Tensions are boiling over inside CBS News as editor-in-chief Bari Weiss reportedly digs in her heels over controversial wellness influencer Peter Attia, whose name surfaced repeatedly in newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails.

The dispute adds to a string of missteps during Weiss’s turbulent four-month tenure, already marked by programming shakeups, internal backlash, and an embarrassing on-air rollout gone wrong.
