长寿专家彼得·阿提亚博士就与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦往来的”不可辩护”邮件致歉


2026年2月2日 / 美国东部时间下午6:39 / CBS新闻

以长寿研究闻名的医生兼作家彼得·阿提亚(Peter Attia)正在为他与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)往来的”尴尬、无礼且不可辩护”的邮件道歉。此前,这些邮件在司法部最新公布的与爱泼斯坦案相关的文件中被曝光。

他尚未被指控存在刑事不当行为。但阿提亚的名字在司法部公布的文件中出现了数百次,且他与爱泼斯坦的交流比此前已知的更为广泛。

阿提亚最近被任命为CBS新闻的撰稿人。CBS的母公司派拉蒙斯凯丹斯(Paramount Skydance)未予置评。

在这些邮件中,2016年阿提亚曾致信爱泼斯坦:”猫女(P***y)确实是低碳水。不过还在等麸质含量的检测结果。”

在新闻报道这些邮件后,阿提亚在X平台(原推特)发布了一篇长长的道歉声明,详细说明了他与爱泼斯坦的关系。他否认参与任何犯罪活动,称自己从未乘坐过爱泼斯坦的飞机,从未访问过他的岛屿,也从未参加过”任何性派对”。

阿提亚与爱泼斯坦的最后一次通信似乎发生在2019年春季,就在爱泼斯坦7月被捕和8月10日死亡前不久。

他表示,后悔”让自己处于这些邮件(其中一些令人尴尬、无礼且不可辩护)如今公之于众的境地”,并补充道:”我接受这一现实以及随之而来的羞辱。”

阿提亚在帖子中称,2014年至2019年间,他”在爱泼斯坦位于纽约市的家中大约见过七八次面”,见面目的是”讨论研究项目和结识其他人”。

周五公布的文件中还包括2015年的一段交流。阿提亚当时写了一条标注(经司法部编辑)的信息,主题为”收到一批新货”。爱泼斯坦回复”我也是”,并附上一张同样经过编辑的照片。阿提亚回应道:”请告诉我你是在网上找到这张照片的……混蛋。”

“恐怕不是,”爱泼斯坦回复。

阿提亚回信道:”和你做朋友最大的问题是,你过的生活如此离谱,我却不能告诉任何人。”

阿提亚在社交媒体帖子中声称,”新货”指的是一张经过编辑的二甲双胍(metformin)照片,”这是我刚从药房为自己拿到的药物”。(阿提亚曾因抗衰原因服用该药,但表示2018年因运动时出现副作用而停药)。

爱泼斯坦回复的”我也是”包含”一名成年女性的照片”,阿提亚称。

“我以粗俗、无礼的玩笑回应。现在读这段对话非常尴尬,我不会为它辩解。我为这一切感到羞愧,”阿提亚表示,”当时我认为这段交流只是幼稚的玩笑,并非涉及任何黑暗或有害的内容。”

爱泼斯坦此前曾因佛罗里达州的一桩案件有性犯罪记录,2008年他接受了认罪协议以避免联邦指控。2019年,他因联邦性交易指控被捕。2019年8月他在狱中自杀身亡,死因被裁定为自杀。

阿提亚称,他曾就爱泼斯坦2008年在佛罗里达的定罪向其询问,而爱泼斯坦”将其描述为与卖淫相关的指控”。

“2018年,我开始了解到这一描述被严重淡化了,”阿提亚说。但他同时坚称,”我从未目睹任何非法行为,也从未在他身边见过看起来未成年的人。”

阿提亚是”Outlive”应用程序的创始人,该应用将长寿科学转化为个性化日常实践;同时也是”Early Medical”医疗诊所的创始人,旨在帮助患者延长健康寿命。他还是播客”彼得·阿提亚驱动”(The Peter Attia Drive)的主持人,著有《Outlive:长寿的科学与艺术》(Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity)一书。

Dr. Peter Attia, longevity expert, apologizes for “indefensible” emails to Jeffrey Epstein

February 2, 2026 / 6:39 PM EST / CBS News

Peter Attia, a doctor and author well known for his research on longevity, is apologizing for what he calls “embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible” emails he exchanged with Jeffrey Epstein, after the messages came to light in the Justice Department’s latest release of files related to the Epstein case.

He has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing. But Attia’s name appears in the records released by the Justice Department hundreds of times and his communications with Epstein are more extensive than previously known.

Attia was recently named as a contributor to CBS News. CBS’ parent company, Paramount Skydance, had no comment.

Among the messages, in 2016, Attia wrote to Epstein, “P***y is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten content, though.”

After news reports about the emails, Attia posted on X a long apology and account of his relationship with Epstein. He denied any involvement in criminal activity, said he never flew on Epstein’s plane, never visited his island and never attended “any sex parties.”

The last correspondence between Attia and Epstein appears to have occurred in the spring of 2019, shortly before Epstein’s arrest in July and death on Aug. 10.

He said he regretted “putting myself in a position where emails, some of them embarrassing, tasteless, and indefensible, are now public,” and went on to say, “I accept that reality and the humiliation that comes with it.”

Attia said in his post that between 2014 and 2019, he met with Epstein “on approximately seven or eight occasions at his New York City home.” He said they met “regarding research studies and to meet others.”

Included in the documents released Friday was an exchange from 2015 in which Attia had written a note — redacted by the Justice Department — that bore the subject line, “Got a fresh shipment.” Epstein responded, “me too,” with a photo that was also redacted. Attia responded, “Please tell (me) you found that picture on line … bastard.”

“fraid not,” Epstein said.

Attia wrote back that “the biggest problem with becoming friends with you” is that “[t]he life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul.”

Attia claimed in his social media post that the “fresh shipment” referred to a redacted photograph of metformin, “a medication I had just received from the pharmacy for my own use.” (Attia used to take the drug for anti-aging reasons but said he stopped in 2018 because it had negative effects around exercise.)

Epstein’s “me too” response included “a photograph of an adult woman,” Attia said.

“I responded with crude, tasteless banter. Reading that exchange now is very embarrassing, and I will not defend it. I’m ashamed of myself for everything about this,” Attia said. “At the time, I understood this exchange as juvenile, not a reference to anything dark or harmful.”

Epstein at that point had a record as a sex offender from a case in Florida where he’d accepted a 2008 plea deal to avoid federal charges. In 2019, he was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges. His death in his jail cell in August 2019 was ruled a suicide.

Attia said he asked Epstein about his 2008 conviction in Florida and said Epstein “characterized it as prostitution-related charges.”

“In 2018, I came to learn this was grossly minimized,” Attia said. But he also maintained, “I never witnessed illegal behavior and never saw anyone who appeared underage in his presence.”

Attia is the founder of Outlive, an app that translates longevity science into personalized daily practice, and Early Medical, a medical practice that aims to help patients lengthen their healthy lifespan. He is the host of the podcast “The Peter Attia Drive” and author of “Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity.”
