Casey Wasserman’s Agency Faces Sale After Controversial Emails Surface

Sports & Entertainment Shock: 2003 Emails Expose Scandalous Ties

The sports and entertainment world is stunned after emails from 2003 revealed a flirtatious back‑and‑forth between Casey Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of the late Jeffrey Epstein. The messages are rife with sexual innuendo and suggest a personal relationship that could not stay hidden.

• Key fallout: Grammy winner Chappell Roan and soccer star Abby Wambach have departed, citing discomfort with the situation.
• Wasserman’s response: A memo to staff on Friday night admitted he had become “a distraction,” apologized for past mistakes, and clarified that he would remain chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics—confirmed by an unanimous vote from the organizing committee.
• Email content: Sent in March and April 2003, before Maxwell’s conviction. One email described a “tight leather flying suit” and asked when Wasserman could meet in that outfit. Another suggested a “massage concept” that would continue into the morning, hinting at an ongoing sexual arrangement.
• Agency impact: Mike Watts will take over day‑to‑day management. The company is now listed for sale, a move that could protect its clients and partners.
• Broader pattern: Similar scandals have seen former Goldman Sachs chief legal officer Kathryn Ruemmler and Dubai logistics executive Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem step down after revealing connections to Epstein.

The future of Wasserman’s agency remains uncertain. While he will keep his Olympic role, the sale signals a dramatic shift in the sports and entertainment world. The incident reminds everyone that personal conduct can have professional consequences, no matter how high the position.
