Singer Chappell Roan leaves talent agency led by Casey Wasserman after Epstein fallout

Chappell Roan says she has left the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman, whose name appears in the Epstein files.

Announcing her split with the agency, Roan said she has a "duty to protect her team" and her decision reflected her belief that "meaningful change in our industry requires accountability".

Wasserman has been criticised after his flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell, sent in 2003, were revealed among the millions of files published in relation to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Roan made no mention of Epstein, nor the Epstein files, in her statement on Instagram announcing her departure.
