"Wellness guru Dr. Peter Attia was one of several contributors Weiss hired last month, but that personnel decision has now become a headache for CBS News. On Friday, the Department of Justice released another trove of material about Epstein, the late child sex trafficker. Among the files were email exchanges between Attia and Epstein, who appeared to be on very friendly terms."
"In an email from 2015, Attia told Epstein that 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 a 2016 email, Attia made a lewd crack about cunnilingus, writing: Py is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten, though. Attia's name appeared in the Epstein files more than 1,700 times."
"The Wrap reported on Monday morning that CBS News was reconsidering its hire of Attia. But later that evening, the publication said Weiss was reluctant to fire him because she would be caving to a mob. One person familiar with the situation told The Wrap that Weiss is battling everyone over it and that David Ellison, the CEO of CBS parent company Paramount Skydance, may have to make a decision:"
Bari Weiss refuses to fire contributor Dr. Peter Attia after Department of Justice materials revealed friendly email exchanges between Attia and Jeffrey Epstein. The released files include a 2015 message where Attia wrote that the worst part about being your friend is that the life you lead is so outrageous, and a 2016 message with a lewd joke. Attia's name appears over 1,700 times in the Epstein files. Attia denied involvement in any criminal activity and apologized for embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible correspondence. Nellie Bowles, Weiss's wife, also appears in Epstein correspondence. Paramount corporate and CBS News leadership are contesting the decision.
