Peter Attia, a prominent longevity expert and newly appointed contributor at CBS News, has stepped down following the emergence of previously undisclosed communications with Jeffrey Epstein. His name appeared over 1,700 times in recently released Epstein files, leading to significant backlash. The fallout included criticism from media figures such as John Oliver, contributing to a swift response from CBS News, which decided to cut ties with Attia amid the controversy. Advocates have suggested that this incident serves as a wake-up call for those previously considered untouchable in the media landscape.
