Milo Yiannopoulos is parting ways with Ye (formerly Kanye West), citing concerns about the new team at the company. He revealed his resignation to TMZ, stating that he cannot be complicit in the production or dissemination of pornographic material for moral and religious reasons. Yiannopoulos also mentioned his past as a recovering addict and a former homosexual, stating that such material poses a danger to his life and health. He offered to return to Yeezy if they decide to abandon plans for producing, distributing, or profiting from obscene content.
Yiannopoulos mentioned in his resignation letter that he would be providing an orderly handover by May 31 or the first pornography shoot, whichever comes first. He also noted that around 20 other Yeezy employees have left the company due to other issues with Ye, with porn being just one of the factors. A source told Rolling Stone that the departure was not solely related to porn production. Ye had previously been considering launching an adult entertainment division within the brand and was in talks with porn producer Mike Moz to lead the endeavor.
A representative for Ye has not yet responded to requests for comment. Yiannopoulos expressed his well wishes for Ye’s future success in his statement to TMZ. He urged caution for the company’s new team and expressed his concerns about their involvement in the production of pornographic material. He emphasized that his decision to leave was based on moral and religious reasons, as well as concerns for his own well-being as a recovering addict and former homosexual. Yiannopoulos stated that he would be honored to return to Yeezy if they decide to abandon plans for obscene content production.
The departure of Yiannopoulos and other employees from Yeezy underscores a larger issue within the company involving various concerns with Ye. While porn production was a factor in Yiannopoulos’ decision to leave, it was not the sole reason for the departures. The company has faced challenges with its new team, prompting several employees to resign. Yiannopoulos’ resignation sheds light on the internal issues at Yeezy and raises questions about the direction of the company under Ye’s leadership. It remains to be seen how the company will address these challenges and move forward following the departures of key staff members.
