Casey Wasserman Stays at the Helm of LA28 Olympics Amid Epstein Controversy
In a wave of backlash stemming from revelations in the Epstein files, Casey Wasserman has been supported by the LA28 board, reaffirming his position as chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. This support comes despite growing scrutiny and calls for his resignation from notable figures, including U.S. soccer legend Abby Wambach and various artists from the Wasserman Agency who have severed ties due to the emerging controversies. Emails linking Wasserman to Ghislaine Maxwell have fueled further outrage, causing significant upheaval within his music agency. While some artists and musicians threaten to leave unless Wasserman steps down, the L.A. Olympic committee has opted to back him, citing a review of the allegations. The ongoing fallout continues to prompt public calls for accountability from both local politicians and the entertainment industry.
