Former U.S. Rep. George Santos (R-NY) is suing Iate night comedian Jimmy Kimmel for allegedly misusing his Cameo clips. Since he was expelled by Congress without a conviction, Santos has been active on Cameo, a site where users can pay celebrities and public figures to make statements and greetings.
Kimmel recently poked fun at Santos’ new venture with a segment, “Will Santos Say It,” in which Kimmel’s team requested a number of odd video requests.
We have disgraced former congressman George Santos, who has a new gig, making videos on Cameo for $400 a pop, which is a diIemma because on one hand you hate to give money to a guy like George Santos, but on the other, pretty good chance he has your credit card information already, Kimmel joked.
“Whatever the case, I couldn’t resist, so I sent George, through Cameo, a number of different ridiculous requests, like you could tell him what you want him to say. I didn’t say they’re for me, I just wrote them and sent them to find out.”
Requests included a congratuIatory message for setting a world record in the “Clearwater beet-eating contest” and a message for “Ron’s wife.”
