Milo Yiannopoulos Resigns from Ye’s Chief of Staff Role and Says No to Porn

TMZ was able to secure a letter from the right-wing commentator stating that he would not “be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature.”

Rolling Stone reports that Milo Yiannopoulos has left his role as Yeezy’s chief of staff. He attributed his departure on Ye’s intentions to enter the porn industry in a copy of his resignation letter that TMZ was able to get.

Yiannopolous stated in the letter that he “cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic films and literature” due to a number of factors, including the fact that the movies “represent an unacceptable risk to my spiritual and physical health as a former homosexual and an imminent danger to my life as a recovering addict.”

Yeezy will welcome him back “if, at some point in the future, the company publicly and permanently abandons any plan to produce, distribute, or profit from obscene content,” Yiannopoulos said, capping off his statement. He would effectively step down “by Friday, May 31, 2024, or the first pornography shoot, whichever is sooner.”

After Ye’s unsuccessful 2020 presidential campaign, Milo initially partnered with the rapper in 2022, bringing in the far-right political commentator as an advisor for his 2024 campaign. Earlier this year, Yiannopoulos was also at the center of a scandal involving Yeezy and internet personality/marketer Julieanna “YesJulz” Goddard. Among other reasons, Goddard, who joined Yeezy to assist with the launch of Vultures 1, claimed to have been fired unfairly.

The former Kanye West has apparently teamed up with Mike Moz, a veteran of the porn industry and Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband, to launch Yeezy Porn. Other key personnel have also left the company in recent weeks, according to TMZ. Milo has reportedly stated that he intends to rejoin the company in the event that Ye decides to fire him over the whole pornographic controversy.

Yeezy has been contacted by Billboard for a statement.
