Wasserman Agency Founder’s Sexual Messages to Maxwell Revealed in Epstein Files

Casey Wasserman, the founder of the music agency Wasserman, is at the center of international controversy following the inclusion of his name in newly released federal documents related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. The recently disclosed documents contain sexually suggestive messages exchanged between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex abuse.

Wasserman also serves as chairman of the organizing committee for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. While it has been known for some time that Wasserman was on Epstein’s plane, these newly released documents reveal his direct correspondence with Maxwell for the first time.

Bethany Cosentino, a solo artist and co-founder of the rock band Best Coast, publicly criticized her own agency in an open letter. Cosentino has been a client of Wasserman since 2021 and issued her first public critique amid this controversy. In the letter posted on social media, she stated that Wasserman’s response was “insufficient” and added that “irresponsible regret is nothing more than damage control.”

Cosentino went further, accusing those in the industry who control access, resources, money, and so-called safety of enjoying unlimited leniency. She emphasized that it is morally impossible to treat proximity to horrific acts as mere bad luck and demand that such matters be simply ignored.

In a statement, Wasserman said he “deeply regrets communicating with Ghislaine Maxwell,” adding that it occurred “twenty years ago, long before his horrible crimes were exposed.” He also clarified that he “never had any personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein” and explained that he used Epstein’s plane during a humanitarian trip as part of the Clinton Foundation’s delegation in 2002. He added that he “greatly regrets any relationship I may have had with anyone among them.”
