The last time we saw Milo Yiannopolous he was dropping the lawsuit he filed against publisher Simon & Schuster over the cancellation of his book deal. This was despite the fact that the discovery process had already made public the embarrassing notes process in which his increasingly frustrated editor repeatedly …
Today in schadenfreude: Milo Yiannopoulos, the former Breitbart tech editor (and attention-addicted former darling of the “alt-right”) has just asked for his $10 million lawsuit against publisher Simon & Schuster to be dismissed by the New York State Supreme Court. Tried, at least; Yiannopoulos is currently…
In the entire U.S. legal system, the biggest power move you can make—other than bringing in bags and bags of letters to Santa—is to fire your legal counsel and go rogue. It sends a very clear message that you’re someone who knows exactly what to do, has no interest in messing around, and will only be held back by…
It’s possible that Simon & Schuster didn’t really understand what a headache it was getting itself into when it decided to publish a book from real-world trollface meme Milo Yiannopoulos, a decision that’s forced the publisher to deal with author boycotts, public disgrace, and, now, an ongoing lawsuit from…
After losing his book deal and Breitbart job for appearing to condone pedophilia, Milo Yiannopoulos continued to try to peddle his alt-white propaganda anywhere he could, including at speaking engagements that were canceled before he even arrived. But despite recently losing the support of his longtime backer,…
For those of us who had yet to realize that 2016 was the year we had to start looking out for a fresh, hip new breed of Nazi wannabes, Milo Yiannopoulos came as something of a shock. Openly gay, extremely outspoken, and absolutely committed to a) building his brand, and b) spreading his employer Breitbart News’…
Operating on the presumed assumption that going where people vocally don’t want him—i.e., everywhere—and saying the things people don’t want him to say—i.e., everything—has never worked out less than swimmingly for him in the past, political yapper Milo Yiannopoulos has pledged to speak tomorrow at UC Berkeley, even…
Dragging himself—like some sort of relentless, attention-fueled Terminator—from the trash heap of two dozen news cycles ago, former Breitbart mouthpiece Milo Yiannopoulos has emerged to sue book publisher Simon & Schuster for $10 million over a book deal gone south. Yiannapolous’ complaint centers on the the…
Real-world troll and alleged “writer” Milo Yiannopoulos had a speaking engagement at UC-Berkeley canceled back in February, after protests against his appearance turned violent with the arrival of some masked agitators who started throwing bricks, smashed windows, and even started a fire outside the student center…
After Milo Yiannopoulos lost his Twitter account, a book deal, and Breitbart job—no thanks to Bill Maher, no matter what the Real Time host says—it looked like the “alt-right” mouthpiece had been fully divested of a platform from which to spew his hate. But now that the “alt-right” is embedded in the White House, you…
The New York Times reports that conservative pundit Ann Coulter has dropped her plans to speak in Berkeley, California, a city that has rapidly shed its “peaceful hippie commune” vibe in favor of becoming an ongoing fight club between political protesters. Coulter—an intentional political gadfly whose greatest hits…
Over the last several years, “alt-right” firebrand Milo Yiannopolis has mobilized a rabid fan base of noxious, mouth-breathing racists by exploiting his status as a gay man who nevertheless embraces the right’s misogyny, Islamophobia, and general lack of inclusivity. Well, now that our laughter’s dying down in the…
Bill Maher has endured plenty of backlash for his recent hosting of Milo Yiannopoulos, the trolling, tittering face of the “alt right,” on Real Time, for a conversation that finally took Yiannopoulos to task for his hateful, incendiary rhetoric against, uh, Lena Dunham. Maher treated Yiannopoulos like an amusing…
Dumpster fires continue to rage this year—or, if you’re tired of that expression, a whole landfill inferno—with only occasional extinguishing, like when Simon & Schuster decided to pull Milo Yiannopoulous’ book deal. The former Breitbart editor/troll at large has had quite a week, really: Larry Wilmore told him to…
Before Milo Yiannopoulos had even set foot in the studio to record his appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher, there was already a strong backlash against the comedian host for even having him on. Giving this trolling blogger the platform of an HBO show was only playing into his hands and boosting his agenda, the…
In what is hopefully a sweet, schadenfreude-laden harbinger of political events to come, Milo Yiannopoulos just resigned from his job as an editor at ”alt-right” torchbearer Breitbart before they could fire his ass. In a statement that ran in Variety, this millennial Nixon says, “I would be wrong to allow my poor…
Yesterday, the Ghostbusters 2-esque river of slime that flows out of ironic Trump Nazi Milo Yiannopoulos’ mouth finally became cause for concern for publisher Simon & Schuster, who decided to call in a plumber and flush Yiannopoulos’ book Dangerous from its publishing schedule. Which is cool and all, but Bad Feminist …
In case you missed this week’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, Milo Yiannopoulos is all the internet’s worst attributes made flesh, formed from the dregs of discarded Monster Energy drinks and conjured into existence by the low rumbling of a million “U mad, bros?” In other words, he’s a Breitbart editor. This…
Bill Maher’s much-touted Real Time interview with “alt-right” hatemonger Milo Yiannopoulos happened tonight, and it played out exactly how you’d expect: Yiannopoulos peddled his usual mixture of self-aggrandizement, half-hearted “It’s just a joke!” defenses, and vicious attacks on celebrity women like Lena Dunham and…
Following negotiations that probably consisted of, “hey, do you want to be on TV?” “Always,” Deadline reports that Breitbart jagoff—we refuse to call him a “provocateur,” because he probably enjoys that—Milo Yiannopoulos will in fact appear on this week’s episode of Real Time With Bill Maher. Now, to be fair to the…
