Pop star Chappell Roan announced on Monday that she has dropped Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman, due to his past email exchanges with Ghislaine Maxwell. The emails, revealed in recently released Epstein files, were described as flirtatious and occurred in 2003. Wasserman, who leads the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics effort, has apologized for communicating with Maxwell before her crimes were known and denied any personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Roan stated her decision reflects a need for representation that aligns with her values and supports artist safety and dignity. Wasserman's agency has not yet commented on the matter. Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking of a minor.
