John Summit Demands Wasserman Founder Resign Over Epstein/Maxwell Links
DJ and record producer John Summit is urging Wasserman Media Group founder Casey Wasserman to resign. This demand follows revelations about Wasserman’s past associations with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. As part of the recent Department of Justice file releases, these connections have come under scrutiny.
John Summit’s Demand for Resignation
Summit publicly stated his position on social media, declaring, “If Casey Wasserman doesn’t step down, I will not remain with the agency.” He emphasized that Wasserman’s actions contradict the integrity of the agents he collaborates with. If no changes occur, Summit hinted at taking his talents elsewhere.
A Collaborative Decision
In a follow-up post, Summit clarified that his decision was not impulsive. He noted it was a collective decision involving his team, highlighting their ongoing process in dealing with the situation. He plans to maintain his relationships with agents unaffected by Wasserman’s actions.
Wasserman’s Apology and Regrets
Earlier this month, Wasserman issued an apology regarding his past connection with Maxwell. He expressed remorse for associating with her in 2002, before her criminal activities were publicly known. Wasserman stated, “I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,” adding that his only involvement was a humanitarian trip with the Clinton Foundation.
The Fallout in Los Angeles
Adding to Wasserman’s challenges, several Los Angeles politicians are voicing concerns over his continued leadership, describing it as a distraction for the city and the upcoming 2028 Olympics. Notably, Nithya Raman, a two-term City Council member and new mayoral candidate, has been vocal about these issues.
The Maxwell Case
Ghislaine Maxwell, associated with these controversies, was convicted in 2021 on multiple counts, including sex trafficking and abuse of minors. She received a 20-year prison sentence, highlighting the severity of the charges against her.
