\n Aaron Sorkin has dropped CAA and returned to WME\u00a0over a critical post of Israel made by its co-chief of the motion pictures department, Maha Dakhil.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cMaha isn\u2019t an antisemite, she\u2019s just wrong. She\u2019s a great agent and I\u2019m very proud of the work we did together over the last six years. I\u2019m excited to be returning to WME,\u201d the prolific scribe told The Hollywood Reporter. <\/em>The writer behind The Social<\/a> Network<\/em> and The West Wing<\/em> had been repped by WME until a 2017 move over to rival CAA. <\/p>\n

\n Dakhil, whose A-list client roster includes Tom Cruise, Natalie Portman and Reese Witherspoon, came under scrutiny for an Instagram repost that referenced \u201cgenocide\u201d on the part of Israel amid a war in Gaza. That post was later deleted and Dakhil apologized for the remarks.<\/p>\n

\n As the repost reverberated in the industry, the agent stepped away from her leadership role in the division for now, as of Oct. 22. Additionally, she\u2019s resigning from CAA\u2019s internal agency board.<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI made a mistake with a repost in my Instagram story, which used hurtful language,\u201d Dakhil said in an Oct. 19 statement. \u201cLike so many of us, I have been reeling with heartbreak. I pride myself on being on the side of humanity and peace. I\u2019m so grateful to Jewish friends and colleagues who pointed out the implications and further educated me. I immediately took the repost down. I\u2019m sorry for the pain I have caused.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The exit of a top client at the Century City-based agency reflects the polarized social media environment the weeks since Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel and the country\u2019s ongoing response in Gaza. Even before the war began, the rise of antisemitic incidents in Los Angeles \u2014 the Anti-Defamation League issued a report in March stating that 2022 was a \u201crecord-setting<\/a>\u201d year for incidents of harassment and vandalism in the city \u2014\u00a0had sparked a broader conversation. <\/p>\n

\n CAA was among the many Hollywood companies that issued statements condemning Hamas, saying on Oct. 10 that it \u201cstands with the people of Israel, the Jewish community and all innocent victims in the face of terrorism.\u201d Studios, including Disney, Paramount and Comcast, also pledged donations to humanitarian efforts in the days following the initial attack. <\/p>\n

\n The agency\u2019s CEO Bryan Lourd and co-chairmen Richard Lovett and Kevin Huvane additionally signed an Oct. 12 open letter, created by the nonprofit organization Creative Community for Peace,\u00a0that read: \u201cAs Israel takes the necessary steps to defend its citizens in the coming days and weeks, social media will be overrun by an orchestrated misinformation campaign spearheaded by Iran. We urge everyone to remember the horrific images that came out of Israel and to not amplify or fall for their propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
