- Disgraced former NY Rep. started Cameo so people could request video messages with him dressed as his drag persona Kitara Ravache
- Santos’ posts cost $350 and 20% of the proceeds go to two charities
People can now help put money in George Santos’ pockets by paying for a message from the disgraced congressman – albeit dressed in drag.
‘Kitara Ravache’ is retiring after 18 years, Santos announced on his X account on Monday.
The former Republican from Long Island charges people a hefty price tag of $350 if they want to receive personalized video messages, including birthday congratulations, a pep talk or just answering a general question.
In December 2023, the House of Representatives voted 311 to 114 to expel the New York Republican. He is only the sixth Member of Parliament to ever be expelled from the House of Representatives.
Santos became infamous for the lies he told during his 2022 campaign for Congress. But he served less than a year before his lies ultimately got him expelled from Congress.
Disgraced former NY Rep. George Santos (pictured in drag in 2008) has opened his Cameo so people can request video messages for $350, with him dressed in drag as his persona Kitara Ravache
“Hey, you messy b****es! So Kitara is coming out after 18 years, thanks to all of you. So prepare yourself because it will be very limited and it will be for a great cause,” Santos said in a video on his Cameo account.
When Santos was first reported last year, he denied ever dressing in drag or cross-dressing at gay pride events in Brazil, but later admitted this and is now using his former persona to raise money.
In a selfie video posted publicly to his Cameo account, Santos, wearing a white T-shirt and clearly not in drag, said: “Hey, you messy b****es! So Kitara is coming out after 18 years, thanks to all of you. So prepare yourself because it will be very limited and it will be for a great cause.”
“So order up, because it’s going to be fun,” Santos said.
It appears that Santos hasn’t dressed in drag since 2008. In a photo from 16 years ago of a Brazilian drag queen, who claims to be Santos’ boyfriend, they are both dressed in drag.
But now Santos is back on his heels, dressing to deliver messages that people can request on Cameo, a platform that allows celebrities and personalities to charge for their video messages.
“Are you guys not ready for this drop yet?” Santos wrote on his X account. “I’ve decided to bring Kitara out after 18 years!”
There are only 71 videos left as of Monday afternoon – and 20% of the proceeds will be split between two separate charities

He added that 20 percent of the proceeds will be split and donated to Tunnel2Towers, a charity dedicated to supporting first responders, and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, a pro-Israel organization.
It is unclear where the rest of the money will go, but it can be assumed it will line the pockets of the disgraced lawmaker, who changed his party affiliation to an independent last month.
Santos announced in March that he would challenge incumbent Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in the race to represent New York’s 1st Congressional District and a few weeks later said he would do so as an independent.
But on April 23, Santos dropped out of the race.
Santos pathologically lied about his life and himself when he ran for Congress in 2022. The tall tales were only revealed after the elections and he was expelled from Congress last year
Santos said the Cameo video offering is only “for a few days” and that he is prepared to deliver at least 71 more video messages dressed in his drag queen persona.
His Cameo account claims that as of Monday afternoon there are only 71 posts left for people to purchase.
In addition to lying about his previous status as a drag queen, Santos also told tall tales about his ancestry, his educational background, his work history and the claim that his mother died during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
