Milo Yiannopoulos Strikes Back (sues Simon and schuster)
Publishers Weekly ^ | 7-7-17 | John Maher

Posted on 07/07/2017 1:54:46 PM PDT by dynachrome

At a rain-soaked rally on July 7 in Midtown Manhattan, about 100-150 fans and a large contingent of police lined the sidewalk by S&S's offices. There, just after noon, Yiannopoulos announced that he had filed a lawsuit against Simon & Schuster with the Supreme Court of the State of New York earlier that morning. S&S, he said, let him keep $80,000 of the advance he had been paid. He is seeking damages of "at least" $10 million. "They have to pay for silencing conservatives," he said at the rally. "How many books could I have sold with their marketing muscle?"

Good for Milo. I hope he gets the whole $10 million. It will help him spread the word against the Leftists.

Bought, read, and reviewed his book (5 stars). In the final chapter, he offers this: “My whole career so far has been an experiment in identity politics designed to reduce the Left to tears and incoherence. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll come out as straight and we can all laugh at how I pulled the wool over their eyes?”

As long as he’s being effective for our side, I don’t care what he does on his own time.

Glad to see he’s back and fighting.

I heard him today advertising his book “Dangerous” - he must have gotten a new publisher. I plan on buying it to support him.

From a site that is not welcome here. The guy that runs it sez:

“My expectation is that despite its posturing about prevailing “in court” - they are sending a message that they will not settle - S&S will settle for paying off Milo. Why? Because they absolutely do NOT want this to go to discovery. Remember, I am a former Pocket Books author with connections inside S&S, and I have heard that there were conversations between S&S and Amazon concerning Milo and his book that neither company will want to be made public via discovery.”

I don’t care what he does on his own time.

Even if he puts other men's penises in his mouth?

Even if he lets other men put their penises in his butt?

Really? That's all fine with you?

I hate gays, I lived in San Francisco and I love MILO.

I think he really plays up a lot of the black BJ stuff in order to paralyze leftist attacks on him, I think it’s a strategy and it’s effective.

He also uses the word darling as a poison rapier and that simple tactic also works.

he’s the only gay guy who brags about his lifestyle who I support.

there are gays that will really shove it in your face and it’s infuriating.

That is interesting and of course they don’t want don’t want discovery.

Thanks for the insightful info.

Milo has put the Left in a bad spot. They can’t really criticize him for speaking the truth and exposing so much that makes them uncomfortable, etc.

Why are you so obsessed with other people’s sex lives? You seem to think about it in graphic detail a lot. Kind of weird if you ask me.

I am very happy to see Milo’s success and that he is suing Simon & Schuster!

Hillary has done far worse to the detriment and injury countless people and our country, yet she is lauded by the left and kept her book deal.
