George Santos Sues Jimmy Kimmel Alleging ‘Fraud’ Over Using Cameo Videos


George Santos filed a suit against Jimmy Kimmel alleging fraud and copyright infringement over the host's use of Santos' Cameo videos.

According to the complaint, Kimmel used “phony names and narratives” to submit video requests of Santos’ Cameos, which were sent from “fake User profiles” made by the host as part of “fraud” “for the sole purpose of capitalizing on and ridiculing [Santos’] gregarious personality,” which Kimmel allegedly misused on his show. Reps for ABC, Disney, and Kimmel did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone ’s requests for comment. In December, Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives following an Ethics Committee investigation and being indicted and arrested on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and lying to Congress.
