""As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman," Roan began. "I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values. I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to passively stand by.""
""I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light," Wasserman shared at the time. "I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.""
Chappell Roan announced her departure from Wasserman Agency, citing CEO Casey Wasserman's involvement in the Epstein files and a duty to protect her team. Other musicians and bands, including Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino, Beach Bunny, and Wednesday, publicly called for Wasserman's removal or left the agency. Documents allege Wasserman had a romantic relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell between 2001 and 2003. Wasserman apologized for past correspondence with Maxwell, denied any personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and referenced a 2002 humanitarian trip as part of a Clinton Foundation delegation on Epstein's plane. Wasserman serves on the LA28 committee, where calls for his removal have surfaced.
