Several people were affected after department of justice released Epstein files and the new person added to the list is Casey Wasserman, a leading Hollywood talent agent whose clients include Chappell Roan, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Kendrick Lamar. Wasserman said late on Friday he was selling his business after communications with Ghislaine Maxwell were exposed as part of the US justice department’s recent dump of investigative documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, Guardian reported. “I’m deeply sorry that my past personal mistakes have caused you so much discomfort. It’s not fair to you, and it’s not fair to the clients and partners we represent so vigorously and care so deeply about,” Wasserman wrote. “The pain experienced by the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell is unimaginable – and I’m glad, as I’m sure you all are, that those who helped them commit their crimes are rightly being held accountable.”Wasserman, grandson of the late famed Hollywood dealmaker Lew Wasserman, said he was putting his eponymous talent and marketing agency on the block, citing the impact on the company from “past personal mistakes” and telling staff he felt that he had “become a distraction” to its work.Wasserman said a deputy, company president Mike Watts, would oversee day-to-day business operations “while I devote my full attention to delivering Los Angeles an Olympic Games in 2028 that is worthy of this outstanding city”.Other than Wasserman, several people were also faced consequences and few of them are: Kathy RuemmlerThe former chief legal officer of Goldman Sachs, resigned after US Department of Justice documents showed she advised Jeffrey Epstein on legal matters and exchanged warm emails with him, despite previously describing their relationship as purely professional, Business Insider reported.
