Lara Logan has been dropped by United Talent Agency over her November remarks comparing Dr Anthony Fauci to the Nazi 'Angel of Death', Josef Mengele.
Seth Oster, chief communications officer for UTA, confirmed to Mediaite that the agency cut ties with Logan several weeks ago.
Logan was let go over her 'highly offensive' and 'unacceptable' comments, which sparked outrage within the agency, a source told Mediaite.
South African-born Logan, 50, angered many with her November 29 appearance on Fox News.
Host Pete Hegseth, a known critic of coronavirus vaccine mandates and masking policies, accused the Biden administration of overhyping Omicron.
'There's no justification for putting people out of there jobs or forcing mandates for a disease that's ultimately very treatable, it's cheap to treat, medicines are available all over the world, and it has death rates that compare very much to seasonal flu,' said Logan.
'In that moment, what you see on Dr Fauci, what people say to me, is that he doesn't represent science to them.
'He represents Josef Mengele – the Nazi doctor who did experiments on Jews during the Second World War and in the concentration camps.'
Logan added: 'I'm talking about people all across the world who are saying this.'
Fox Nation presenter Lara Logan sparked a firestorm on November 29 when she compared Dr Anthony Fauci to the Nazi doctor Josef Mengele
'This is what people say to me, that he doesn't represent science to them. He represents Joseph Mengele,' Logan said of Dr Fauci. Mengele, dubbed the 'Angel of Death,' was a doctor at the Auschwitz death camp in occupied Poland who performed hideous experiments on prisoners

Josef Mengele
Josef Mengele had a doctorate in medicine from Frankfurt University, but used his knowledge in a sickening manner at the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he performed experiments as an SS physician from 1943 to 1945.
Although prisoners transferred to his wing to be studied escaped the gas chambers and were well fed, they often ultimately met an even more painful death.
Mengele regularly performed surgery without anaesthetic and would obtain bodies to work on simply by injecting chloroform into inmates' hearts while they slept, which would kill them in seconds.
He was most interested in heredity and once tried to change the colour of children's eyes by injecting chemicals directly into them.
Twins held a particular fascination for him and it's estimated that he examined around 3,000 - but only 100 pairs survived.
Pregnant women were also singled out. He was known to have performed vivisections on them before consigning them to the death chambers.
The so-called Angel of Death was on the Allied commanders' most-wanted list from 1944, but he escaped to South America and was never found, despite the best efforts of private investigators and the Israeli secret service, Mossad.

The comments prompted immediate backlash from the Anti-Defamation League and American Jewish Committee - both demanding apologies from the firebrand journalist.
Fox has remained silent amid the controversy, while Logan stood by her comments, going as far as to encourage attacks on the Auschwitz Museum for condemning her Nazi analogy.
Logan was previously a widely-respected journalist who joined CBS News in 2002, winning praise for her coverage in war zones including Afghanistan and Iraq.
Logan previously served as a reporter for CBS News' 60 Minutes, and was chief foreign correspondent and later chief foreign affairs correspondent for their news division until 2018.
In 2011, she was beaten and sexually assaulted by a mob while on assignment in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
Logan left CBS News after her tenure at the network was marred by a faulty report about the 2012 attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya — a story that was retracted, and for which she apologized.
In November 2019 Fox announced that she would from January 2020 produce 16 investigative episodes of a new show, Lara Logan Has No Agenda, focused on four subjects: media bias, immigration, socialism and veterans.
Her episodes have not aired since her remarks about Fauci, but on Monday she tweeted once again a link to the second episode of a story about
