Dasha Nekrasova

Succession actor Dasha Nekrasova has been dropped by her talent agency after hosting far-right commentator Nick Fuentes on her podcast Red Scare.

Nekrasova is known for playing Comfrey Pellits in the Apple TV+ series, as well as appearing in the film Materialists. She is an outspoken supporter of US President Donald Trump, having previously revealed she voted for him in the 2024 US presidential election.

She has also shared conspiracy theories in the past, telling The New Yorker in a 2023 interview (via Variety): “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 time ago.”

She spoke with Fuentes on the October 10 episode of her podcast, in which they discussed the assassination of Charlie Kirk, immigration, and his fanbase, nicknamed The Groypers. Fuentes is a political commentator and live streamer, known for his views promoting white supremacy, anti-Semitism, and anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. His opinions have drawn criticism on both sides of the political divide and made him a controversial figure.

Now, Variety has reported that her talent agency, Gersh, has let the actress go following the appearance. Deadline have also reported that she has been dropped from the forthcoming thriller Iconoclast, directed by The Night Agent star Gabriel Basso.

Nekrasova herself has not released any formal statement about the episode or the incident, but on her X (formerly Twitter) account, she has made pointed comments regarding the controversy.

She replied to one post that “Trump said it was fine to talk to Nick”, while she also criticised Jonathan Daniel Brown, a producer cited by The Hollywood Reporter as having repeatedly reported the actress’ comments to Gersh.

“Tremendous story about a brave man and his years long quest to punish a podcaster who had the audacity to have a job” she posted above a link to the article, with a picture of Brown also included.
