"become a distraction"
"I'm deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort,"
"It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about."
"I did not consent to having my name or my career tied to someone with this kind of association to exploitation,"
Casey Wasserman announced the sale of his eponymous talent agency, stating he had become a distraction to the firm's work and will focus on planning the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Longtime executive Mike Watts will manage day-to-day operations going forward. The Department of Justice released files that included flirtatious emails between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell and noted a 2002 flight on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane tied to a humanitarian trip. Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal sentence; Epstein died by suicide in 2019 after a sex-trafficking conviction. The revelations prompted resignations and demands from represented artists for Wasserman to step down.
