Singer Chappell Roan has announced her departure from the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman, who has been implicated in controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. In her statement, Roan highlighted her obligation to protect her team and emphasized that accountability is essential for meaningful change in the industry.
Wasserman has faced scrutiny after flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced in the Epstein files. However, Roan refrained from directly mentioning Epstein in her announcement. She stated, As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, and added, No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values.
Roan's split is part of a growing trend, as other artists associated with Wasserman have also expressed their desire to distance themselves from his agency due to the recent revelations. The BBC has reached out to Wasserman for further comments regarding the situation.
