Epstein Fallout: Roan Leaves Agency, Maxwell Silent

Singer Chappell Roan announced Monday that she had parted ways with her talent agency, Wasserman, after its CEO was mentioned in documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The move comes as fallout from the Epstein files continues to reverberate, impacting individuals and institutions connected to the disgraced financier.

Roan, 27, who had been represented by Wasserman, made the announcement on Instagram, stating that "no artist, agent or employee should be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values," according to CBS News. The agency, led by Casey Wasserman, also represents high-profile clients like Adam Sandler and Brad Pitt. Wasserman, who is also chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, was criticized after his flirtatious emails to Ghislaine Maxwell, sent in 2003, were revealed in the millions of files published in relation to Epstein, according to BBC World. Roan made no mention of Epstein or the Epstein files in her statement.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) released over three million records related to Epstein, including his personal emails, following the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by Congress in November, as reported by CBS News and Fox News. The release of these documents has led to increased scrutiny of individuals connected to Epstein.

In other developments related to the Epstein case, Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted associate, refused to answer questions from the US House Oversight Committee on Monday, according to BBC World. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, invoked her Fifth Amendment right to remain silent during a closed-door deposition. Republican House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer expressed disappointment, stating, "This is obviously very disappointing," according to BBC World.

Meanwhile, the ex-Prince Andrew's daughters are reportedly "emotionally drained" by the Epstein scandal, according to Fox News. The latest batch of released documents has reignited scrutiny of their parents' connection to Epstein.

In Washington, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Rodney Scott are scheduled to testify before the House Department of Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday, according to ABC News. The hearing is the first of two on oversight of the two agencies. Joseph Edlow, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), is also expected to appear.
