Drew Angerer—Getty Images by [Nick Maslow / Entertainment Weekly](https://time.com/author/entertainment-weekly/) ## Nick Maslow / Entertainment Weekly Feb 21, 2017 1:28 AM UTC Milo Yiannopoulos’s _Dangerous_ will no longer be published by Simon & Schuster. The Breitbart News editor’s book deal was canceled after [comments Yiannopolous appeared to make about pedophilia](http://time.com/4676423/milo-yiannopoulos-cpac-2017-invitation-invite-rescinded/) surfaced online. “After careful consideration, Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint have canceled publication of _Dangerous_ by Milo Yiannopoulos,” the publisher said in a statement released Monday. Yiannopoulos also shared the news on Facebook Monday, writing, “They canceled my book.” The controversial conservative reportedly had a $250,000 deal with the right-leaning imprint for his book, which was slated for release in June, according to [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/milo-yiannopoulos-strikes-250k-book-deal-959745). Yiannopoulos’s latest scandal comes after clips of comments he reportedly made during [an interview with The Drunken Peasants](http://time.com/4676423/milo-yiannopoulos-cpac-2017-invitation-invite-rescinded/) surfaced online. “In the homosexual world particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men, the sort of coming-of-age relationships in which those older men have helped those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable — and sort of a rock where they can’t speak to their parents,” Yiannopoulos says in the clip. Following backlash over Yiannopoulos’s comments, The American Conservative Union (ACU) rescinded its invitation to Yiannopoulos to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are expected to appear. Yiannopoulos on Monday defended himself in a Facebook post, writing in part, “I do not advocate for illegal behavior.” Last week, Yiannopoulos was criticized for [sexist comments](http://ew.com/tv/2017/02/17/milo-yiannopoulos-spars-with-bill-maher-attacks-female-comics/) he made on HBO’s _Real Time_, where fellow guest Larry Wilmore told Yiannopoulos to [“go f— yourself.”](http://ew.com/tv/2017/02/17/larry-wilmore-milo-yiannopoulos/) _This_ [_story_](http://ew.com/books/2017/02/20/milo-yiannopouloss-book-canceled-simon-schuster/) _first appeared on_ [_EW.com_](https://ew.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"OpinionNewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4676180/milo-yiannopoulos-book-deal-canceled/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4676180/milo-yiannopoulos-book-deal-canceled/"},"headline":"Simon & Schuster Has Canceled Its Milo Yiannopoulos Book Deal","datePublished":"2017-02-21T01:28:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T03:25:18.684Z","description":"The move comes after comments Yiannopolous appeared to make about pedophilia surfaced online.","url":"https://time.com/4676180/milo-yiannopoulos-book-deal-canceled/","keywords":["Books","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0020626f1abdf95f/6988bb11cf40a81799c4687f/gettyimages-540444666.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nick Maslow / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Ideas","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0020626f1abdf95f/6988bb11cf40a81799c4687f/gettyimages-540444666.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Orlando Continues To Mourn The Mass Shooting At Gay Club That Killed 49","caption":"Orlando Continues To Mourn The Mass Shooting At Gay Club That Killed 49","creditText":"Drew Angerer—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/ideas/","name":"Ideas"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/books/","name":"Books"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4676180/milo-yiannopoulos-book-deal-canceled/","name":"Simon & Schuster Has Canceled Its Milo Yiannopoulos Book Deal"}}]}] ```
