Dasha Nekrasova, an actress known for her work in projects like HBO’s *Succession* and A24’s *Materialists*, has been fired by Gersh following a recent podcast interview with far-right political commentator Nick Fuentes, Deadline has confirmed with a spokesperson for the agency. Deadline has reached out to Nekrasova for comment and will update the story if and when a statement from the actress is issued.
The interview in question was posted on YouTube a month ago and was part of *Red Scare*, a cultural commentary podcast that Nekrasova has co-hosted with Anna Khachiyan since 2018. The video is titled “Fuentanyl OD Nick Fuentes x Red Scare (Dasha Nekrasova and Anna Khachiyan)” and runs for over two and a half hours.
Due to what Nekrasova describes as “technical problems” in the text under the video, the interview is essentially audio-only, alternating repeatedly between a few images of Nekrasova, Khachiyan, and Fuentes together.
The conversation, which has been viewed over 220,000 times to date, touches on numerous controversial topics. The trio discusses “international jewery” multiple times, perpetuating offensive stereotypes about Jews, Italians, Asians, and others. The dialogue also includes troubling remarks about immigrants from developing countries, particularly non-white ones.
Nekrasova and Khachiyan’s guest, Nick Fuentes, is known as the leader of the “Groypers,” a movement of young right-wing activists who critique mainstream conservatism and advocate for more extreme positions.
Fuentes is widely regarded as holding more extreme views than figures like Charlie Kirk—the Trump-allied media personality who was assassinated on September 10 during a Utah debate event. Kirk himself was controversial due to his stances on immigration, race, the January 6th insurrection, and Covid-19.
According to CNN, Fuentes is a “well-known White nationalist and Holocaust denier.” Publicly, the livestreamer has identified as a Christian nationalist, promoting anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist, and misogynist views. He has also criticized Kirk’s conservative organization, Turning Point USA, for not adopting a sufficiently hardline approach.
This development marks a significant fallout for Nekrasova amid ongoing debates surrounding free speech and accountability in the entertainment industry.
