Dance music titan John Summit has joined the growing list of artists threatening to leave the Wasserman agency over founder and CEO Casey Wasserman<\/strong>\u2018s ties to convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and Epstein\u2019s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf casey wasserman doesn\u2019t step down, i will not remain with the agency,\u201d Summit wrote via X<\/a> and Instagram on Thursday (Feb. 12). \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

In response to a comment on his original X post thanking him for coming forward, Summit said he had \u201czero plans on leaving [his] agents,\u201d adding, \u201cthey aren\u2019t involved in this so it\u2019s been an ongoing process how to deal with this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summit is one of the biggest artists yet to speak out on the ongoing controversy, which began after the latest tranche of Epstein files revealed scores of emails between Casey Wasserman and Maxwell, who was is now serving a 20-year prison sentence on sex trafficking convictions. Earlier this week, artists including Chappell Roan, Dropkick Murphys and Orville Peck said they had left the agency over the revelations. Several others, like Summit, have threatened to leave if Wasserman remains in charge.<\/p>\n

In a statement sent to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/em> after the emails were uncovered, Wasserman \u2014 who is also chair of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, which recently said Wasserman would continue in his post despite multiple calls for him to step down \u2014 wrote, \u201cI deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light. I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. 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
