Former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has filed a lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel accusing the ABC late-night talk show host of tricking him into making videos that made him the subject of ridicule on national television.
In a suit filed Saturday in U.S. district court for the southern district of New York, Santos accuses ABC, Walt Disney Co., and Kimmel, of copyright infringement, fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment, POLITICO reported.
In the suit, Santos alleged Kimmel misrepresented himself in order to get Santos to create videos on the Cameo app “capitalizing on and ridiculing” his “gregarious personality.” Cameo connects famous people with fans who can request personalized video messages.
