Simon & Schuster has canceled a forthcoming book that was to be written by Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos, after tapes were released that appeared to show Yiannopoulos advocating for sexual relationships between young boys and older men.

Yiannopoulos confirmed the news about his book on Facebook Monday afternoon.

"Statement: After careful consideration @simonschuster and its @threshold_books have cancelled publication of Dangerous by Milo Yiannopoulos," Simon & Schuster spokesperson Adam Rothberg tweeted.

Yiannopoulos was also disinvited from CPAC on Monday, and his status at Breitbart remained unclear as outrage over his comments, which were revealed by a blog called The Reagan Battalion, reverberated across the internet.

Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, originally made a deal for Yiannopoulos' book, titled "Dangerous," in December. It was slated to be published this June.
