George Santos Sues Jimmy Kimmel Over Alleged Misuse of Cameo Videos


Former Rep. George Santos has filed a civil lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel over the alleged misuse of his Cameo videos.

Former Rep. George Santos has filed a civil lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel, claiming that the late-night television host used fake names to request Cameo videos from the ex-congressman and then misused the footage on his talk show. Santos sued Kimmel on Saturday for copyright infringement, fraud, breach of contract and unjust enrichment, and is seeking at least $750,000 in damages, The Hill reports. Kimmel provided “phony names and narratives,” the lawsuit said, and sent requests from “fake user profiles created by Kimmel as part of the fraud.” The host also “chose the personal use licenses for all the Cameo videos with the intention to violate such licenses by broadcasting and commercially exploiting the Cameo videos on national television.”
