USA: Ex- Breitbart Ed. Milo Yiannopoulos files $10 mln lawsuit against publisher

United States, New York City

July 7, 2017 at 07:58 GMT +00:00 · Published

Former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos told the press and his gathering of fans that he was suing publishing company Simon & Schuster for "at least $10 million" (€8.8 million) over their refusal to take on his book 'Dangerous' on Friday, when speaking in front of their offices in New York City.

"We had a deal, they broke that deal, they have breached that contract and for that breach of contract I am suing them today for ten million dollars," Yiannopoulos said.

Simon & Schuster reportedly retracted their agreement to publish his book, following the release of a video of Yiannopoulos, for which he has since received allegations of condoning pedophilia. Yiannopoulos has denied the allegations.

The former Breitbart editor then stated his support for US President Donald Trump, saying, "Donald Trump, just by being who he is, pisses off all the people I hate, and all the people you hate too," adding, "so long as he keeps tweeting outrageous things, I'll support him."
