Dr. Peter Attia is stepping down from CBS News just weeks after being named as a contributor under boss Bari Weiss — following the recent release of Epstein files showing his chummy relationship over hundreds of emails with the late financier and sex offender.
The anti-aging researcher said he would be resigning effective immediately, according to a Monday note from the network’s booking department sent out to CBS News staffers and obtained by the Hollywood Reporter.
Attia was one of the high-profile contributors brought to CBS News under Weiss, who was hired by Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison to bring more conservative voices to the network.
Not long after Weiss announced Attia’s hiring, a Justice Department release uncovered troves of correspondence between Attia and the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein – including a joke that female genitals counted as a “low carb.”
CBS News and Paramount did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
