He was a consummate power broker, someone who controlled the careers of prominent musicians, actors and athletes through the talent agency named after him, cultivated relationships in local and national politics, raised money for key election contests, endowed civic buildings and, through his family wealth, gave lavishly to social causes. When Los Angeles hosted the Super Bowl in 2022, Wasserman chaired the host committee, and his client Kendrick Lamar featured prominently in the half-time show's all-star lineup.

Dozens of Southern California politicians on Wednesday said that Casey Wasserman needs to step down from overseeing the 2028 Olympics - the latest push to oust the embattled mogul in the aftermath of the latest Epstein files release. The Los Angeles County legislative delegation, which represents 37 state senators and Assembly members, said in a statement that Wasserman should resign.

"In light of the recent findings regarding Casey Wasserman, I have made the decision to no longer be represented by the Wasserman talent agency. "My heartfelt thanks goes out to my personal team, some of whom I have respected, trusted and worked with for close to a decade. "I leave with a huge amount of compassion for the rest of the agents and staff at the agency, who are being left with a situation that impacts all of our work and livelihoods," he concluded.

"As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman," Roan began. "I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values. I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to passively stand by."
