Grammy winner Chappell Roan announced she is leaving Wasserman Music after years-old personal emails between the agency’s founder, the head of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics committee, were part of the latest round of government files released on Jeffrey Epstein.

The 2025 Best New Artist Grammy winner and “Pink Pony Club” artist made the announcement late Monday in an Instagram Stories post.

“As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,” Roan, 27, said. “I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever 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 passively stand by.

“Artists deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity. This decision reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust.”

The documents including Wasserman’s email correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell were disclosed as mandated by a law passed requiring the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend. Wasserman had apologized over the flirtatious emails with Maxwell from 2003.

In the statement released earlier, Wasserman said, “I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light. I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. 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. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”

Maxwell was convicted in 2021 on five counts of sex trafficking and abuse of minors, and is serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Epstein died by suicide in a New York jail cell in August 2019, a month after being indicted on federal sex-trafficking charges.

International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry said the IOC is not “going to get involved.” Conan Nolan reports for the NBC4 News at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026.

Last week, the International Olympic Committee expressed no interest in pressuring the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics chair over the emails. International Olympic Committee president Kirsty Coventry was asked Wednesday if Wasserman was still the right person to oversee the Los Angeles Olympics.

“From the IOC point of view, the (organizing committee) and how they are structured is not something we are going to get involved into,” Coventry said.

The IOC leader spoke at a news conference one day after she shared a stage with Wasserman when the Los Angeles organizing team updated Olympic officials on their hosting plans.

Mayor Karen Bass issued a statement Wednesday, saying any decision was up to the LA28 board.

“As Los Angeles prepares to take the world stage and welcome the world for the Olympic Games for the third time and the Paralympics for the first, it is critical to be 100% focused on making our city shine and ensuring the 2028 Games are the best in Los Angeles’ history,” Bass said. “Ultimately, any decision on the LA28 leadership must be made by the LA28 Board. As you know, they are a separate and independent nonprofit organization.”

Wasserman has faced calls from some members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and city council members to step down as chair of the Olympic project, which brought the competition to Los Angeles for a third time. Wasserman has spearheaded the effort since LA was first a host candidate 11 years ago.
