Prominent American agent Casey Wasserman is reportedly set to sell his talent company after documents linking him to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were published in the US. Several high profile clients, including singer Chappell Roan, quit the firm this week after it emerged he flew on Epstein's private plane and exchanged flirtatious emails with Maxwell in 2003. US media reported Wasserman told employees he had 'become a distraction' as he announced his intention to sell the major LA-based agency. The 51-year-old, who has also resisted calls to stand down from his role as chair of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, previously said he had no 'personal or business relationship' with Epstein. 'I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort,' Wasserman wrote in a memo on Friday, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. He continued: 'It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about.' Wasserman has stated he 'deeply regrets' his discussions with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for facilitating the sexual abuse of teenage girls by Epstein. He maintains that his emails with Maxwell occurred over two decades ago, long before her crimes were revealed. Importantly, Wasserman has not been accused of wrongdoing by any of Epstein's victims, and his name appearing in the files does not imply criminal behavior. Earlier this week, the LA28 organizing committee confirmed that Wasserman would remain as chairman of the 2028 games after reviewing his past interactions with Maxwell, finding no additional concerning connections and acknowledging his cooperation with investigations. The board clarified that Wasserman and his then-wife had flown on Epstein's plane for a humanitarian mission to Africa, invited by the Clinton Foundation, prior to the public awareness of Epstein and Maxwell's crimes. Following the scandal, several high-profile entertainers have distanced themselves from Wasserman's agency. Chappell Roan publicly announced her departure, stating, 'No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values.' Abby Wambach, a former US footballer, echoed similar sentiments in her resignation announcement, emphasizing her decision was guided by her principles.
