The talent agency, previously known as Wasserman, is preparing for its second rebrand following revelations of founder Casey Wasserman's past interactions with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Wasserman announced on February 14, 2026, that he has initiated the process to sell the Los Angeles-based firm, stating he has become a distraction. The decision comes after several prominent clients, including singer Chappell Roan and artist Orville Peck, departed the agency. Wasserman's past included flying on Epstein's private plane and exchanging flirtatious emails with Maxwell in 2003, though he has not been accused of wrongdoing. The LA28 Olympic committee reviewed Wasserman's interactions and confirmed he would remain chairman of the 2028 games.
