“Succession” actress Dasha Nekrasova has been dropped by her talent agency, Gersh, a spokesperson confirmed. The move comes after far-right commentator Nick Fuentes appeared on Nekrasova’s podcast, “Red Scare,” which she co-hosts with Anna Khachiyan.
The episode, uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 10, featured discussions on Fuentes’ rise in prominence, the Charlie Kirk assassination, immigration, Kanye West, vaccines, the “Groyper army,” and other topics. The original video has accumulated 220,000 views, with a repost gaining an additional 69,000 views.
Fuentes has faced criticism, even from some conservative circles, for leading the so-called “Groyper” movement, which promotes racist and antisemitic beliefs. A recent report labeled the 27-year-old as a white nationalist and noted that his interview with right-wing host Tucker Carlson sparked controversy within the American right.
During that interview, it was reported, Fuentes “called for an exclusive, ‘pro-white,’ Christian movement and said that ‘organized Jewry’ undermines American cohesion.”
On “Succession,” Nekrasova portrayed Comfrey Pellits, a member of Kendall Roy’s PR team and briefly cousin Greg’s girlfriend, appearing in nine episodes. Her other television credits include “The Serpent,” “Dickinson,” and “Mr. Robot.” She has also acted in films such as “Materialists” and “The Scary of Sixty-First,” the latter of which she wrote and directed.
Nekrasova has courted controversy before. In a 2023 New Yorker profile, she was quoted saying, “Francis is not the real Pope, we all know it. You’re not gonna get rid of the Freemasons. You’re not gonna get rid of the Jews. They infiltrated the Church a long ago.”
