Taking to Instagram, the singer wrote: “As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman.
“I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values.
“I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to passively stand by.
“Artists deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity. This decision reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust.”
A video of Maxwell is doing the rounds online after the convicted associate of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appeared in a deposition conducted by the US House Oversight Committee on Monday (February 9).
Maxwell did not answer any questions but her lawyer did speak, stating that the felon would answer the questions on one condition.
Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, said: “If this committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path.
“Ms Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump.”
He continued: “Only she can provide a complete account and some might not like what they hear, but the truth matters.”
Explaining why he advised his client to remain silent, Markus said: “On my advice, Ghislaine Maxwell will respectfully invoke her Fifth Amendment right to silence and decline to answer questions today even though she would very much like to answer your questions.
“She must remain silent because Ms Maxwell has a habeas petition currently pending that demonstrates that her conviction rests on a fundamentally unfair trial.”
Per the United States Attorney's office, Maxwell, who was once said to have been a romantically involved with Epstein, assisted, facilitated, and participated in disgraced financier Epstein’s abuse of minor girls by, among other things, helping him to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse victims known to Maxwell and Epstein to be under the age of 18.
As of November 2025, the Justice Department said that at least 1,000 women were victimized by Epstein, said USA Today.
