Casey Wasserman to Sell Talent Agency Amid Epstein Fallout

Casey Wasserman, the Hollywood talent agent and chair of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, is in the process of selling his talent agency following revelations of his connections to Ghislaine Maxwell disclosed in the Epstein files. The fallout from these revelations has led to significant backlash, with numerous artists and staff members expressing their desire for Wasserman to step down, while some have already severed ties with his agency. Despite the turmoil, the LA28 Olympic organizing committee has stated their continued support for him. As Wasserman faces a growing exodus of talent and calls for his resignation, he claims that he has become a distraction, prompting his decision to focus on the Olympic Games instead.
