Casey Wasserman, a well-known figure in the sports and music world, is stepping down from his talent agency. This comes after some old emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of serious crimes, became public. Wasserman said he was sorry for any trouble his past actions caused.
The company Wasserman started over 20 years ago has grown a lot. It represents big names like Coldplay, Kendrick Lamar, and sports stars such as Alex Morgan and Klay Thompson. But after the emails came out, many artists and athletes decided to leave the agency. They said they didn't want to work with Wasserman anymore.
Wasserman is not leaving his role with the LA 2028 Olympics. The committee said they still support him. They mentioned that his contact with Epstein and Maxwell was a long time ago and before their crimes were known.
Other people have also faced trouble because of their ties to Epstein and Maxwell. Some have quit their jobs or apologized. Even Britain's King Charles III took away his brother's royal title because of similar issues.
Wasserman's agency will now be run by someone else while he works on selling it. This is a big change for him and his company.
