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.

Selma Blair has been in pain her entire life, enduring bladder surgeries during her suburban Michigan childhood, getting unnecessary root canals as an adult and periodically even losing her vision. She had, and still has, ceaseless muscular-skeletal pain, and muscle contractions called dystonia in her neck that affect her speech. Blair just thought it was normal, that everyone feels these things — that to have a body means to tolerate pain.
“I’d compare myself to people,” Blair says. “I didn’t understand people didn’t hurt every day.” She pauses. “I’ve hurt since I can remember.”
While making those comparisons, Blair was not generous to herself. “I was chronically a miserable person,” she says with a dry laugh. “I was a loving person, but yeah: miserable, a bit sharp, a bit snarky, a bit angry that I had to get up and do things when I just chronically felt unwell.

After collaborating on a number of hit songs over the years, Snoop Dogg and Jamie Foxx are now teaming up for vampire-hunter film “Day Shift.”
Also joining the ensemble cast are Meagan Good and Karla Souza.
Foxx stars in the new Netflix movie as a hard working, blue collar dad who wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted 8-year-old daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income — hunting and killing vampires as part of an international union of vampire hunters.

In August 2018, after years of self-professed “unhealthy” living and a litany of symptoms that scared the hell out of her, actress Selma Blair received a startling diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. Suddenly, a lot made sense: the tremors that kept her from everyday living, the incipient terror that had often led her to drink, a leg that always seemed to want to drag behind her. But with the diagnosis came different fears and worries, including the big one: Would she die from this?
Blair, best known for her work in films like “Cruel Intentions” and “Legally Blonde” — a proud supporting actress, as she tells it — isn’t exactly resigned to her fate, and Rachel Fleit’s “Introducing, Selma Blair” lets that spirit, and all the emotions that come with it, frame this .
