CBS News Expected to Cut Ties With Contributor Peter Attia Over Epstein Links Exclusive

CBS News is expected to cut ties with new contributor Peter Attia, a wellness expert, over his dealings with Jeffrey Epstein, according to an individual with knowledge of Paramount’s thinking.

In the latest trove of Epstein emails released Friday, Attia appears chummy with the late, convicted sex offender, making crude jokes, offering to help Epstein live longer “for the ladies,” and gushing about Epstein’s “outrageous” lifestyle. Attia’s name appears more than 1,700 times in the trove of 3 million emails, including many personal email exchanges with Epstein.

In one 2015 email, Attia wrote: the “worst part about being your friend is that the life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…” In another in 2016, Attia joked about diet with Epstein by saying: “P—y is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten, though.”

The individual referred to the embarrassing revelation about Attia as an HR issue rather than an editorial matter.

A CBS News spokesperson did not immediately respond for comment.

This email exchange between Bowles and Epstein occurred 10 years, 3 months after he pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for prostitution.

There is no bottom, no depth too low for his shithole country to allow Trump to avoid accountability once again. Its the story of the last decade and its a large part of why I am turning 55 this week and feel a GIANT hole in my life from 2016 to the present. Everything I once assumed and believed about this country has had a giant shit taken on it.

Trump (and his billionaire buddies and worthless sycophants) are all the worst of the worst and yet they skate by as if they are pure as he driven snow. We need a serious bloodletting and restructuring of this country. As of right now, the first American Republic lasted essentially from 1789 to 2025 and we are in the interval between either a second American Republic or outright dictatorship.

I choose to destroy the usurper's legacy and influence.

Anyone with connections after his pedophilia convictions needs to be cleansed. This reporter was obviously in the know.
