Who is Maha Dakhil and how Tom Cruise saved her from being fired? 

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
November 23, 2023

Maha Dakhil, who is a famous Hollywood agent, made headlines for leaving her leadership positions at CAA over her stance on Israel-Hamas.

Things got under control after she was saved by Tom Cruise. Let’s find out how he saved her and what she actually posted about Palestine and Israel. 

Who is Maha Dakhil?

The daughter of immigrant parents from Gaza, Dakhil is a 48-year-old Sunni Muslim of Caucasian origin who was born in Los Angeles in July 1975.

Since December 2013, she has been married to film producer Matt Jackson, with whom she has a daughter, Serene Jackson, while other facts about her children are unknown.

Education and career

Her academic credentials include a law degree from the University of California-Los Angeles. Dakhil’s career began with the literary agency Genesis, where she was instrumental in the Time’s Up campaign.

Controversy

She was working as a talent agent at CAA, where she has significant responsibilities in the Motion Picture and International Film Groups when the controversy surrounding her resignation began from a now-deleted Instagram post in which she expressed her sadness about the Israel-Hamas war.

Dakhil in her post said, “What’s more heartbreaking than witnessing genocide? Witnessing the denial that genocide is happening.” She then faced internal backlash and resigned from the agency’s board after she also reposted an image on Instagram that read, in part, “You’re currently learning who supports genocide.” She had added in the caption, “That’s the line for me.”

After backlash from within and rivals agencies, Maha Dakhil had deleted both images and made a public apology. “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,” Maha had said in a statement in October.

Networth and celebrity clients

Despite the attention, Maha Dakhil maintains a good job and a net worth of $1 million. She gained renown for representing Hollywood A-listers such as Tom Cruise and Reese Witherspoon.

How did Crusie become her saviour?

Tom Cruise showed support for his agent Maha Dakhil and made it known to CAA that he was backing her.  

As per the report, Tom Cruise met with Maha Dakhil at her CAA office on November 15. A source told the portal that Tom ‘took the rare step of going in person to show support for his embattled agent’.
