Roan Exits Agency Amid Epstein Fallout; Taylor Dies at 90

Singer Chappell Roan announced she had parted ways with the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman, whose name appears in the Epstein files, citing a "duty to protect her team" as the reason for her departure. The announcement, made on Instagram, comes amid scrutiny of Wasserman following the revelation of his flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell. In other news, a landmark trial began in California examining the mental health effects of Instagram and YouTube, with lawyers accusing the social media giants of creating "addiction machines." Additionally, Ghanaian highlife pioneer and guitarist Ebo Taylor died at the age of 90, and American skier Lindsey Vonn reflected on her recent, devastating crash at the Winter Olympics.

Roan's decision to leave Wasserman's agency reflects her belief that "meaningful change in our industry requires accountability," according to her statement. While the singer did not directly mention Jeffrey Epstein or the Epstein files, her departure follows the publication of millions of files related to the convicted pedophile.

Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, a trial is underway focusing on the alleged addictive nature of Instagram and YouTube. Lawyers for the plaintiff, identified as "K.G.M.," argued that the companies intentionally designed their platforms to be addictive to children, leading to mental health issues. "These companies built machines designed to addict the brains of children, and they did it on purpose," stated Mark Lanier, the plaintiff's lawyer, according to BBC. Lawyers for Meta and YouTube, however, contend that K.G.M.'s addiction stemmed from other underlying issues.

In the world of music, the influential Ghanaian musician Ebo Taylor passed away at the age of 90. His son, Kweku Taylor, announced the news, calling his father "a colossus of African music." Taylor was a key figure in the highlife genre, and his death occurred a month after his 90th birthday and a day after the launch of the Ebo Taylor music festival.

Finally, American skier Lindsey Vonn shared her reflections on a recent, serious crash during the Winter Olympics. Vonn, who suffered a complex tibia fracture, stated from the hospital in Italy that she had "no regrets" despite the intense physical pain. According to Al Jazeera, Vonn's message was her first social media post since the accident.
