Milo Yiannopoulos drops his lawsuit against Simon and Schuster

Former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos is dropping the lawsuit he filed last summer against his former publisher.

According to The Associated Press, Yiannopoulos and lawyers for Simon & Schuster requested in court documents Tuesday that the lawsuit be dismissed "without costs or fees to either party."

Yiannopoulos sued Simon & Schuster for $10 million last summer after the company cancelled the release of the far-right provocateur's memoir, "Dangerous." That decision came after video of Yiannopoulos surfaced online, in which he appeared to defend pedophilia.

Simon & Schuster said in a statement Tuesday that the company stood by its decision to cancel the release of "Dangerous." Yiannopoulos eventually self-published the book, which came out last July.
