Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan

Milo Yiannopoulos Parts Ways With Kanye West Over Yeezy Porn Plan

Milo Yiannopoulos is out at Yeezy, Rolling Stone has confirmed. The alt-right provocateur allegedly had a falling out with Kanye West over the rapper’s decision to get into the porn business. 

Yiannopoulos, whom West tapped to run his dubious 2024 presidential campaign last year, announced he resigned as the rapper’s chief of staff on Wednesday in an email obtained by TMZ. “I cannot be complicit in the production of dissemination of pornographic films and literature, for moral and religious reasons,” Yiannopoulos wrote. “But also because of such material and the kind of people invariably involved in its production represent an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict and an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual.”


However, Yiannopoulos noted it would be “an honor” to return to West’s team if he abandons his plans to enter into the adult entertainment business. Rolling Stone has contacted Yiannopoulos for further comment, although his Yeezy email address responds with the automated message: “I AM NO LONGER WITH YEEZY.”   

A source close to the situation claims that around 20 other Yeezy employees have also left the brand because of West’s other alleged personal issues. “Porn was the slightest of factors,” they say. (Rolling Stone has contacted a representative for West for comment.)

Despite his recent condemnations of pornography, last month West tweeted “Yeezy Porn Is Cumming” after reports emerged that he was partnering with Stormy Daniels’ porn producer ex-husband Mike Moz. A source tells Rolling Stone they doubt any plans will come to fruition because West will allegedly struggle to launch a new venture without a team behind him. 

West already has his hands full with a host of problems at his private Christian school, Donda Academy, after a number of teachers have sued him over their terminations and alleged safety concerns at the facility.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.

Fact Checkers Try to Shield Trump From Project 2025’s Abortion Madness

One of the odder features of American journalism is that the columnists who hold themselves out as “fact checkers” and review claims made by politicians — calling balls, strikes, and “pinocchios” — are unusually terrible at it.

Fact checkers offered up several botched reviews of content from the Democratic National Convention, but nothing has broken their brains like Democrats’ sustained attacks on Donald Trump over Republicans’ anti-abortion agenda, which is laid out in gory detail in conservatives’ Project 2025 policy roadmap.
