Hollywood Agent Sells Company Because Olympic Drama Beats Email Scandal

KEY POINTS

•Casey Wasserman revealed on Friday night that he is selling his Hollywood talent agency amid controversy over emails linked to Ghislaine Maxwell.
•Grammy-winning pop star Chappell Roan and U.S. Soccer legend Abby Wambach publicly left Wasserman’s agency citing moral concerns in early February 2026.
•While Mike Watts takes over daily operations, Wasserman plans to focus on organizing the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games despite pressure to resign.

Casey Wasserman, rockstar Hollywood talent agent and chair of LA28 Olympics, tries juggling a $multimillion career while sending weirdly suggestive emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. Grammy winner Chappell Roan and soccer legend Abby Wambach abruptly said 'no thanks' and left his agency after Epstein-file leaks in early 2026 shook up his client list. On a Friday night email, Casey sweet-talked 4,000 employees praising their excellence—while sheepishly admitting, 'I have become a distraction,' so he’s selling the agency. Meanwhile, Mike Watts steps up to run business operations as Wasserman devotes himself to delivering an Olympic Games 'worthy' of Los Angeles’ glare—and eternal gossip.
