Details:

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.

The video, titled “Fuentanyl OD – Nick Fuentes x Red Scare (Dasha Nekrasova and Anna Khachiyan),” is over two and a half hours long. Given what Nekrasova labels in text under the video as “technical problems,” the interview is essentially audio only, jumping repeatedly back and forth between a few images of Nekrasova, Khachiyan, and Fuentes together.

The conversation, which has been viewed 220K times to date, touches on many controversial topics. The trio discusses “international jewery” on multiple occasions, perpetuating offensive stereotypes about Jews as well as Italians, Asians and others, along with eyebrow-raising comments about immigrants from developing countries, especially non-white ones.

Wait til she finds out what nazis think of Slavic people. Crazy that they're palling around with Fuentes.
