Gay alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos is in serious financial trouble, you guys. According to The Guardian, he’s more than $2 million in debt. So let’s take a second to treat Milo with the sympathy he deserves.
Yesterday, LGBTQ Nation reported that leaked documents from Australian court proceedings showed Yiannopoulos owing $52,000 to the Four Seasons for his Hawaii wedding and over $153,000 in legal fees to Meister Seelig & Fein, the law-firm that represented him in his failed lawsuit against the publisher Simon & Schuster.
You may recall that Yiannopoulos tried to sue Simon & Schuster for refusing to publish his book, Dangerous. Yiannopoulos claimed that they withdrew their offer because of his comments approving of child rape. But Simon & Schuster replied by basically calling his book a piece of unpublishable adolescent trash.
The Guardian says Yiannopoulos also owes “$1.6m to his own company, $400,000 to the Mercers (his former patrons) … $76,574 to former collaborator and Breitbart writer Allum Bokhari, and $20,000 to the luxury jewelry brand Cartier.”
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.
In one of the leaked documents, Yiannopoulos admits, “I am less financially secure, more panicked and stressed, and more miserable than when we started.”
Now let’s take another second to play “My Heart Breaks for You” on the world’s tiniest violin for Milo.
Yiannopoulos told The Guardian that the leaked documents refer to “company debts, not personal.” He added, “I’m doing fine and bringing in $40k U.S. a month.” But even if that’s true, that means his company is on the skids, which is still great news.
To be clear, we’re not mocking his poverty — we’re mocking his failing career as a toxic hatemonger.

Yiannopoulos has apparently been trying (unsuccessfully) to organize a hate tour through Australia alongside fellow hate-trolls like Ann Coulter, Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes and Fraser Anning, an Australian senator who once called for a “final solution” to immigration. (Note the none-too-subtle Holocaust reference there.)
Luckily, the tour has fallen through three times already.
Yiannopoulos now says that he’s joining the “Deplorable” tour organized by the skin mag Penthouse Australia. It’ll be interesting to see if the country denies him entry just as they’ve recently done with McInness.

..what the hell is Yiannopoulos wearing a pearl necklace for?? He looks like a total p**t!

Whatever he has ever said when he opens his mouth is for shock value and headlines..he’s made a career of it..when the media , tv , print & radio stop giving the Ann Coulters , Sara Sanders, Kelly Anne Conway .Milo and a slew of others voice.they will dissappear..sadly theres another one waiting in the wings for their 15 minutes too.

Wedding expenses are a company expense? In what world?
I don’t feel sorry for the law firm. He had no grounds for a lawsuit, and they should have told him that. But they were just as greedy as he was and told him what he wanted to hear. So they did all the legal work, which was just make work. They can suck that up.
The Mercers? $400K is a round error to them. Screw them.
The hotel? That’s why you get a deposit up front.
His hate mongers wrote up articles that they didn’t get paid! On no! Maybe they shouldn’t trust a grifter next time.
And Cartier — did they just hand over jewelry to him in exchange for an IOU? Why? Because he’s famous? They got what they deserved too. He can return those pearls (which you can buy in China for a fraction of the price). Unless he pawned them.

When your life is the product you sell…….a.k.a. Kardashians…….wedding expenses are a business expense, or some people in the self-whoring business seem to believe.

He’s tragic. But “child rape?” Let’s keep spreading the lies folks. I agreed with his comments about intergenerational sex as not always a “bad” thing.
QueerTruth
Dude. You’re way off.
Milo refers to the possibility of relationships between 13-year-olds and 25 or 28 years-olds claiming “…these things do happen, perfectly consensually”.
That would be child rape and apparently I need to write that that’s “BAD”, dude.
DCguy
He talked about 13 year olds having sex with adults. So you’re not being honest.
RoughRugger
Sex between 13 year olds and grown-ass men is not “intergenerational sex”…it’s quite literally statutory rape and quite literally ALWAYS a bad thing.
That you need to be told that says far, FAR more about you than anyone else.
Chrisk
You sound like a PR agent for nambla.

WHO CARES?
Honestly. The gay world would be a much better place without seeing this self-absorbed celebrity troll.
Please stop posting stories about it. His “relevance” is how he makes money. Deny it.
Pii
My opinion is that he’s just another turd in the punch bowl of life.

I’m sure once his go fund me page is up and running the nutters of the world will bail him out and more.

Oh trust me, laugh is the last thing I am going to do. What I will be doing is praying that she does go bankrupt with all of her possessions having to be sold to pay off debtors. From her Andrew Christian jock strap collection to her paid yearly subscription to multiple crossdressing, bareback breeding twink porn sites be halted immediately and whatever balance left be used to pay off creditors. That’ll fix her and her smart mouth.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Gay karma at it’s best….

I hope the earth opens up and swallows gay Gollum whole. And the Kardashians for good measure.

This is what we armchair economists like to call “the invisible bitchslap of the market.”

No tears for this right-wing creep from me, but why don’t his fellow alt-reichers help him out? Why doesn’t Peter Thiel cut him a check for the outstanding debts? Where are all the Republigays and gals who could bankroll a tour through places where his brand of nuttiness would be more acceptable, like Hungary, Austria, Poland, Italy, UK, and Jair Bolsonaro’s Brazil? Russia probably wouldn’t be a good spot given that he’s openly gay and (allegedly) has a black husband, but he could try Bulgaria, Moldova, and Belarus. Albania’s supposedly welcoming to everyone. Maybe Jeremy Helligar could even give him some tips on Central Europe hotspots. Why limit his vomit-fest of hate to Australia and New Zealand?
Chrisk
Because at the end of the day he’s gay, married to a black dude, and just advocated sex with 13 year olds. They ain’t going to touch even if they believe in the last part.
ShowMeGuy
He can always do gay porn on the internet.
