The Dropkick Murphys announced the band has parted ways with the Wasserman talent agency after the company's founder, Casey Wasserman, was named in a newly released batch of files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Quincy, Massachusetts-based band shared the announcement on Instagram, stating 'It saddens us to part ways with [our agents], but the namesake of the agency is in the Epstein files so...we GONE'.
Why it matters
The Dropkick Murphys' decision to cut ties with Wasserman highlights the growing scrutiny and fallout faced by individuals and organizations connected to the Epstein scandal. As more details emerge, entertainers and public figures are increasingly distancing themselves from those with alleged ties to Epstein's criminal activities.
The details
Wasserman, 51, is an executive and sports agent whose firm represents more than 4,000 clients across sports and entertainment. Although Wasserman has not been accused of any crimes or directly linked to Epstein, the files released by the Department of Justice in late January included emails exchanged between Wasserman and Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Epstein who was convicted in 2021 of helping him sexually abuse teenage girls. The emails dated back to 2003, years before Maxwell's arrest and conviction.
