Casey Wasserman set to sell stake in agency following fallout

Following a massive fallout and response from artists of all fields, Casey Wasserman has revealed he will sell his stake in the talent agency that bears his name. The superstar agent has faced increased public pressure since his name was revealed in the recently released Epstein files.

The backlash from sports and music talent has been public and decisive when it was revealed that Casey Wasserman had a personal relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell years ago. Maxwell is currently in prison for sex trafficking, as the public is continuing to learn about the deep ties and privileged elite involved with Jeffrey Epstein. In recent days, former US Women’s soccer star Abby Wambach, as well as artists such as Chappelle Roan and John Summit, have called for Wasserman to step down from the agency or they would seek other representation. Despite Wasserman not facing any criminal charges for his relationship, the backlash has been swift and decisive from many of the agency’s clientele.

Reports from the New York Times and Billboard indicate that Casey Wasserman is now looking to sell his Los Angeles agency in light of the allegations. His decision to step down will ease public pressure from clients calling out the company’s namesake for his past behavior. While he will leave the agency he helped build up, his place on the Olympic 2028 committee remains firmly in place. As more details emerged in 2024, reports revealed that Casey Wasserman had several extramarital affairs, including several with employees. The spotlight on his past relationships and behavior has been a major story life in the entertainment industry this week, and the sale of his company is a major step as he looks to assess and repair his public image.
