After a report accusing talent mogul Casey Wasserman of multiple extramarital affairs, Billie Eilish has reportedly dropped him. Here’s the latest.
A report published two weeks ago claims to have eleven sources that have accused the talent mogul of being a serial cheater. It suggests Wasserman ‘love bombed’ women with expensive gifts before dropping them after the conquest. Wasserman is the Chairman of the LA 2028 Olympic committee. These sources claim Wasserman began cheating on his wife with his assistant five years into his marriage in 2006 and is accused of a string of other romantic relationships with employees.
The Wasserman CEO served as live booking representation for Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas—though Eilish dropped Wasserman after the allegations. According to TheWrap, Eilish felt “very upset” about the allegations and prepared to part ways in the last two weeks before dropping the news on Tuesday. Billie Eilish sang alongside The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Snoop Dogg for the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday.
“While grateful to their former live booking agents at Wasserman, Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell have opted to have film, TV, and music handled by the same agency, WME, moving forward,” a spokesperson for Eilish told TheWrap in comment on the situation. Wasserman Music acquired Paradigm Talent Agency’s North American live music representation business in 2021, bringing Eilish into the Wasserman fold.
Representatives for Casey Wasserman have not commented on Eilish’s departure or any of the allegations made in the Daily Mail report released on August 1. All of the eleven women cited in the report have remained anonymous due to “fear of social or legal consequences for speaking out about [Wasserman’s] infidelity.”
Other artists on the Wasserman Music roster include Kenny Chesney, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, The Lumineers, Dave Matthews Band, Janelle Monáe, Kacey Musgraves, Old Dominion, Phish, Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Sturgill Simpson, Black Pumas, Brandi Carlile, Tyler Childers, Kaytranada, Normani, Run the Jewls, Tash Sultana, Diplo, DJ Snake, Flume, Jack Harlow, ODESZA, and Skrillex.
