The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics chief, Casey Wasserman, is opting to sell his renowned talent and marketing agency, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. This decision follows significant backlash over past email interactions with Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker. The controversy has intensified calls for Wasserman's resignation.
Wasserman's agency recently lost pop star Chappell Roan as a client amid the ongoing criticism. Despite the pressure, Wasserman has denied any professional or personal link to the late financier and sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. He has expressed regret over his association with Maxwell, claiming it predated their criminal activities becoming public knowledge.
The talent agency has yet to comment publicly. In an internal memo to staff, Wasserman admitted feeling like a "distraction" to their work, prompting the sale. He remains the LA28 chief following an organizational review that cleared him of further wrongdoing with Maxwell and Epstein.
