Selma Blair now has parted ways with not only her agents at CAA but her publicity team and her lawyers as well. For years, Blair was represented by manager Troy Nankin at Wishlab as well as attorney Cheryl Snow at Gang, Tyre, Ramer, Brown & Passman.
A CAA representative confirmed the split without divulging further informations. The change-up comes weeks after Blair was criticised 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.”
Following her comment, she received heavy backlash, prompting her to post 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.”
