On Sunday, CAA confirmed that Dakhil also would, for the time being, give up her position as co-head of the motion picture department. While stepping back from some of her responsibilities, the powerful agent will continue working with her current A-list clientele, CAA said.In addition to the post, Dakhil wrote, “That’s the line for me.”
She shared a second photo with the caption, “What’s more heartbreaking than witnessing genocide? Witnessing the denial that genocide is happening.”“I made a mistake with a repost in my Instagram story, which used hurtful language. Like so many of us, I have been reeling with heartbreak. I pride myself on being on the side of humanity and peace,” she told Variety.
The agent continued: “I’m so grateful to Jewish friends and colleagues who pointed out the implications and further educated me. I immediately took the repost down. I’m sorry for the pain I have caused.”“Choice of words is important. Dialogue is healing. As each excruciating day passes, I’m listening and learning more from my friends. Thank you,” she wrote. “I’m holding all our families in my prayers…I am grieving for everyone who is suffering right now. I continue to mourn all innocent lives.
