A number of high-profile executives have now resigned since the release of the latest batch of Epstein files.
Among the resignations was Casey Wasserman, a talent executive and chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee.
On Friday, he announced that he will sell his talent agency after he appeared in nearly 90 Epstein documents, including messages to Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Wasserman’s clients include Emma Stone, Nikki Glaser, and comedian Nate Bargatze.
Singer Chapppell Roan announced she was leaving the agency after Wasserman was revealed to be in the files.
Another executive who has now resigned is Kathy Ruemmler, chief legal officer and general counsel of investment firm Goldman Sachs. She announced she would step away from her position at the firm at the end of June.
Ruemmler served as White House counsel to President Obama and initially attempted to distance herself from emails that showed a cosy relationship with the disgraced financier and pedophile.
In one email sent just months before Epstein was arrested, she referred to him as “Uncle Jeffrey.”
Other resignations include Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman of DP World, one of the world’s largest logistics companies; Peter Mandelson, who served as UK ambassador the US under current Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and has now been forced to relinquish his role in the House of Lords; and Brad Karp, chairman of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, one of the most important law firms in the US.
