"Scooter Braun tried to buy OnlyFans but came down with a bit of anxiety when it was time to perform, according to a new report in The music mogul, longtime Taylor Swift antagonist, and current Sydney Sweeney agonist (that's a joke for my knows-a-bit-of-chemistry homies) led a purchasing group that valued OnlyFans at $8 billion. Braun was set to serve as the "face and brains" of the porn-adjacent platform - because after all, what OnlyFans user wouldn't want to close their eyes and think of that face?"
"But alas, the deal suffered from contractile dysfunction. According to Puck, Braun "likely realized that every controversy about abuse on the platform would forever generate his name in the headline." In other words, Braun eventually remembered that all those boobs are attached to real people, some of whom would not have shown said boobs if not for unspeakable horrors. In that sense, Braun's hardly the first person to think porn would be a fun way to make money until he spent just a little time thinking it through."
Scooter Braun led a purchasing group that valued OnlyFans at $8 billion and planned to serve as the platform's "face and brains." He initially pursued the porn-adjacent service but experienced anxiety about taking on that public role. Reporting indicated Braun likely realized that every controversy about abuse on the platform would forever attach his name to negative headlines. Braun also recognized that many creators are real people, some of whom may have been driven to share content by traumatic circumstances. Braun ultimately stepped away from the deal, reflecting reputational and ethical concerns surrounding adult-content platforms.
