“As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,” she said. <\/p>\n

Roan added: “No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values.” <\/p>\n

The BBC has reached out to Wasserman for comment.<\/p>\n

Wasserman is also the chairman of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, and has faced calls to step down from the position following the release of the emails.<\/p>\n

He has said he “deeply regrets” the messages exchanged with Maxwell<\/a>, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting and trafficking teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein.<\/p>\n

He said in a statement that his correspondence with Maxwell “took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light”.<\/p>\n

Wasserman also emphasised that he had “never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein”.<\/p>\n

“As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”<\/p>\n

Wasserman has not been accused of wrongdoing by any of Epstein’s victims, and the appearance of his name in the files does not imply criminal activity of any kind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,” she…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-417802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
