Former Rep. George Santos sues Jimmy Kimmel, accuses him of misusing Cameo videos

Former Rep. George Santos filed a civil lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel on Saturday accusing the late-night television host of using fake names to request Cameo videos from the former lawmaker and then misusing them on his show.

Santos sued Kimmel for copyright infringement, fraud, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment. He is seeking at least $750,000 in damages.

Santos said in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York that Kimmel submitted at least 14 requests for clips on the site Cameo, where celebrities sell short personalized video messages.

Kimmel provided “phony names and narratives,” the lawsuit says, and sent “fake requests ... from fake user profiles created by Kimmel as part of the fraud.” The lawsuit was first reported by the New York Post.

It says that Kimmel “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.”
