The cast of Succession looked to the future as their time on the hit HBO family drama wrapped up. Since the start, fans have loved Cousin Greg and have wanted to know all about Nicholas Braun’s thoughts on playing his character and all about his New York City bar and restaurant. Without a doubt, the show worked so well due to the cast which included Kieran Culkin, Alan Ruck, Sarah Snook, and Jeremy Strong. But Nicholas has been a stand-out. As Succession ended after four seasons, troublesome allegations against Nicholas have come to light.
While these allegations have not been proven, several women have come forward. Here’s everything to know about what Nicholas Braun is being accused of…
Updated September 2024: This article has been updated to reflect the most recent information regarding Nicholas Braun and his scandalous dating life.
What Are The Allegations Against Succession’s Nicholas Braun?
The allegations against Nicholas Braun speak to him having inappropriate relationships with minors
Several women have alleged that Nicholas Braun acted inappropriately toward them, according to Your Tango. The allegations are of a sexual nature and began with a post on TikTok. While the person has gotten rid of this video, they said that they were 16 years old when they met Nicholas at Coachella.
“He invited me back to his hotel room, I told him I was in high school. He didn’t care.”
The TikTok creatror said that they didn’t go to his hotel room and then were told that he had slept with a classmate of theirs.
Nothing has been proven, so Nicholas is clearly innocent until if and when he’s proven not to be. However, there seem to be DMs and text messages between Nicholas and several girls. Many of these screenshots are on the Twitter account @nballegations.
The account started on May 4th, 2023. As a pinned post explains, “this account will document all allegations against actor Nicholas Braun (often better known as “Greg” from Succession). Stories were either publicly posted or we received explicit permission to share.”
The Twitter account @nballegations has screenshots of women alleging that Braun messaged them. These screenshots are all anonymous.
“When I was 15 I was on a livestream with him and a friend of his and I put my number in the chat and he called me. This was 2009.”
On May 4th, 2023, the Twitter account posted that Nicholas “has a strange affinity following underage g*rls on social media. We do have screenshots/photos of their accounts, but don’t feel they’re appropriate to post.”
The Twitter account mentioned that Nicholas has stopped following a number of Instagram profiles recently.
The Twitter account shared an article from Your Tango that shared some of what Nicholas and Dax Shepard talked about when Nicholas was interviewed on his Armchair Expert podcast.
The actor said that DeuxMoi would often post about him being seen out in public with someone he seemed to be dating.
“In 2019, I was sort of like, ‘cool, this is fun, we can hook up, or we can date, it can be the common route of dating or just hooking up. And yeah,
Deux Moi
would see me, and things like that, but I didn’t really care that much. It’s not shameful for me to be with a girl as a single man.”
Nicholas mentioned that he is the co-owner of Ray’s, a bar in the Lower East Side in New York City, along with Justin Theroux. According to Your Tango, someone said on Reddit that he would allegedly become intimate with women in their 20s who he met at the bar. There is no way of knowing if this is true or not unless more information comes out, but there are several Reddit posts that share similar stories.
Your Tango also shared that people said on Twitter and Reddit that Nicholas would go to bars and look for women who were attending college.
Again, none of this has been proven, and Nicholas doesn’t appear to have responded to the allegations.
Who Has Nicholas Braun Dated?
Nicholas Braun was most notably linked to Camilla Engstrom in the past
According to Us Weekly, Nicholas was previously in a relationship with Camilla Engstrom. In 2020, Nicholas wrote a song about dating during the COVID-19 pandemic called “Antibodies (Do You Have The)” and she was in the music video for it. Camilla is an artist and shares her colorful paintings on her website, along with her backstory and where people can see her work. This relationship didn’t last for a very long time, however.
Nicholas was interviewed by Rolling Stone and he explained why he wrote the song.
“My friends are a couple and they’ve been together for years, but I was back there sort of being like, ‘Man, I wish I had somebody right now to go through this with.’ And so this girl and I were talking and we were like, ‘Maybe we should go meet up and go for a walk — with bandanas on.’”
Nicholas continued, “So I went on this quarantine date; it sort of felt secret because I didn’t want my friends to know. And I guess the combination of paranoia and romance is what the song is about.”
If Nicholas has dated anyone besides Camilla, he hasn’t spoken about it, and there doesn’t seem to be any information about it. The actor doesn’t post photos of anyone he dates on his Instagram account and focuses on video clips from interviews he has done. Nicholas also often posts magazine covers he is on or other press for his acting career. He has talked about his dating life in interviews, though.
In 2021, the actor was interviewed by The New York Times. While he did talk about playing Greg on Succession and his acting career, he also talked about his personal life. Nicholas said that he had never dated anyone for a long time.
“I haven’t really been in a long-term relationship, ever. “I do yearn for it and yet I’m incapable of it. I go toward it and then I hit a wall where I’m like, I can’t go farther into this. I’ve got to exit.”
Nicholas also said in his New York Times interview, “I do believe it’ll happen at the right time with the right person. Until then, it’s fun to meet people and see what works.”
