Wasserman has faced growing scrutiny in recent weeks after a trove of Justice Department documents included a series of flirty emails between him and Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator, convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, from 2003.
The emails prompted five Los Angeles City Council members, two county supervisors and the city controller to call for Wasserman to step aside. Then, celebrities started dropping Wasserman’s talent agency, including Chappell Roan and soccer star Abby Wambach.
I’m honestly baffled how Americans in particular seem to be failing this barebones moral test
I feel like the people do want to, but at basically every level the government is blocking any action.
You just (presumably) read an article about how multiple high profile, powerful people dropped him like a hot potato and how city council members and other local leaders are trying to pressure him out. This isn’t something Angelenos want or chose, we didn’t get to vote for any of this.
