CBS News Expected to Cut Ties With Contributor Peter Attia Over Epstein Links Exclusive [View all]
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.
