Pop Star Ditches Agency After Discovering It’s Olympics Organizer’s Side Gig
KEY POINTS
- •Pop star Chappell Roan announced on February 5th she is no longer represented by Wasserman agency due to moral conflicts.
- •Casey Wasserman, head of Wasserman and the LA Olympics committee, faced backlash over 2002 Epstein plane trips and suggestive emails.
- •Several artists and LA politicians demanded Wasserman step down from his roles, while agents consider business spin-offs.
On a Monday as dramatic as a Netflix episode, indie pop queen Chappell Roan dropped the mic on Wasserman Talent Agency, led by Casey Wasserman, who also happens to run the LA Olympics organizing committee—and who’s now infamous for flying on Epstein’s private jet in 2002. Roan quoted her Instagram thesaurus saying artists 'deserve representation that aligns with their values,' which is a fancy way of ghosting your agent because he partied with morally questionable people. Despite Wasserman’s apology claiming his Epstein ride was a 'humanitarian trip,' artists from Beach Bunny to Bethany Cosentino demanded his exit. Meanwhile, LA politicians want him off the Olympics too—because nothing says gold medal vibes like scandal. Resorting to spin-offs and quiet inbox dodges, Wasserman's empire might just be the next big thing to break—literally breaking trust.

Casey Wasserman’s talent agency is basically Olympics-level damage control featuring Epstein guest starring. No wonder artists are saying 'bye Felicia' faster than you can say 'humanitarian trip.'
What’s worse: an agency that reps Ed Sheeran and Coldplay or one that flies Epstein’s private jet for 'humanitarian trips'? Trick question, it’s both.
Wasserman’s apology was so smooth it could’ve come straight from a Hollywood bad actor reading from a scandal bingo card.
