Earlier this week, I was chatting with a pretty veteran CAA agent who was trying to convince me how disgusting it was that rivals WME and UTA had been calling clients to ask if they were still comfortable with their representatives. He was referring, of course, to the fallout from CAA motion picture co-head Maha Dakhil’s online posts suggesting Israel’s response to the Hamas attack was “genocide,” which drew outrage around town and led to her demotion. By Tuesday, Aaron Sorkin had defected from CAA to WME, citing Dakhil’s comments, and the chum was officially in the water, with sharks attempting to execute that time-honored Hollywood tradition of leveraging a rival’s perceived weakness. The Dakhil crisis, after all, is CAA’s first truly vulnerable moment since the “lawless midnight raid” of 2015, when a big chunk of its comedy group bailed for UTA. And the controversy has come on the heels of Julia Ormond’s bombshell lawsuit claiming that the agency’s leaders had “enabled’ sexual abuse by Harvey Weinstein, an allegation they deny.
