Los Angeles, California – Chappell Roan announced on Monday that she had left her talent agency after its CEO was named in files related to infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Chappell had been represented by Wasserman, an agency that boasts a number of high-profile clients, including Adam Sandler and Brad Pitt, and is led by Casey Wasserman, who is also the chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The executive is now under fire after the Justice Department’s latest Epstein files release revealed a series of flirty emails he shared with Ghislaine Maxwell, the sex offender’s main accomplice.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Chappell said that “no artist, agent, or employee should be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values.”

“I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to stand by,” she added.
The Grammy winner noted that “artists deserve representation that aligns with their values” and the decision “reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust.”
Wasserman in a statement last month apologized for his communications with Maxwell, which he insisted “took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light.”
The British socialite was sentenced to two decades in prison in 2022 for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Epstein, but is now seeking clemency from President Donald Trump – once a close friend of Epstein’s – in return for cooperating with ongoing investigations.
