Scooter Braun has taken to Instagram to tell everyone about the plight his family is currently undergoing, with death threats and confrontation abound. “Your words carry a tremendous amount of weight,” he wrote.
Scooter Braun has issued his first individual comments since Taylor Swift went public with a dispute over public performances of her Big Machine catalogue, with the music mogul saying his family has since been the target of “numerous death threats.”
The individual commentary comes shortly after Big Machine themselves issued a statement against Taylor Swift, calling her claims “false information.”
In a late-night Instagram post, with comments turned all the way off, Braun mentioned that in this time of violence and “toxic division”, all he wants is peace for his family in these trying times. He also mentions that he was “disheartened” to hear that Swift had been so negatively treated by his very own label Big Machine, despite having a history of having a hand to play in the behind the scenes slow-corrosion of multiple artists.
In the post he writes:
“…I came home tonight to find my wife had received a phone call threatening the safety of our children as well as other threats seen above,” Braun writes. “Thinking of my wife and children, my team and their families, I have gone through a range of emotions on how to deal with this. I write this now after a deep breath and much reflection. I am certain there is no situation ever worth jeopardizing anyone’s safety.”
Braun goes on to tell Swift that her “words carry a tremendous amount of weight and that your message can be interpreted by some in different ways.” He closes his post by claiming his team notified Swift’s attorney “4 days ago” of the threats, but that there has been no response. “I’m still hopeful we can fix this,” he writes.
