Hollywood talent agency Gersh has ended its relationship with actress Dasha Nekrasova, known for her role in HBO’s hit show Succession. The agency confirmed that it dropped her after she invited far-right commentator Nick Fuentes on her podcast Red Scare. The episode, posted on YouTube on October 10, sparked strong criticism because Fuentes is widely known for promoting racist and antisemitic ideas.
Gersh Drops Actress Dasha Nekrasova After Controversy
In the podcast video, Nekrasova and her co-host Anna Khachiyan discussed several political topics with Fuentes. These included his growing popularity, the Charlie Kirk assassination incident, immigration issues, Kanye West, vaccines, and the “Groyper army,” a group linked to extremist beliefs. The episode received nearly 300,000 views across platforms, drawing more attention to the controversy and increasing pressure on Gersh to respond.

Nick Fuentes has long been a divisive figure in American politics. Many critics, including people from the political right, have labeled him a white nationalist. A recent New York Times report highlighted how Fuentes called for an exclusive “pro-white Christian movement” and made comments blaming “organized Jewry” for harming American unity. His interview with conservative host Tucker Carlson also created a major uproar, leading to heated debates within right-wing circles.
Dasha Nekrasova is best known for playing Comfrey Pellits, a member of Kendall Roy’s team and a brief love interest for cousin Greg on Succession. She appeared in nine episodes of the series. Her other TV roles include The Serpent, Dickinson, and Mr. Robot. She has also worked in films such as Materialists and The Scary of Sixty-First, the latter of which she wrote and directed. This is not her first brush with controversy; in 2023, she made remarks in a New Yorker interview that were widely criticized for being offensive.
