Casey Wasserman is reportedly selling his talent agency after documents revealed his past association with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The documents showed Wasserman flew on Epstein's plane and exchanged emails with Maxwell in 2003, leading to several high-profile clients leaving the agency. Wasserman stated he became a "distraction" and expressed regret for his past interactions, which occurred before Maxwell's crimes were known. While Wasserman has not been accused of any wrongdoing, the controversy prompted his decision to sell the LA-based agency. He will remain chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after a review found his relationship with Maxwell was limited and he cooperated with the investigation.
