Douchebags Scooter Braun: A Gossip Mystery The Scooter Braun story is a mess… which is why I love it so much. And not for the same reason as the Swifties, who’ve been throwing a Scooter Braun is over party for days, but specifically because it’s so messy, because this gossip is so opaque, because By Lainey • Aug 23, 2023 02:49 pm
