    Edgy Provocateur's Lawyers Withdraw From Suit Against Simon & Schuster

    While not trained in the classical aspects of American contract law, Milo's legal strategy of representing himself is an unexpected development and will show S&S why the old saying that a man who represents himself has a fool for a foe!
    Milo Yiannopoulos's attorney in the Simon and Schuster lawsuit want to withdraw, citing "irreconcilable differences" between him and Milo. Milo's lawyer won't say what "fundamental disagreement" has caused the rift. Comes after draft notes on Milo's book exposed in the lawsuit set off online ridicule.

    Meister Seelig & Fein will no longer represent far-right pot-stirrer Milo Yiannopoulos due to a “breakdown in the relationship,” according to an emergency motion filed by the New York-based law firm this past Friday.

    Yiannopoulos is currently in a legal battle against publisher Simon & Schuster over his (now) self-published book Dangerous. The former Breitbart editor said the disagreement with his counsel arose because Simon & Schuster persuaded the court to make certain documents available only to his lawyers.

    “I will now be representing myself pro se, so I can directly see the material,” Yiannopoulos said in a statement.

    Simon & Schuster canceled its publication of Dangerous in February of last year after comments by Yiannopoulos surfaced in which he appeared to condone pedophilia. Yiannopoulos filed a lawsuit for $10 million against the publisher in July for ending the book deal.



    Milo has been tweeting about his legal theories and strategy in the matter. Much 4dChess to ensue.
