Selma Blair is changing up her team.
The actress has parted ways with her agents at CAA as well as her publicity team at Narrative, sources confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. It also appears that she’s made changes to her management and legal reps as well. For years, Blair has been represented by manager Troy Nankin at Wishlab as well as attorney Cheryl Snow at Gang, Tyre, Ramer, Brown & Passman.
It appears someone swapped out those names on Blair’s rep card on IMDbPro on Thursday with the names Ben Gaynor (also a manager at Wishlab) as her new manager and attorney Joshua Reitzas at Berlandi Nussbaum & Reitzas, though none of the names on that list were available for comment in the evening when THR reached out. Blair also did not return a request for comment, but it is understood that she made the decision to clean house.
A CAA rep confirmed the split but did not offer a reason. The change-up comes weeks after the Cruel Intentions actress faced backlash for posting an anti-Islam comment on another Instagram user’s video, which was seemingly defending the Jewish community in the wake of the Israel–Hamas war.
In a since-deleted comment, Blair wrote, “Thank you so much. Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroyed minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.”
After people took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the actress, she posted a lengthy apology on her social media.
“This is a time of great pain and anguish for many around the world, but it is also a time to learn and better understand how words matter,” she wrote in the post. “I commented on a post by Abraham Hamra regarding two congress members who are against banning October 7th Hamas terrorists from entering the USA. In my comment, I mistakenly and inadvertently conflated Muslims with Radical Islamists and fundamentalists, a terrible err in my words, and resulted in hurting countless people I never meant to, and I deeply regret this. As soon as my error was brought to my attention, I deleted the comment.”
Blair continued her apology, “I apologize to those in the Muslim community who I offended with my words. I apologize to my friends. And I apologize to anyone I hurt. And I will do better. With appreciation, love and respect. Selma.”
