American talent agent Casey Wasserman is reportedly preparing to sell his agency due to revelations linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, leading several high-profile clients to exit.

Casey Wasserman, a prominent talent agent, is set to sell his agency in the wake of documents suggesting connections to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The publication of these documents has caused a backlash, with major clients departing and Wasserman acknowledging he has become 'a distraction'. While he has expressed deep regret over his past associations, he maintains that he has not been accused of wrongdoing related to Epstein's activities.

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.

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 stated that he had no personal or business relationship with Epstein.

In a memo to staff, Wasserman expressed: I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort. 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. He later stated that he deeply regrets his interactions with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for facilitating Epstein's crimes. Wasserman stated that his emails with Maxwell were from two decades ago, long before her criminal activities came to light.

Despite the troubling connections, Wasserman has not been accused of any wrongdoing by Epstein's victims. The appearance of his name in documents does not imply any criminal activity.

Earlier this week, organizers of the LA28 games announced that Wasserman would remain chairman after reviewing his past interactions with Maxwell, concluding that they did not go beyond documented exchanges and that he had fully cooperated during investigations.

In a statement, the LA28 board noted that Wasserman and his then-wife had flown on a humanitarian mission to Africa on Epstein's plane in 2003, a trip organized by the Clinton Foundation, well before the public became aware of Epstein’s and Maxwell's deplorable actions.

A number of notable clients have left Wasserman's agency in recent days, including singer Chappell Roan, who stated on Instagram that no one should be expected to overlook actions that clash with their moral values. Former U.S. soccer player Abby Wambach has also announced her departure from the agency, asserting her commitment to her own values.
