After Wasserman Rebrand, THE•TEAM Forges Ahead With Artist Roster Largely Intact
More than six months after the fallout from founder and CEO Casey Wasserman’s appearance in the Epstein files, his booking agency is moving forward.
In February, Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and Casey Wasserman exchanged risqué emails, leading to artists criticizing Wasserman Agency for retaining ties to the convicted sex offender. Following the backlash, Wasserman stepped down as CEO and sold his shares to Providence Equity Partners, which took full ownership of the company.
The agency, now known as THE•TEAM, maintains its current leadership and a largely intact roster of artists, despite concerns that many would leave. Artists such as bbno$ and Bethany Cosentino have expressed their continued loyalty to their respective agents, despite the controversy.
