"As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,"
"I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values."
"I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to passively stand by. Artists deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity. This decision reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust."
"I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell. I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,"
Wasserman has not been accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, but Justice Department documents show he exchanged flirtatious emails with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003. An artist announced ending representation by the Wasserman talent agency and cited a duty to protect teams, moral values, and the need for accountability and leadership. Wasserman issued an apology, expressing deep regret for the correspondence and saying it occurred long before Maxwell’s crimes came to light. He also stated he never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and that a 2002 trip with Clinton was the only time he met Epstein.
