Talent agency Gersh has dropped Succession actor Dasha Nekrasova as a client following an interview she conducted with white nationalist Nick Fuentes on her podcast Red Scare.<\/p>\n
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news on Sunday, a few weeks after Nekrasova hosted Fuentes on an episode of Red Scare, which she co-hosts with Anna Khachiyan. Nekrasova was previously represented by Gersh agent Jason Klorfein.<\/p>\n

Nekrasova has additionally been dropped from a previously announced role in actor Gabriel Basso\u2019s directorial debut Iconoclast, THR has confirmed. Basso is known for playing the lead in Netflix\u2019s The Night Agent and J.D. Vance in the streamer\u2019s adaptation of Hillbilly Elegy.<\/p>\n
Nekrasova told Fuentes at the top of the more than two and a half hour podcast that \u201cI\u2019m such a fan, honestly.\u201d They talked about Hasan Piker, vaccinations and Kanye West, among other topics.<\/p>\n
THR has reached out to Nekrasova\u2019s attorney for comment. On the social platform X, Nekrasova reposted a Variety story about being dropped from Gersh.<\/p>\n
On HBO\u2019s acclaimed series Succession, Nekrasova played Comfrey, a publicist for Jeremy Strong\u2019s media scion character and a love interest for Nicholas Braun\u2019s hapless \u201cCousin Greg.\u201d In a small part in the A24 film Materialists, she plays a friend of Dakota Johnson\u2019s main character and a fellow matchmaker. Nekrasova has also appeared in The Beast, Dickinson and Mr. Robot.<\/p>\n
The far-right Fuentes heads a group of so-called \u201cgroypers\u201d who oppose immigration into the U.S. and feminism and espouse extreme Christian nationalist views. Fuentes has generally remained on the fringe of the political right, and a recent appearance on former Fox News host Tucker Carlson\u2019s podcast \u2014 where he said, among other remarks, that \u201corganized Jewry in America\u201d challenged American unity \u2014 has sparked backlash and divided the \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d movement.<\/p>\n
