CBS contributor Dr. Peter Attia resigned as his role at the outlet after his disturbing emails with Jeffrey Epstein were released by the DOJ.
Dr. Attia faced backlash earlier this month after the DOJ released another cache of Epstein documents.
On Monday it was reported that Attia parted ways with CBS after the Epstein fallout.
Via The Hollywood Reporter:
Longevity guru Dr. Peter Attia is stepping aside as a contributor to CBS News, after correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and the researcher and health media personality came to light in the release of the Epstein Files from the Department of Justice.
CBS News staff were informed of the decision Monday in a note from the network’s booking department, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Attia told CBS that he would be resigning effective immediately.
Attia was one of a number of high-profile contributors that CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss brought on as part of her planned overhaul of the network news division, seeking to bring more voices into CBS’ linear and digital coverage.
Shortly after that announcement, however, the embarrassing exchanges were released by the DOJ, many of which contained crude banter. CBS subsequently pulled a rerun of a 60 Minutes segment that featured Attia.
That said, Attia had been expected to remain a contributor to the network, with Weiss being a critic of so-called “cancel culture.” Of course, the Epstein emails damaged his reputation even if he personally did not engage in or know about any criminal activity, as Attia wrote in a note he sent to his team and his patients.
