Talent Agency Drops Succession Actor Over Controversial Podcast Interview

In a recent development, the talent agency Gersh has severed ties with Succession actor Dasha Nekrasova. This decision comes after Nekrasova hosted white nationalist Nick Fuentes on an episode of her podcast Red Scare, which she co-hosts with Anna Khachiyan.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news on Sunday, a few weeks after the controversial podcast episode aired. Nekrasova, who previously was represented by Gersh agent Jason Klorfein, has also been dropped from a previously announced role in actor Gabriel Basso's directorial debut Iconoclast.

During the more than two and a half hour podcast, Nekrasova told Fuentes, "I'm such a fan, honestly." The two discussed various topics, including Hasan Piker, vaccinations, and Kanye West.

Nekrasova's association with the far-right Fuentes, who heads a group of so-called "groypers" and espouses extreme Christian nationalist views, has led to this professional fallout. The decision by Gersh and the removal from the Iconoclast project underscore the consequences of Nekrasova's actions.
