"Wasserman has spent the last few years positioning himself as two things at once: the benevolent power broker behind half of Hollywood's entertainment infrastructure, and the guy polishing Los Angeles' halo ahead of the 2028 Olympics. Both versions took a serious hit last week, when newly released Epstein files revealed a string of flirtatious emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell-and one of his own artists promptly called bullshit on the idea that this is just an awkward misunderstanding they're all supposed to swallow and move on from."
"The documents, published by the Department of Justice as part of its massive Epstein disclosure, include 2003 emails in which Maxwell, now serving a 20‑year sentence for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, jokes about wearing a "tight leather flying suit," offers massages "that drive a man wild," and signs off from her private jet."
"Wasserman responds like a desperate blue-check pornbot on X: "I think of you all the time... So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?"; "Where are you, I miss you... can we book that massage now?"; "You, me, and not else much [sic]..." He has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing, and in a statement blasted out to multiple outlets, he insisted he "never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein," framing the whole thing as an ancient lapse in judgment that predates "[Maxwell's] horrific crimes" coming to light and noting that his time on Epstein's plane was a Clinton Foundation humanitarian trip-all claims that both I and Best Coast frontwoman Bethany Cosentino find, to put it mildly, rather unconvincing."
A cache of 2003 emails between Casey Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced in Department of Justice Epstein disclosures, showing flirtatious exchanges and suggestive language. Maxwell, now imprisoned for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse minors, sent messages referencing tight leather outfits and provocative massages. Wasserman replied with explicit, eager lines and later issued statements denying a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while framing encounters as distant lapses and humanitarian travel. The revelations undermined Wasserman's roles in entertainment and Los Angeles 2028 Olympics positioning and provoked skepticism from industry figures and one of his own artists.
