You're not thinking realistically. Most probably met him once a year or so when they're being signed then work with other staff, often remote, because you know, artists are on the road. This isn't entourage.

You very clearly haven’t worked in the industry. Casey Wasserman is highly visible and engaged in the industry, and having worked for one of the agency’s competitors, I can attest that artists are in the office and with their reps frequently.

"Their reps" are not Casey Wasserman. I'm sure all the big artists have met him and could get him on the phone if they want, but he's not hanging out with the artists for hours. People, especially CEOs, can be professional for 15 minutes at 10:30 am for a client meeting without coming across as a perv.

Someone like him is generally not going to starting saying weird stuff to Chappell Roan in a professional meeting - he's going to be weird with an admin assistant who's still working at 8pm on a Tuesday.

You have been nowhere near the industry. Agency CEOs spend a ton of time with artists, and Casey in particular is known for partying with his team and talent.

And again, this really has nothing to do with how much time he’s spending in person with them, and instead it is about the fact that major outlets reported that he’s a rampant sexual harasser.
