Casey Wasserman selling talent agency after Ghislaine Maxwell emails: report

Top sports and talent agent Casey Wasserman told staff he would sell his talent agency following recently published emails between him and Ghislaine Maxwell, the Associated Press reported Saturday.

Wasserman, founder and CEO of the Wasserman Agency and chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, exchanged flirty emails in 2003 with Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.It is right arm, according to documents included in the latest press release from the Department of Justice.

The memo came days after the LA28 board’s executive committee met to discuss Wasserman’s appearance in the Epstein files. The committee said so, and an outside law firm conducted a review of Wasserman’s interactions with Epstein and Maxwell with Wasserman’s full cooperation.

“We found that Mr. Wasserman’s relationship with Epstein and Maxwell did not go beyond what has already been publicly documented,” the committee said in a statement, adding that Wasserman “should continue to lead LA28 and run safe and successful games.”

Wasserman previously said he flew a humanitarian mission to Africa aboard Epstein’s private plane at the invitation of the Clinton Foundation in 2002. He said in his memo to staff that his interactions with Maxwell and Epstein were limited and that he regretted the emails.

“It took years before their criminal conduct came to light and, in its entirety, consisted of a humanitarian trip to Africa and a handful of emails that I deeply regret sending. And I am heartbroken that my brief contact with them 23 years ago has caused you, this company and its customers so much difficulty over the past few days and weeks,” the memo said.

“I never had a personal or professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,” Wasserman said in an earlier statement. “As is well documented, I took a humanitarian trip as part of a Clinton Foundation delegation in 2002 aboard the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having had any association with either.”

United States women’s national soccer team legend Abby Wambach announced earlier this week that she was leaving the agency. Chappell Roan also left the agency.

In the email exchanges, Wasserman told Maxwell: “I think about you all the time. So what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?” Another exchange showed Maxwell asking Wasserman if there would be enough fog during a future visit “so you could float naked on the beach and no one could see you unless they were up close?” Wasserman replied, “or something like that.”
