Actor and podcaster Dasha Nekrasova\u2014best known, in many circles, for her supporting turn on HBO\u2019s\u00a0Succession, as crisis PR operative\/Cousin Greg love interest Comfrey\u2014has reportedly been fired by her representation at Gersh. Specifically,\u00a0Deadline\u00a0reports<\/a> that Nekrasova has been let go by the agency due to her controversial long-running political podcast\u00a0Red Scare, and even more specifically due to her decision to conduct a 2.5-hour interview with far-right political figure Nick Fuentes.<\/p>\n

Nekrasova has long blended her espoused political views\u2014which have reportedly swung along the outer edges of a number of different portions of the spectrum over the last several years\u2014with her more mainstream work, having gained early attention for touting pro-Bernie Sanders comments on Alex Jones\u2019 InfoWars. She started her own podcast, co-hosted by Anna Khachiyan, in 2018, occasionally raising eyebrows with the show\u2019s \u201cdirtbag left\u201d-adjacent political stances and statements, but never in a way that seemed to directly impact her more mainstream career. That appears to have changed with the interview with Fuentes, though, who\u2019s considered the leader of the far-right \u201cgroypers,\u201d a loose-knit organization that describes itself as \u201cChristian nationalist\u201d and \u201cAmerica First,\u201d and which tends to get described by everybody else as racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic, and plenty more besides. The conversation between Fuentes, Nekrasova, and Khachiyan, which was originally broadcast in late October, but has circulated more widely in recent weeks, doesn\u2019t do much to disabuse listeners of those sentiments, either, including conversations that seem to reinforce negative stereotypes about immigrants and ethnic groups, with a special amount of focus put on Jewish people.<\/p>\n

In any case, it pretty clearly crossed a line for Gersh, which cut ties with Nekrasova earlier on Friday. At the same time,\u00a0Deadline\u00a0reports that a film role that she\u2019d previously booked, in Gabriel Basso\u2019s upcoming film\u00a0Iconoclast, had also been pulled, before she\u2019d actually signed contracts on the film.<\/p>\n
