According to leaked emails, some of Yiannopoulos' work at Breitbart was based on feedback he received from neo-Nazis and white nationalists. These leaked emails also showed that his book, ''[[Dangerous (book)|Dangerous]]'', and many of his Breitbart articles were [[Ghostwriter|ghost-written]] by a Breitbart colleague.<ref name="buzzfeed.com"/>

Yiannopoulos has been accused of being an apologist for or supporting [[paedophilia]]. The allegation arose from several video clips in which he said that sexual relationships between 13-year-old boys and adult men and women can be "perfectly consensual" and positive experiences for the boys.<ref name="NBCNewsUproar">{{cite web|last1=O'Hara|first1=Mary Emily|title=Yiannopoulos Quits Breitbart, Apologizes for Uproar Over Year-Old Comments|url=http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/yiannopoulos-quits-breitbart-apologizes-uproar-over-year-old-comments-n723861|publisher=NBC News|accessdate=7 March 2017|quote=And I think particularly in the gay world, and outside the Catholic Church – if that's where some of you want to go with this – I think in the gay world some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life-affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men ...

Yiannopoulos has said that he is not a supporter of paedophilic relationships and that his statements that ostensibly support them were merely attempts to cope with his own victimhood, as an object of [[child abuse]] by unnamed older men.
