Actress Dasha Nekrasova Fired By Gersh, Dropped From Movie Amid Backlash Over Podcast Interview With Far-Right Political Commentator Nick Fuentes

Dasha Nekrasova, an actress known for her work in projects like HBO's Succession and A24's Materialists, has been fired by Gersh over a recent podcast interview with far-right political commentator Nick Fuentes, Deadline has confirmed with a spokesperson for the agency.

While recently announced via Deadline as being cast in Iconoclast, a thriller marking the directorial debut of The Night Agent's Gabriel Basso, Nekravosa has also just had her contract for the film pulled before it was signed, we're told, over the same podcast. While the Fuentes podcast was published on YouTube a month ago, it only began making its way around Hollywood in the last couple of days, triggering immediate reactions to disavow comments deemed deeply problematic.
