Beyonce’s agent and UTA partner Andrea Nelson Meigs announced that she’s leaving United Talent Agency, one of the biggest Hollywood agencies in them roll. Her announcement comes just days after UTA refused to drop comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, whose racist remarks at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally last weekend continue to have ripple effects on the presidential election.

Media take Out was not able to confirm whether Andrea’s departure had anything to do with UTA’s support of the controversial comedian – but it seems more than coincidental.

Beyonce’s agent, who was an equity partner in UTA announced that she will depart the company at the end of the year. The news was announced to employees Friday morning,Media The Out confirmed.

“Andrea has had a remarkable career that has spanned decades, representing and helping build the careers of some of the biggest names in entertainment. We thank Andrea for her many contributions to UTA. We are sad to see her go and support her in her transition as she starts her next chapter,” Chris Hart and Jay Gassner said in a joint statement.

Andrea Meigs joined UTA in 2020 after a long run at ICM and her clients included Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Courtney B. Vance, Ellen Burstyn, Quvenzhane Wallis, Aunjanue Ellis and Jill Scott.

She was described as a “trailblazer” who had a “significant impact” on the industry in an internal memo to staff. The memo also noted that she trained many and amplified “important and diverse voices, particularly for women and people of color.”
