Talent Agency CEO’s Epstein Email Strategy: Apologize, Repeat, Then Watch Stars Quit
KEY POINTS
- •Chappell Roan announced her departure from Wasserman Music after CEO Casey Wasserman was linked to Epstein through DOJ documents.
- •Emails from 2003 between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced, prompting Watersman’s apology and sparking departures of several artists.
- •Despite Wasserman’s claim of no wrongdoing and distancing from Epstein, multiple artists including Beach Bunny and Wednesday have left the agency recently.
Chappell Roan, born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz (yes, the full Hollywood alias makeover), just dropped Wasserman Music like a hot mixtape after CEO Casey Wasserman turned up in a new batch of DOJ Epstein files—emails from 2003 showing mildly flirtatious exchanges with infamous Ghislaine Maxwell. He apologized January 31, claiming it was 'long before her horrific crimes,' while also mentioning a 2002 humanitarian Epstein-plane trip with the Clinton Foundation, which sounds like the least reassuring humblebrag ever. Roan’s exit follows recent departures by Beach Bunny, Wednesday, and Bethany Cosentino amidst the agency’s Epstein-related turbulence, and even Billie Eilish already fled in 2024 for 'other reasons,' as the talent exodus tap dance gets weirder.
