Casey Wasserman Steps Back from Business Amid Controversy

Casey Wasserman, the head of the LA 2028 Olympics, is selling his talent agency. This comes after old emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker, surfaced. People are upset and want him to quit his job. Even a pop star, Chappell Roan, left his agency because of this. Wasserman says he never knew Maxwell or Jeffrey Epstein well. He apologized for knowing Maxwell before her crimes were known. He also said he didn't want to be a distraction for his company. So, he's selling it.The LA 2028 Olympics team looked into his past. They said he didn't do anything wrong beyond what was already known. So, he can keep his job. But, selling his agency shows he's taking the criticism seriously. Wasserman told his staff he was sorry for causing trouble. He said it wasn't fair to them or his clients. This shows he cares about his company and its people. But, it's unclear if this will fix the damage done. The talent agency hasn't said anything yet. It's unclear who might buy it or what will happen next. This is a big change for Wasserman and his company. It's also a reminder that past actions can have big consequences.
