The agency acted after her podcast hosted Nick Fuentes in a two-and-a-half-hour interview criticized for antisemitic rhetoric.

Overview

  • Gersh confirmed to multiple outlets that it ended its representation of the Succession actor following the Nick Fuentes episode of her Red Scare podcast.
  • The Hollywood Reporter confirmed Nekrasova was removed from a previously announced role in Gabriel Basso’s directorial debut Iconoclast.
  • The interview was uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 10, ran more than two and a half hours, and drew about 220,000 views, with a repost adding roughly 69,000 more.
  • Coverage notes repeated references to “international jewery” and other offensive stereotypes in the conversation, and identifies Fuentes as a white nationalist leading the “Groyper” movement.
