Influencer Bryan Johnson and podcast host Peter Attia are under fire for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. A recent release of Epstein’s files revealed dozens of emails between the two men, showing a close relationship that has sparked outrage in the self-optimization internet.
Johnson, who criticized AG1 nutritional supplement, had never met Epstein but claimed he was unaware of his conviction as a sex offender. Attia, on the other hand, had a personal and professional connection with Epstein, including meeting at his homes and discussing lab results and longevity strategies.
AG1 has removed Dr. Attia from its advisory board, while David, the protein bar company where Attia served as chief science officer, announced his departure from the role. Dave Asprey also joined the fray, condemning Attia’s credibility in the field of longevity and as a person. The scandal is highlighting the need for these influencers to be more transparent about their relationships and actions.
As the fallout continues, Johnson is once again at the center of attention, this time due to his own handling of the situation. His response to Epstein’s files has been met with skepticism, and his critics are quick to point out his past behavior. The longevity bros may need to re-examine their priorities and learn to work together, rather than tearing each other down.
