Prominent American agent Casey Wasserman is reportedly set to sell his talent company after documents linking him to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were published in the US. Several high profile clients, including singer Chappell Roan, quit the firm this week after it emerged he flew on Epsteins private plane and exchanged flirtatious emails with Maxwell in 2003. US media reported Wasserman told employees he had become a distraction as he announced his intention to sell the major LA-based agency. The 51-year-old, who has also resisted calls to stand down from his role as chair of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, previously said he had no personal or business relationship with Epstein. Im deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort, Wasserman wrote in a memo on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported. He continued: Its not fair to you, and its not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about. Wasserman has said he deeply regrets his discussions with Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for facilitating the sexual abuse of teenage girls by Epstein. He said his emails with Maxwell took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light. Wasserman has not been accused of wrongdoing by any of Epsteins victims, and the appearance of his name in the files does not imply criminal activity of any kind. Earlier this week, LA28 said Wasserman would remain chairman of the 2028 games after organisers reviewed his past interactions with Maxwell. They found his relationship did not go further than the exchanges that had already been documented, and that he had fully cooperated with an investigation. In a statement, the LA28 board said Wasserman and his then-wife flew on a humanitarian mission to Africa on Epsteins plane at the invitation of the Clinton Foundation in 2003. The board said the journey was long before Wasserman or the public knew of Epstein and Maxwells deplorable crimes. This was his single interaction with Epstein. Shortly after, he traded the publicly-known emails with Maxwell, the statement continued. A number of stars have have walked away from Wassermans agency in recent days. In an Instagram post on Tuesday, singer Chappell Roan announced that she would no longer be working with Wasserman. She said: No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values. Roan did not specifically mention the Epstein-related documents in her statement. Former US footballer player Abby Wambach also said she was leaving the agency, saying: I know what I know and I am following my gut and values. I will not participate in any business arrangement under his leadership. The US Secretary of State reassures European leaders that the Trump administration backs the transatlantic alliance.
