George Santos donned lipstick, a wig and a red feather boa as he brought out his drag persona for the first time in almost a decade.
The disgraced former New York congressman published his first five videos on a Cameo account for his character “Kitara Ravache” after users paid between $275 and $350 for the personalized posts.
Santos announced on Monday that he is bringing Kitara out for a ‘limited time’ after 18 years.
The 35-year-old politician previously denied dressing in drag when the images were first discovered, but later admitted it was him in the photos. Now he’s fully embracing the character to bring in more revenue after being fired from Congress.
“It’s your favorite, Kitara. After eighteen years in the closet, George Santos pulled me out – whatever,” Santos said in one of the clips shared on his Cameo.
The Long Island liar was expelled from the House of Representatives on December 1 by a vote of 311 to 114. He is only the sixth Member of Parliament to ever be expelled from the House of Representatives.

As of Wednesday morning, there are still 62 personalized video messages left that people can have made by the disgraced lawmaker for the price of $275
On Tuesday afternoon, the posts were going for $350, with 71 still for sale. But on Wednesday morning, the cost dropped to $275, with 62 left in the limited supply.
The video requests include asking for personalized birthday messages, a pep talk, or asking him to answer a question dressed in his drag persona.
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 kicked out of Congress.
Most of the requests to Santos were completely unserious.
In one of the videos already completed, the Kitara character is asked to tell the person receiving the message not to worry about your flat butt.
“You know, it’s fine, it’s whatever. I hope you are not a bottom because then you no longer have any attributes. But at least do more squats,” Kitara advised the recipient of the video.
Former NY Rep. George Santos (pictured in drag in 2008) opened his Cameo this week so people could request video messages 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!”
Santos originally charged $350 for the messages, but lowered the price to $275 on Wednesday. He noted that 20% of the proceeds will be split evenly between two separate charities

In a video message, Santos was asked to tell a friend “not to worry about your flat ass.” Like Kitara, the politician said: ‘I hope you are not a bottom, because then you have no attributes anymore. But anyway, do more squats
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 ready 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.
