"Nekrasova is dealing with the consequences of an October 28 Red Scare episode in which she and co-host Anna Khachiyan spoke to Nick Fuentes, the assumed leader of the Groypers, a group of right-wing activists who are far more conservative than the even the current party in power. Fuentes has described himself as a "Christian nationalist," though critics and regular empathetic people have been inclined to refer to him as a white nationalist and Holocaust denier."
"That this is the episode that ruffled enough feathers in Hollywood to put Nekrasova on the chopping block is a bit of a surprise, as she's managed to successfully compartmentalize her work till now. It's unlikely this setback keeps Nekrasova off screens for very long. Maybe she can get in touch with Mel Gibson or one of Trump's Hollywood ambassadors, who are presumably there to help with HR issues like this."
Dasha Nekrasova was fired by the Gersh agency and removed from Gabriel Basso's film Iconoclast following her appearance on an October 28 Red Scare episode with Nick Fuentes. Fuentes is the presumed leader of the Groypers and has described himself as a "Christian nationalist"; critics call him a white nationalist and Holocaust denier. The episode reportedly included offensive comments and stereotypes about various ethnic and religious communities. Red Scare previously hosted controversial figures such as Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones. Nekrasova has acting credits in Succession and Materialists, and the industry consequences may be temporary.
