The slow-motion trainwreck that is Milo Yiannopoulos’s life continues to unfold in spectacular fashion. This time, he had a speaking engagement in Oklahoma cancelled by organizers who didn’t have their act together, leaving him in debt and unable to speak to his tens of adoring fans.
I regret to announce that my sponsor for the Oklahoma events has failed to produce the funds needed for the events, and left me in debt to designers, lawyers and admin staff. I couldn’t get a response out of him for days after three missed payment deadlines and today he confirmed he’s dropping out entirely! Ho hum. Sorry to the hundreds of fans who have been writing excitedly over the past few weeks. Doesn’t look like these speeches will happen now.
This indignity follows the December 2018 revelation that he’s more than $2 million in debt. When he tried to use the crowd-funding site Patreon to raise extra funds, the platform banned him. Before then, he was reduced to appearing on the whackadoodle conspiracy theorist show Info Wars to sell useless nutritional supplements.
Is it any surprise that his latest book is entitled, How To Be Poor? In a Facebook post about the book, he wrote:
Just a few years ago, if you were to stop me and ask if I knew how to be poor, I would have stopped and glared at you like you were an alien trying to give me hair advice. One of the first things I learned is that, while the stress can be overwhelming, it is not the end of the world.
My Sunday brunch bill may have dropped from $10,000 to the cost of engaging in a bizarre at-home ritual they call “cooking,” but that does not make me less of a person.
He’s right. Being poor doesn’t make you less of a person. Having hateful political views does, right Milo?
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Milo’s views were so odious that in July 2016, he got booted from Twitter. The following year, his publisher cancelled his book because it was poorly written trash. The hateful conservative conference CPAC and hateful right-wing website Breitbart.com both dropped him after his comments supporting child rape by Catholic priests resurfaced online. Later on, he and his pal got shouted out of a Manhattan bar by people chanting “Nazi scum get out.”
We will never not love watching this horrid implosion. Keep it up, Milo.

Sounds more like nobody bought tickets. That’s the main reason organizers miss payments. If fans were purchasing tickets the guy would have the money to pay him.
Juanjo
That would be my guess. Milo’s star has faded badly. Poor girl is going to have to go back to doing tricks in the loo at Picadilly Circus.
James
Loser.
Dr Johnny
What idiot would loan him $2 million to get him in that much debt?!?
redzebra1
That wasn’t a single loan. It’s several loans over time to pay for his event costs, etc. Well, he’s been conned so much he’s in $2 million debt. And apparently still doesn’t realise he’s been played! It will end in tears…..LMAO

Milo Fascist is a typical Republican: he preaches personal responsibility, but then just lives off grifting and debt. Someone grifted the grifter this time.

Karma’s a bitch, bitch. You’re a free loading layabout.Which describes a lot of republithugs !!!

I think Rethuglicans sounds better.

Oh fabulous, read cruel to some, the universe and karma can be. This piece of trash should just disappear. FOREVER PLEASE!!!!!

I am so embarrassed being British and gay, we produced that crap
ShiningSex
He’s gross. He’s a pedo too
IWantAFullBeard
I don’t understand why anyone – of any political persuasion – would want to listen to him speak. What qualifications does he have? What insights does he have?
Also, why would being a conservative homosexual sell? Do you sell tampons to men?
truthseeker
“Do you sell tampons to men?”
In 2019, yes

… Oh Gurl, clutch those #fakepearls & go away!?! TTFN!?!

You bitter queens should stop and think before opening your traps. “Will I sound like Milo?”
white-queer-african
Sorry dearie……me think you the bitter queen here……

I mean he’s allowed his opinions so I don’t judge him, but he did say there was no point to gay marriage when legalizing it and now he’s married to a man like… hypocrite.
enlightened007
Whatever happened to freedom of speech?!? You don’t agree with ‘what you hear this guys says’ and you send the lynch mob? The lies about Milo in the media are insane. Calling him a racist & pedophile? Do your research. He’s married to a black man & he made a joke about a catholic priest, which EVERY drag queen on stage would make the same joke, and now he’s a pedophile.
It makes me so sad how much hate the Left spews at anyone they heard rumors about.
Shouldn’t we try to protect our own? He’s a gay man who has had all his resources cut and hung out to dry. What if that happened to you?
paul dorian lord fredine
can’t believe you’re defending this hateful prick but i guess if you think he’s being maligned i can only suppose you agree with him therefore ‘enlightened’, i’m also guessing, is meant to be ironic. therefore i can only suggest you do to yourself what i think milo should do to himself. nobody, at least that i know, would do it to him.
WillParkinson
And it amuses me how much the right likes to think that only the left spews lies about people. (Casts glance at Trump.)
And freedom of speech means the government can’t punish you. It doesn’t mean you’re not free of consequences of your words.

You do realize there is a difference between free speech and hate speech. You can try to justify it any way you want when one person tries to take away equal rites or tries to stop another person from getting equal rites that is hate not opinion.
DCguy
It’s adorable that a right wing troll account talks about Freedom of speech yet the problem for it seems to be that other people are Practicing THEY’re right to speech.

I’ve got $50 that says the promoter for this lecture cancelled it because nobody wanted to attend.
nitejonboy
He should do the world a favor and end himself. Waste of space.

Horrible comment.

Milo – smartest dumb guy I know. When I first saw him with the beads I knew it was a matter of time. He was a sideshow with limited shelf life. The entire act was calculated. Unfortunately, he will be back in a reinvented package.
