George Santos Files Lawsuit Against Jimmy Kimmel for ‘Fraudulent’ Use of Cameo Videos
Former Congressman George Santos filed a lawsuit against late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Saturday.
Santos is suing Kimmel for fraud, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and copyright infringement over his use of ‘Cameo’ videos in his program.
‘Cameo’ is a website where you can hire celebrities to make personalized videos for yourself or to gift your friends.
“Birthdays, milestones, or even a well-deserved roast, the perfect celebrity is only a search away,” Cameo’s website states. “Find yours and request them.”
Instead of using the service to have a celebrity sing his friend “Happy Birthday,” Kimmel allegedly requested at least 14 videos from Santos to use on his show.
Kimmel used the clips in a segment called “Will Santos Say It?” in which he made light of trying to get the former politician to say foolish things.
