The controversy surrounding Wasserman intensified after it was revealed that he communicated with Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Epstein. In a 2003 email, Wasserman made unsettling remarks to Maxwell, prompting scrutiny of his character and relationships. “I think of you all the time. So, what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?” he wrote, which has raised eyebrows and fueled speculation about his judgment.
Chappell Roan said she holds her team to high moral standards.
Wasserman responded to the allegations, stating, “I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago.” He also clarified that he did not have a personal or business relationship with Epstein, mentioning a humanitarian trip he took with the Clinton Foundation in 2002.
Casey Wasserman denied any personal ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in s-- trafficking minors, and the release of additional Epstein-related documents has kept the public’s attention on the scandal.
Roan's decision to leave Wasserman highlights the importance of accountability in the entertainment industry. “Artists deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity,” she emphasized.
