- Roan said on Feb. 9 she is no longer represented by Wasserman Music, citing the need for representation that aligns with her values and protects her team’s dignity and safety.
- Other acts announced exits or distancing, including Wednesday, Sylvan Esso, Beach Bunny, Water From Your Eyes, Dropkick Murphys and Chelsea Cutler, with several urging leadership accountability.
- Justice Department records released under a new transparency law include 2003 emails in which Wasserman sent flirtatious messages to Maxwell, such as asking to see her in a “tight leather suit.”
- Wasserman apologized for the decades-old correspondence, said he had no personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, confirmed a 2002 flight as part of a Clinton Foundation delegation, and has not been accused of a crime.
- Los Angeles officials, including Janice Hahn and Lena González, called for Wasserman to step down from the LA2028 organizing committee, while the IOC’s Nicole Hoevertsz expressed confidence in him and the agency removed its public artist roster amid pressure.
