US EditionLA28 chief Casey Wasserman to sell talent agency amid Epstein controversy: Report
Casey Wasserman begins selling his Los Angeles-based agency after client departures triggered by emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, with 4,000 employees affected, officials said.
- On Feb 13, the Wall Street Journal reported that Casey Wasserman, LA28 Olympics chief and CEO of the Wasserman Group, said he had 'become a distraction' and is putting his agency up for sale.
- After the DOJ's unsealing of files this month, the U.S. Department of Justice released an additional 3 million pages including a 2002 flight and 2003 email exchanges with Ghislaine Maxwell.
- A dozen music and sports clients pulled out of the agency in the last week, including Grammy-winning artist Chappell Roan, singer-songwriter Orville Peck and musical duo Sylvan Esso.
- The LA28 executive committee said Wasserman should continue to lead, as Watts will assume daily control during his focus on the 2028 Games.
- Groups of agents are exploring buyouts or spin-offs as Wasserman Music holds 18% of Movement's bookings, risking shifts that could reshape the live-booking market.
