"Our 4,000 employees are the absolute best in the business. I see you put it all on the line for your clients every day. Our clients expect - and deserve - world-class representation. And that's exactly what they get because of all of you. At this moment, I believe that I have become a distraction to those efforts. That is why I have begun the process of selling the company, an effort that is already underway."
"Hopefully by now you know the facts about my limited interactions with those two individuals, It was years before their criminal conduct came to light, and, in its entirety, consisted of one humanitarian trip to Africa and a handful of emails that I deeply regret sending. And I'm heartbroken that my brief contact with them 23 years ago has caused you, this company, and its clients so much hardship over the past days and weeks."
Casey Wasserman, chair of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics and an entertainment executive, is selling his talent agency amid backlash over past ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Documents released by the Justice Department showed flirtatious emails exchanged with Maxwell in 2003. Wasserman said the correspondence occurred years before their crimes and expressed regret, noting his interactions consisted of one humanitarian trip to Africa and a handful of emails. Wasserman said he believes he has become a distraction and began the sale process. He has not been accused of wrongdoing. Some clients, including singer Chappell Roan, have left the agency.
