Casey Wasserman’s bold comments to Ghislaine Maxwell in the Jeffrey Epstein-related files continue to generate fallout.

Wasserman’s name was removed from the talent agency he founded. The company scrapped the original “Wasserman Agency” to rebrand as “THE TEAM.” Wasserman announced his intention to sell the company last month, saying it had become a distraction.

Visitors were directed from the old website to a new website that initially explained the change, The New York Times reported.

“Starting today, Wasserman will change its name to The Team,” the company wrote. “For 24 years, this company has been shaped by our work, our people and our unifying belief in the power of sports, music and entertainment. That philosophy continues to be the foundation of who we are and where we are going. We move forward as we always have: together.”

In a statement to The Daily Beast, The Team wrote in a statement: “Wasserman will be rebranding as THE·TEAM. We remain completely focused on serving our clients with the same professionalism that has always been our standard.”

The company appears to be erasing ties with Wasserman as much as possible after bleeding clients like “Pink Pony Club” singer Chappell Roan, Laufey, Weyes Blood, Best Coast’s Bethany Cosentino, Chelsea Cutler, Water From Your Eyes, Orville Peck and Beach Bunny on the music side.

The agency reportedly hired Kendrick Lamar; Mister; and Tyler, the Creator. The New York Times noted that it still represents figures such as Coldplay and Ed Sheeran, as well as basketball stars Paige Bueckers and Brittney Griner and LA Dodgers World Series MVP pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Wasserman has been feeling the impact since his suggestive comments in emails to Maxwell surfaced in newly released files. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for a scheme with Epstein to sexually abuse minors.

“Where are you? I miss you,” Wasserman, then married, wrote to Maxwell in 2003. “I’ll be in New York for 4 days starting April 22nd…can we book that massage now?” Maxwell responds by saying, “All that rubbing, are you sure you can handle it? Frankly, the thought of it leaves me a little breathless.” Wasserman also expressed his desire to see Maxwell in a tight leather suit.

“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell that took place more than two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,” wrote Wasserman, who is not charged with a crime.

But Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass asked him to resign from his position on the organizing committee for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
