“Succession” actress Dasha Nekrasova has been fired from her agency, Gersh, a spokesperson confirmed to Variety. The actress was fired after appearing on Nekrasova’s Red Scare podcast, co-hosted by far-right commentator Nick Fuentes and Anna Khachiyan.
In a podcast video uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 10, the hosts discussed Fuentes’ rise to fame, as well as the assassination of Charlie Kirk, immigration, Kanye West, vaccines and the “Groyper Army.” The video received 220,000 views and the repost received an additional 69,000 views.
Fuentes has also been criticized by some on the right for being a leader of the so-called “Groyper” movement, a racist and anti-Semitic belief system. A recent New York Times article described the 27-year-old as a white supremacist and noted that right-wing host Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Fuentes had sparked intense condemnation and condemnation from the American right. ” In Carlson’s interview, the Times noted that Fuentes “called for an exclusive ‘pro-white’ Christian movement and said ‘organized Jews’ undermined American unity.”
In “Succession,” Nekrasova played Comfrey Peritz, a member of Kendall Roy’s public relations team (and briefly the girlfriend of Cousin Greg), for nine episodes. Her other television credits include “The Serpent,” “Dickinson” and “Mr. Robot.” Her film work includes “The Materialist” and “The Scary of Sixty-First,” which she wrote and directed.
Nekrasova has made controversial statements in the past. In a 2023 New Yorker article, she reportedly said, “Francis is not the real pope, we all know that. … We’re not going to get rid of the Freemasons. We’re not going to get rid of the Jews. They invaded the church a long time ago.”
