Chappell Roan Leaves Talent Agency Over Owner’s Connection to Epstein
Chappell Roan has cut ties with her talent agency, Wasserman, after CEO and founder Casey Wasserman was named in files related to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman,” Roan, 27, shared in an Instagram Story on Monday, February 9.
The “Pink Pony Club” singer continued, “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,” Roan added. “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.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Wasserman for comment.
Last month, documents emerged linking Wasserman, 51, who is also the president of the organizing committee for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, to Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

According to The Guardian, in one email sent in 2003, Wasserman told Maxwell, “I think of you all the time. So, what do I have to do to see you in a tight leather outfit?” In another email, sent in April that same year, Maxwell offered to give Wasserman a massage that could “drive a man wild.”
“I deeply regret my correspondence with Ghislaine Maxwell which took place over two decades ago, long before her horrific crimes came to light,” Wasserman said in a statement to Deadline earlier this month. “I never had a personal or business relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. As is well documented, I went on a humanitarian trip as part of a delegation with the Clinton Foundation in 2002 on the Epstein plane. I am terribly sorry for having any association with either of them.”
Maxwell, 64, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty in December 2021 on federal charges of conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy and sex trafficking of a minor.
The Department of Justice released another tranche of federal documents — dubbed the Epstein files — in January following investigations into the disgraced financier. Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.
President Donald Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law in November 2025 after it passed through the House of Representatives and Congress.
The bill “requires the Department of Justice (DOJ) to publish (in a searchable and downloadable format) all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ’s possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.” Materials released include those in connection with the federal charges related to Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime friend and former girlfriend.

Stargate’s Amanda Tapping Went Full Horror Movie, And It’s Perfect
By Jonathan Klotz
| Published

Amanda Tapping’s most well-known role is as Colonel Samantha Carter in the Stargate franchise, but after Stargate SG-1 finished, she went on to star in the SyFy original monster-hunting series, Sanctuary. As Helen Magnus, she was the head of a global network of secret facilities designed to house, treat, and study “abnormals.”
This meant a lot of running around after large, terrifying monsters, which is why the Season 1 episode, “Instinct,” works so well. Shot in the style of a found-footage horror movie, “Instinct” shows how a single encounter with an abnormal can be life-altering, and oh yes, when you don’t know what’s going on, the entire Sanctuary team comes off as being completely insane.

By now, fans had seen Helen’s team in action: Will (Robin Dunne) is the new guy, a forensic psychiatrist and her protege, Henry (Ryan Robbins) is the tech guy and also a werewolf, while Ashley (Emille Ullerup) is Helen’s daughter (that always immediately raises questions when people find out) and the most accomplished fighter of the group. Seeing them through the perspective of TV weather girl Amy (Rekha Sharma) and her cameraman, Zach (Matty Finochio), turns the usual Sanctuary viewing experience on its head. After the two bystanders wander into a warehouse with a trapped monstrous abnormal inside, they learn of a world of myths and monsters that’s always been around them, and while Zach is impressed, Amy thinks this is the story that will make her career.
“Instinct” opens with the two groups running into each other and trying to find a way to coexist as Amy tries to get answers about the Sanctuary from the team, and Zach wants to get out in one piece. In one of the best moments, Zach is trying to eavesdrop on the team using the camera, when he hears Helen say that the monster is right behind him. Panicked, he turns around, sees nothing, turns back, and Helen is right there to chastise him for listening in.

After learning that the abnormal is a typically docile ancient Japanese beetle, they calm down until the lights go out, and we get the horror-movie shot of the abnormal lurking in the darkness, right over Helen’s shoulder. The head-on steadicam shots make “Instinct” look unlike any other episode of Sanctuary, and the episode takes full advantage of it by going for jumpscares whenever possible.
Sanctuary Was Ahead Of Its Time

Sanctuary was usually shot in a large, open studio with no real sets. Those were digitally added in later. For “Instinct,” the crew used an old Volvo warehouse, which gave the episode a cramped, claustrophobic feel. Intentionally shot to look like a single, continuous take, the episode was actually 40 long shots spliced together, but if you’ve seen any found-footage movies, you can tell where the splices happen.
Even though the series ran for four seasons, Sanctuary stayed under the radar the whole time, which is a shame, as it includes one of the strangest versions of Tesla, a vampire in the world of the series, and the best Jack the Ripper (Helen’s estranged husband). As expected for a show starring Amanda Tapping while she was moonlighting on Stargate Atlantis, there’s plenty of references to that other franchise, including Michael Shanks making a guest appearance, and in “Instinct,” an ARG prop is repurposed as a sonic gun.
Sanctuary’s quality level varies wildly from season to season, but “Instinct” is an early highlight for the show before it loses itself in its own mythology. Paying tribute to Cloverfield gave fans a chance to see the team a bit differently and to have some fun by seeing how insane Helen’s explanations behind abnormals sound when removed from the context of the Sanctuary itself. If you’ve never given the show a chance, fire it up on Tubi and let the familiar feeling of Canadian sci-fi wash over you.

Donald Trump Told Police ‘Everyone’ Knew About Jeffrey Epstein’s Crimes in 2006
President Trump
Told Cops ‘Everyone’ Knew About Epstein’s Crimes in 2006 …
Later Denied Knowledge
Published
Donald Trump told cops “everyone” knew about Jeffrey Epstein‘s evil acts with underage girls … this according to an official FBI report.
The report — several of the millions of Epstein document pages released by Trump’s Department of Justice in recent weeks — lays out the Palm Beach Police Department’s investigation into the financier during the early 2000s.
While the document is heavily redacted, it’s a 2019 interview with former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, who confirmed as much to the Miami Herald.
At one point, Trump apparently called PBPD — Reiter says this was in 2006, around the time Epstein was arrested and charged with a state-level solicitation of prostitution charge — and said, “‘Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.”
He specifically mentions Epstein’s association with underage girls … telling cops “he was around Epstein once when teenagers were present and Trump ‘got the hell out of there.’”
Trump also pointed the finger at “evil” Ghislaine Maxwell … calling her an “operative” of Epstein’s and telling cops to focus on her.
This new report seemingly contradicts claims DJT made in 2019. When reporters asked him if he knew anything about Epstein’s crimes before his arrest, POTUS replied, “No, I had no idea. I had no idea.”
Despite Reiter’s claims, an FBI official told the Herald “We are not aware of any corroborating evidence that the President contacted law enforcement 20 years ago.”
We’ve reached out to the White House for comment … they referred us to the DOJ, which has already announced no further charges are expected in the Epstein investigation.

Megan Thee Stallion Wows Klay Thompson With 36th B-Day Bash
Megan Thee Stallion went all out for her man, Klay Thompson, with a birthday bash he’ll never forget! Thompson welcomed his 36th on Feb. 8, and this past weekend the couple went all the way up to celebrate. From a luxury beach picnic to Bone Thug-N-Harmony pulling up for a performance, Meg spared no expense to show her bae how she’s coming behind him!

Thee Stallion Celebrates Her Bae
As mentioned, the birthday festivities for Klay Thompson’s 36th seemed to start with a sweet beachside picnic for the couple. It’s unclear if Megan herself did the setup, but it impressed! And so did she, in a tight-fitting white-and-black polka-dot dress with a low-cut back. Meanwhile, her man was casual in a white, short-sleeve button-down and shorts. She filmed him as they walked along the beach to their picnic, which included a meat-and-cheese charcuterie board, fresh oysters on ice, and a fruit plate. At some point in the lunch date, Klay Thompson ended up taking a lil’ ocean swim. Peep the vibes below, starting at the 01:47 mark.
Then, came the big bash on Saturday (Feb. 7). Megan curated the event to Klay’s Thompson down to the entertainment. She surprised him with a performance by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, whom he previously told GQ was his favorite rap group growing up. From the videos circulating, it appears Klay had a BALL and even showed off some dance moves, solo and with his lady!
Social Media Is Loving This Megan-Klay Era
After The Shade Room reposted birthday bash footage, the roommates were eating UP Megan Thee Stallion’s apparent wifey energy. Will an engagement ring follow this? It looks like fans are hoping so, especially after seeing Megan and Klay slow dancing to BTNH’s ‘Crossroads.’
Roomie @calculatedopulence commented, “I watched this on mute and then realized they were slow dancing to crossroads. This I’m my official application for Flower Girl!”
@th_brunch_psychologist wrote, “What an amazing gift 🥰 I was literally listening to this today! My first rap concert I ever attended as a teen was BTNH 😍🔥This is an amazing gift for an 80s baby ☺️”
@dose_of_boujeee said, “They complement each other so well. And I love that he makes her look short.. I really hope we see some mini stallions 😍😍🥰🥰”
@elle_eddings added, “I’m here for all of it. I don’t care what anyone says! ❤️.”
@vaniareneau commented, “I really know all the words to this song and would’ve been in the front rapping with them 😂 Come on Klay for knowing all the words 👏🏾 They are too cute 🥰”
“Slow dancing to Crossroads is true love…,” @daboydame wrote.
Rapper Also Has Family’s Stamp Of Approval
And one thing about Megan, Klay isn’t the only Thompson man who loves her! Daddy Thompson, first name Mychal, is also here for his son’s lady, especially when she’s throwing down in the kitchen! In recent weeks, he told media that Meg is not only a “very nice lady,” but also makes the best BBQ baked beans he’s ever had in his life. When asked about a possible engagement between the couple, he deferred to not knowing, but he emphasized that she’s a “very lovely lady” who has the family’s approval.
