Chappell Roan Leaves Wasserman Agency as Epstein Document Revelations Fuel Scrutiny of LA2028 Chief

The move follows DOJ-released 2003 emails linking agency founder Casey Wasserman to Ghislaine Maxwell, a correspondence he has since apologized for.

Overview

  • Roan announced her immediate exit on Instagram, citing a duty to protect her team and a need for representation aligned with her values.
  • Other recent departures from the agency include Bethany Cosentino and Dropkick Murphys, with Billie Eilish having left in 2024.
  • The Justice Department’s late-January release of more than three million Epstein documents included flirtatious emails from 2003 between Casey Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Wasserman has expressed deep regret over the emails, stated he had no personal or professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and said a 2002 flight on Epstein’s jet was a Clinton Foundation humanitarian trip.
  • No criminal wrongdoing has been alleged against Wasserman, and U.S. Olympic officials say they continue to support his leadership of the Los Angeles 2028 organizing committee.
