Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino Urges Casey Wasserman to Step Down After Epstein File Emails

Her open letter intensifies pressure on the LA28 chair, who denies ties to Epstein, with no criminal charges filed.

Overview

  • Cosentino asked Wasserman to resign, rebrand his company, and remove her and Best Coast’s names from the agency website.
  • Justice Department records released January 30 include 2001–2003 messages between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, featuring flirtatious emails referencing a “tight leather outfit” and massages.
  • Wasserman apologized for the decades‑old correspondence, said he never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and cited a 2002 Clinton Foundation humanitarian trip on Epstein’s plane.
  • L.A. County Supervisor Janice Hahn has called for Wasserman to relinquish his role as chair of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics organizing committee.
  • The IOC offered no further comment beyond Wasserman’s statement, and he remains CEO of Wasserman Group and chair of LA28 without any criminal allegations tied to the disclosures.
