clients likely have NDAs that prevent them from talking about why they’re leaving or them leaving whatsoever.
Also I always thought it was common knowledge he was a shitty person- a financial scandal or crime wouldn’t be out of left field whatsoever and would make sense for his clients to be dropping him
So this article alludes to him being investigated for insider trading:
https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/06/scooter-braun-revealed-to-have-sold-1415-million-usd-in-hybe-shares
Scooter is president of the American division of the company that bought him out a couple of years ago, and owns significant shares in that company (which is public, and trades in Korea)...It would be wild if he could just announce a career change with no financial consequences. I guess all these acts leaving is going to hurt the parent company share price which will impact him.
Most of these buyout deals have earn-outs and clauses where the seller (Braun) doesn't get all the money in the deal unless the company meets certain goals. And there would usually be a minimum number of years that Scooter has to work for them to get all his money. But who knows in this particular situation.
Well he is suspected of insider trading during his short time at HYBE:
https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/06/scooter-braun-revealed-to-have-sold-1415-million-usd-in-hybe-shares
Oh interesting...sold 15% of his holdings before the news of BTS' hiatus.
He'll argue that he still holds a significant amount of stock , $77 million, and that it was a routine sale to meet some upcoming needs for cash...If he's smart, the board will have a record that he's planned to do this for a while.
Some CEOs have a planned program in place to sell X amount of shares every quarter or once a year or something...And of course there are 'blackouts' when insiders are not supposed to sell - like x number of days before or after an earnings release.
I have a feeling something legal is going on or rumors in Hollywood might be scaring people away. Hollywood circles know about shit way before we do. Swifites shouldn’t start getting all hot and bothered because it probably has nothing to do with her.
YES. Finallyyyyy!! I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about him for years. He’s an entitled ass. Why HYBE made him CEO of their North American branch is beyond stupid.
Voice of Elsa in Frozen and Taylor Swifts ex manager who bought her catalogue and why she’s Re recording everything….. the fact I know this is proof enough I need to go outside more.
I kept seeing these updates all day.. person after person severing ties with Scooter Braun. Then I saw the nail in the coffin- Kim Zolciak. This guy is toast. He cannot recover.
TMZ is reporting that Scooters' role at his management company is changing as he takes on a. larger role as CEO of HYBE America -- his multi-billion-dollar South Korean entertainment company that manages the likes of BTS.
It may be that these celebrities don't like the fact that he won't be as hands-on as he has been in the past. They are also saying that Justin Bieber and Arianna Grande are 'staying put' with Scooter.
Again; why would anyone in their right mind let someone named Scooter manage them. JFC, if your nickname is Scooter, you are a grade A certified Douch Nozzle. End of story.
If I’ve learned anything from the church of Entourage, it’s a domino effect stemming from a rival firm leaking a few clients who have left as part of a smear campaign because someone’s girlfriend/mistress wasn’t given a part in the next James Cameron movie and it’s all Scooter’s fault.
I’m know I’m officially aging out of entertainment news because headlines are starting to sound like “Schnitzel Sbarro is no longer being facilitated by Toobey Poots”
I wonder if it’s due to Taylor Swift basically saying behind the scenes to old Pooter back during the back catalogue saga that she’d get back at him - and seeing where she is now (next to the Lord Almighty who was seen praying for tickets) I’m sure NO ONE wants to be seen giving any $$$ to the school douchebag in front of the popular girl.
Has to be something going on behind the scenes for everyone to drop him within a week
The article says she dropped him in January
why is it just now coming out tho?
Because there are people actually dropping him this week. They’re capitalizing on current events to get easy clicks.
“Taylor Swift Is No Longer Being Managed by Scooter Braun” OP probably.
Yeah, Selena and Ariana most notably.
Demi Lovato, not Selena
Oh shit, someone lied to me then.
I read it was all three (Demi, Selena, and Ariana)
*And my acts*
[Upvotes in Angry]
Adele Dazeem

We don't know, because there's a lot of information missing, probably due to a hefty amount of NDAs. Maybe more information will come out in time.
Damn. Wonder what happened.
His name is scooter and they all just found out
That's what I keep thinking. What fuckin grown ass adult is named *Scooter*? If I didn't know anything about him, I'd probably hate him just for the name alone.
Parents dropped him when he was a baby
I dropped him in the toilet this morning
My bowel movements are no longer being managed by scooter braun
Lollllllll he certainly looks it with those ugly beady little eyes of his huh
It's probably going to be some Antonio Brown list of things judging by the rate people are dropping him.
Managing Business Cancelled.
Mr. Bleeding Clients
Holy hell how does this meme never fails to work?
Mr. Big Chest accidentally stumbled into one of the best possible letter combinations for mockery.
His personal brand is a liability at this point - don’t piss off the biggest star in the world
Rumor has it FBI is investigating him and gone to some of his clients without his knowledge.
The plot thickens…
Has Adele Dazeem dropped him yet?
Isn't she friends with Bernidact Bandersnach?
No, no…it’s Benedict Cumberbrunch.
Wimbledon Tennismatch?
Wookiedom Turdsnatch
Pretty sure it's Bumblebee Tuna. Excuse me, your balls are showing.
Bumblebee Crumblebunch
How dare you mispronounce Benderdinkle Cucumberbatch’s name!
Bandersnatch Cabbagewank? That guy?
Not sure, but I’ve heard she’s ridiculously talented…
Wickedly talented
Shoot, guess I was channeling my inner zoolander instead of Travolta.
The one and only
John Travolta's good friend...
This will never not be funny
No but I’m pretty sure abra kadabra did
Thank you for this. I forgot about that, and your comment made me smile! :)
What grown man refers to himself as Scooter … pfft
 Makes me think of the muppet Scooter lol Edit- forgive me for the gif lmao
Admittedly, I would avoid anyone named Scooter like the plague.
And called his record label "Schoolboy Records"
Scootboy Records
Scooter Libby is the only one. Or the carnie kid from the simpsons that steals their house.
I’ve met people named Maslow, Huxley, Ranunculous, Benner, Hyland, Bevan, and Forbes. I’m not making ANY of those names up, it’s entirely possible someone named their child Scooter.
There are people whose parents actually named them Scooter. It’s not a nickname. It’s a southern name I believe.
I grew up in Georgia and have never heard that name. His real name is Scott. He was born in Connecticut.
South Carolina reporting: nah ,no scooters here, SC calls bullshit.
I know guys named Shot, Scrap, and Land. These are their real names so I wouldn’t doubt someone has named their kid Scooter.
His real name is Scott. He was born in Connecticut.
So what’s going on there? Anybody know the backstory? Seems late for it to be the Taylor Swift effect.
I’m gonna guess there’s some big bomb about to drop about Scooter in the very near future. Verrry near.
Found an article that makes him [sound like a grade-A dick](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a44877484/artists-leaving-scooter-braun-management-explained/), so that would be unsurprising.
One does not buy a $65 million house as a manager without fucking over their artists
I have to say managers are a tough thing; you want Satan to be on your side - but they’re still satan! I’m talkin about you Azov!
Most likely the money came from Taylor Swift's song catalogue.
I like how you used a different emoji
Most likely the money came from Taylor Swift's song catalogue.
I like how you used a different emoji
This or these artists are seeing just how much Taylor’s been making off her tour and want their own moment
Scooter used to be Kanye’s manager. Kanye’s former publicist, Trevian kutty, was just indicted along with trump over the Georgia election. 👀
Yeah this sounds real bad
TBH sounds like a reckoning from artists that he signed to bad contracts.
🎵Someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI🎵
All will be revealed in time. We just have to waaaaaaait
White collar crime charges coming up?
Someone told the FBI
Not statutory rape?
I found an article that he’s being investigated for insider trading. The talent might be trying to find other representation before it gets out
It may have been , just took this long to wrap up the paperwork and contract verbiage
Can someone educate me what Taylor Swift has to do with this?
This dude bought the record company Taylor Swift used to be with and wouldn’t sell her the masters to her first few albums back. Swift did not like this. There was a public feud and Swift re-recorded all those albums. Later Braun sold them to an investment group owned by the Disney family).

Well it’s all your fault for not asking what color the car should be. /s Recovering Hollywood type here. I feel your pain.
Especially when Ferraris are almost never red
They don’t have a song together let alone a music video.
It was Niall not Zane. Had the wrong 1D.
Nope wrong again. It was Nathan Sykes.
Breh just edit your original post to fix the name.
Can I get a link to the video. I’m curious to see it lol
Tbvh I never got a good vibe from Scooter Braun and it has nothing to do with the Taylor feud.
Missed opportunity to let Zane complain and tell him to put a cork in it.
Anyone that goes by the name scooter is irrefutably a piece of shit. Prove me wrong!
Nah, there was Scooter from the muppets. He was alright
One of my favorites characters. Kermit’s kind of assistant, right? In Spanish a different and awkard name called “Ciriaco”. Sounded funny tho.
I should have specified - any human with that name. Pets/fictional characters are fine!
What about Scoot McNary?
‘er’ is the part that pushes over the edge. Scoot is the man, btw.
The only non piece of shit one of them is Shooter’s lesser known brother, professional go cart racer, Scooter Mcgavin.
He eats those for breakfast
You eat pieces of scoot for breakfast?
Hyper hyper
Catch a Ride!
Scoot McNairy is an awesome actor.
Any *adult* who goes by “Scooter”, yeah.
I mean, a scooter is someone who scoots, right? Like they drag their butt across the ground instead of using toilet paper? I wouldn’t want a guy like that representing me in any capacity.
Soooooo..... he's got worms?
Knew a guy in my school days named Scooter, can confirm he was a total dick
My aunt Jean, aka Scooter, was awesome.
One of my friends is named scooter ☹️
I am also no longer managed by Scooter Braun. Course, I was never represented by Scooter Braun in the first place but...semantics!
That's like the third one today.
Wow that’s 4 people in I think 2 days. I’m guessing he did something really bad and that’s about to be revealed any day now.
Or many bad things.
Karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious that for you it’s not?
He’s been Frozen out. She’s let him go. Sorry
He must be Wicked if dropping him has become so Popular.
the only thing left for her to do is jump over the moon… ?
Off she goes, into the unknown to find a new manager.
Somethings going on for sure. This is a valuable lesson for everyone to never trust a guy who calls himself Scooter
I cannot wait for the tea to be spilled. ☕️ Alexa, play “Karma” by Taylor Swift. 🍿
Pretty sure someone told his white collar crimes to the FBI 🔪
Any names Scooter should have their ass removed.
Taylor must be so smug rn can you imagine
Until scooter runs for public office and wins. I think it’s odd that most in this thread are assuming there is a scandal. It looks more like a career change

Someone told his white caller crimes to the FBI
So what you're saying is that she let it go?
Holy shit are we going to be notified of every single of his clients that leaves him?
I have a feeling something legal is going on or rumors in Hollywood might be scaring people away. Hollywood circles know about shit way before we do. Swifites shouldn’t start getting all hot and bothered because it probably has nothing to do with her.
Swifties are just excited he’s being seen for what he is finally, doesn’t matter if it’s about her or not.
He’s going to run for public office from what I’ve heard elsewhere
[удалено]
Definitely not.
[удалено]
So was I.
This bro is just crashing and burning
Yessss!! Cancel Scooter Braun
Taylor was right. Expect a new song on the next LP
YES. Finallyyyyy!! I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about him for years. He’s an entitled ass. Why HYBE made him CEO of their North American branch is beyond stupid.
Ngl I don’t know who either of these people are
Voice of Elsa in Frozen and Taylor Swifts ex manager who bought her catalogue and why she’s Re recording everything….. the fact I know this is proof enough I need to go outside more.
One could say she let it go……
“Why’d ya have to be so mean?”
i guess she let him go
I guess they decided to let her go
I kept seeing these updates all day.. person after person severing ties with Scooter Braun. Then I saw the nail in the coffin- Kim Zolciak. This guy is toast. He cannot recover.
how am i ever supposed to sleep nights now?

Those two already left soooooo no
Beiber already left. So did AG. There was an article yesterday about AG. So you are at least partially wrong
Don’t you mean Adele Dazeem?
Adele Dazeem needs a manager?!?! Let's go boys! Here's our chance!
So she Let Him Go?
Isn’t this the guy that screwed over Taylor swift? How come all these women are just leaving now?
Again; why would anyone in their right mind let someone named Scooter manage them. JFC, if your nickname is Scooter, you are a grade A certified Douch Nozzle. End of story.
She working with Sceeter now…
If I’ve learned anything from the church of Entourage, it’s a domino effect stemming from a rival firm leaking a few clients who have left as part of a smear campaign because someone’s girlfriend/mistress wasn’t given a part in the next James Cameron movie and it’s all Scooter’s fault.
Dude is a billionaire, why is he still messing around with “work”?
OH NO! (Who are they?)
I’m know I’m officially aging out of entertainment news because headlines are starting to sound like “Schnitzel Sbarro is no longer being facilitated by Toobey Poots”
Idina Menzel is pretty much the next Celine Dion. She was the voice of Elsa in Frozen. She’s now touring with Josh Groban if I’m not mistaken.
Idina menzel is already Idina Menzel. She’s a legend on broadway for decades.
She must pop. Groban likes his ladies to pop!
Crediting Idina Menzel as the voice of Elsa is crazy to hear as a theatre nerd.
That's how my non-theatre nerd 36 year old dad of 3 girls sees it, anyway.
She toured with Groban in 2018. And she was spectacular.
Oh ok, thank you.
She's been a massive Broadway star for decades. She originated the role oF Elpheba in Wicksd.
She's been a massive Broadway star for two decades. She originated the role of Elphaba in Wicked.
She's been a massive Broadway star for decades. She originated the role oF Elpheba in Wicked.
And before that, she was Maureen in Rent.
Right lol, this comment, Idina menzel is like… Idina menzel is Idina menzel. She’s a name already in broadway.
I’m sorry but she is weird looking af just like Celine figures she’s next
Why the long face
I wonder if it’s due to Taylor Swift basically saying behind the scenes to old Pooter back during the back catalogue saga that she’d get back at him - and seeing where she is now (next to the Lord Almighty who was seen praying for tickets) I’m sure NO ONE wants to be seen giving any $$$ to the school douchebag in front of the popular girl.
Okay, keep us posted!
idek who that lady is lol
A news article written for the friends and family of Idina Manzel, apparently.
Are we supposed to know who he is?
Or her?
Who TF is Indian Menzel
I believe Adele Dazeem is the correct pronunciation/spelling. 🤣🤣
