Los Angeles' Wasserman Agency's CEO, Casey Wasserman, apparently is named in the Epstein files.

Kinda makes you curious if there are any other agency big wigs in those files.

He’s more of a Hollywood agent than an ad exec tho. He’s also the chair of the 2028 LA Olympics. Maybe Ser Martin was rich enough to be in there, but ad execs are peons compared to Epstein’s buddies.

Also fun fact, he was born Casey Myers but took his mom’s name so he could ride his grandfather’s coattails.

And sorrel was already pitted for shitty behavior but did little impact to being welcomed right back in. Maybe pedophiles will be real turning point.

Yup! His artists are demanding he step down. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to find anyone in there.

Chappell Roan already left the agency because of it. They need to get rid of him fast before they lose more artists.

Given that the files are (nominally) released, you don’t have to just “kinda be curious.” Just choose some names of your least favorite bigwigs and hit ctrl-F.

Right

smart

I’m honestly glad I didn’t get that job at his company. I was disappointed at first, but then I saw the news and was like, OK, everything happens for a reason. I do not want to be lining the pockets of someone like that.

Also, apparently there’s a lot of tea. Some outlets reported he exchanged a ton of messages with Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003, which was two years into his marriage to then-wife Laura Ziffren, and while she was pregnant, too.

And he’s the chairman and president of the 2028 Olympics committee. Allegedly he’s a huge womanizer, and there are reports that his mistress and former secretary had a $350,000 salary role with LA28. She resigned, and now more is coming out about him.

Wasserman acquired Laundry Service. So it makes me wonder if/how it’s going to impact their social media business. And yeah, he’s not the only one, just the first we’re finding out about. Goes for brand execs as well. Could be in for rocky times…

He’s selling the company. My guess is music won’t be part of the sale given the discourse that agents want to buy it back.

Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.
