'Finally': Selma Blair mocked after she splits with Hollywood reps after Islamophobic comments

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Selma Blair, recognized for her roles in popular teen movies such as 'Cruel Intentions' and 'Legally Blonde' from the 1990s and early 2000s, has recently severed ties with her prominent Hollywood talent representatives. This decision follows controversy stemming from inflammatory anti-Muslim remarks shared on her Instagram account last month.

According to HuffPost, Blair has ended association with big-name agencies like Creative Artists Agency (CAA) as well as her publicity team at Narrative PR and other key members of her management circle.

Fallout comes after Selma Blair faced intense criticism for Islamophobic comment

Recent updates to her IMDb Pro profile suggest that Blair has also ended her professional relationships with several key members of her representation team, including her manager Troy Nankin and attorney Cheryl Snow.

Blair has replaced them with manager Ben Gaynor and attorneys Berlandi Nussbaum and Joshua Reitzas.

Blair encountered significant backlash in February following an Islamophobic comment she shared on Instagram in reaction to a video criticizing Representatives Cori Bush and Rashida Tlaib.

In the comment, which has since been deleted, Blair wrote, "Deport all these terrorist supporting goons. Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroy minds. They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate."

Selma Blair later apologized for her Islamophobic comment

Blair's inflammatory comment drew outrage on social media, with many accusing the actress of bigotry against Muslims.

"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," Blair later wrote in an apology posted to Instagram on February 13.

Blair's professional changes come at a pivotal time in her career. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, she has been a vocal advocate for disability rights and recently joined President Joe Biden at a ceremony commemorating the Americans With Disabilities Act.

The actress participated in 'Dancing With the Stars' in 2022, though health concerns led to her early exit from the competition.
