George Santos sues late-night host Jimmy Kimmel for tricking him into making videos to ridicule him
The lawsuit alleges that Kimmel misrepresented himself to induce Santos to create personalized videos capitalizing on and ridiculing Santos’ “gregarious personality.”
Former U.S. Rep. George Santos alleged in a lawsuit filed Saturday that late-night host Jimmy Kimmel deceived him into making videos on the Cameo app that were used to ridicule the disgraced New York Republican on the show.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. district court for the southern district of New York names Kimmel, ABC and Walt Disney Co. as defendants. A Disney representative listed as a media contact for the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
Santos, who was expelled from the House of Representatives last year after being charged with multiple counts of fraud and stealing from donors, is suing over alleged copyright infringement, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

I didn't even know about the Kimmel segment, now I'm gonna go find it and laugh at Santos. Thanks George, I wouldn't have known about these unless you sued
For anyone curious, I'll save you a click. I don't think it's particularly funny, but Santos is an idiot, so more power to them I guess.
Wait, they didn't even chop up the clips and play them out of context or anything? The fuck is Santos even complaining about?
He said on his show that he was going to make Santos talk to him on Cameo before he even did it.
First time I've ever seen Kimmel. I was hoping for some real libel, but I guess this is worth watching.
Hope Ron gets to see Swoosie again soon
