Homocon Milo Lands $250K Book Advance

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Milo Yiannopoulos has parlayed his ban from Twitter — and some controversial appearances on college campuses and cable TV shows — into a $250,000 book deal with Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, The Hollywood Reporter learned on Thursday.

“They said banning me from Twitter would finish me off. Just as I predicted, the opposite has happened,” Yiannopoulos told THR, confirming the upcoming book without commenting on financial details. “Did it hurt Madonna being banned from MTV in the 1990s? Did all that negative press hurt Donald Trump’s chances of winning the election?”

“I met with top execs at Simon & Schuster earlier in the year and spent half an hour trying to shock them with lewd jokes and outrageous opinions. I thought they were going to have me escorted from the building — but instead they offered me a wheelbarrow full of money,” Yiannopoulos told THR.

More from Politico:

Simon & Schuster is a subsidiary of the CBS Corporation, leading some to speculate that Yiannopoulos may end up promoting his book on CBS shows like “CBS This Morning” or “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

“We’re planning all that for January at the moment — we’ll be doing a lot of live appearances, a lot of TV and of course I have a month of my college tour still to go… can’t say about any specific shows at this stage,” Yiannopoulos told POLITICO in an email. A spokesperson for Threshold did not immediately respond to a follow up questions about promoting the book on CBS.

Yesterday one of Twitter’s viciously racist “alt-right” personalities claimed that Milo will headline the Nazi-organized “DeploraBall” – but with the stipulation that he be named as the event’s sole headliner.
