Fears for delicate wildlife after A-list bash rages at Hamptons beach

Authorities are investigating potential damage to endangered piping plover birds after an A-list party hosted by nightlife guru Richie Akiva and fashion brand Elie Tahari took place on a Hamptons beach. The event, which drew celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio, Alix Earle, Mike Tyson, Tobey Maguire and Travis Scott, saw over 1,000 attendees despite only 400 being expected, with some gatecrashing through nearby woods. Village officials expressed concern that plover chicks may be dead or displaced from the beach, which is a vital breeding ground for the endangered species. Emails reviewed by Page Six show complaints about heavy equipment used to remove a temporary metal roadway left from the bash, as well as equipment and staging materials occupying limited public parking spaces on a hot summer day. The village clerk declined to comment on potential violations or whether the hosts would be barred from returning.
