Casey Wasserman’s A-List Music Clients ‘Reassessing’ Ties After Epstein Files Release
Casey Wasserman, the CEO of sports marketing and talent agency Wasserman Group, has left his clients in a dilemma about their representation after he was mentioned in the latest files on Jeffrey Epstein.
In the Thursday, February 12 edition of Rob Shuter‘s Naughty But Nice substack, he reported that, despite no wrongdoing on the artists’ part, they are worried.
Wasserman’s clients include major A-listers in the music industry, such as Ed Sheeran, Kendrick Lamar, SZA and Tyler, the Creator.
“This is how reputations get singed,” one source told Shuter. “Not by guilt — by proximity.”
As the National Enquirer previously reported, Chappell Roan has already cut ties with Wasserman, and as a second source noted, “once one major star leaves, everyone starts reassessing.”
“Phones are ringing,” the source added. “Lawyers are asking questions.”
“The Epstein files don’t just expose criminals,” a third source added. “They expose networks. And networks are everything.”
In the Department of Justice’s January 30 release of more documents related to the late sex offender’s scandal, Wasserman’s last name comes up over 100 times when searching, as he allegedly had correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell.
In one email sent to an address identified as “Maxwell, Ghislaine,” dated Tuesday, April 1, 2003, the businessman wrote: “Where are you, I miss you. I will be in nyc for 4 days starting april 22…can we book that massage now?”
On Saturday, January 31, Wasserman shared a statement with the The New York Post regarding the situation.
“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,” the statement read. “I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”
