\n\tFollowing the likes of Chappell Roan<\/a>, Orville Peck and Abby Wambach, DJ and record producer John Summit<\/a> is threatening to leave Wasserman<\/a> Media Group.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter founder and CEO Casey Wasserman<\/a>\u2018s association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a> came to light in the Department of Justice\u2019s recent release of files, Summit has called on the marketing and talent agency boss to resign.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf Casey Wasserman doesn\u2019t step down, I will not remain with the agency,\u201d he wrote on X<\/a>. \u201cHis actions do not reflect the integrity of the agents I work with, and if change does not happen, we will take our talents elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSummit explained in another post<\/a>, \u201cThis is a whole team decision that I was not gonna do an impulse tweet about. Also have zero plans on leaving my agents who aren\u2019t involved in this so it\u2019s been an ongoing process how to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Wasserman said in a statement that he\u2019s \u201cterribly sorry<\/a>\u201d for associating with Maxwell back in 2002, years before she was arrested in 2020 and charged with assisting Epstein with his sexual abuse of minors.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell<\/a> which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,\u201d said Wasserman. \u201cI never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdding to Wasserman\u2019s woes, a series of Los Angeles politicians, including newly minted mayoral candidate and two-term City Council member Nithya Raman, have called the 2028 Olympics chair a growing \u201cdistraction\u201d to the Games and the City of Angels.<\/p>\n

\n\tMaxwell was convicted in 2021 on five counts of sex trafficking and abuse of minors, for which she was given 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
