Earlier this month, a newly-unveiled batch of Epstein Files revealed that Casey Wasserman, founder and CEO of the talent management company Wasserman, had traveled on Jeffrey Epstein’s plane during a 2002 humanitarian trip. Additionally, around that same time, Wasserman had engaged in some raunchy email exchanges with Ghislane Maxwell, who in 2022 was sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of child sex trafficking with Epstein. Wasserman represents a ton of popular and independent artists, like Chappell Roan, who’s reportedly leaving Wasserman, and Best Coast, whose Bethany Cosentino has since called for Wasserman to step down as CEO. Fellow Wasserman client Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells has now issued a statement explaining why not all artists can walk away from the now-disgraced company so easily.
