Former U.S. Rep. George Santos is suing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Santos' lawsuit says Kimmel deceived him into making videos on the Cameo app that were used to ridicule the disgraced New York Republican on air.

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 was actually confused when I saw the video because I didn’t know how they could have possibly gotten George Santos to make it.

      Amazing what a dedicated grifter will do for a couple hundred bucks.
