Milo Yiannopoulos drops his lawsuit against Simon and Schuster
BY MAX GREENWOOD - 02/20/18 11:48 AM EST
Former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos is dropping the lawsuit he filed last summer against his former publisher.
According to The Associated Press, Yiannopoulos and lawyers for Simon & Schuster requested in court documents Tuesday that the lawsuit be dismissed "without costs or fees to either party."
Yiannopoulos sued Simon & Schuster for $10 million last summer after the company cancelled the release of the far-right provocateur's memoir, "Dangerous." That decision came after video of Yiannopoulos surfaced online, in which he appeared to defend pedophilia.
Simon & Schuster said in a statement Tuesday that the company stood by its decision to cancel the release of "Dangerous." Yiannopoulos eventually self-published the book, which came out last July.
