Long Island liar George Santos sues Jimmy Kimmel for FRAUD after late-night host pranked the expelled congressman by requesting bizarre phony tribute videos on Cameo

Disgraced former Congressman George Santos has sued Jimmy Kimmel, accusing the late-night host of misusing clips purchased through famed video service Cameo.

Santos is seeking at least $750,000 in damages in the lawsuit filed Saturday in Manhattan federal court, accusing the ABC organization of fraud, copyright infringement, breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

In December, Kimmel aired several clips of Santos in response to bizarre requests through Cameo, the service that lets users pay for custom video greetings or congratulations from celebrities, often from the D-list.

The lawsuit alleges that Kimmel “misrepresented himself and his motives” and provided “false names and stories” when he sent “false requests … of false user profiles created by Kimmel as part of the fraud.”

Santos taunted Kimmel in a statement to the New York Postwho first reported on the trial and said: ‘Jimmy, sorry my Christmas present to you was late, but I want to make wishes come true.’

“I hope you enjoy reading the fraud trial you’ve been looking forward to,” Santos added, referring to the late-night host’s invitation to trial.

A spokeswoman for Jimmy Kimmel Live did not immediately respond to a request for comment from DailyMail.com on Saturday afternoon.

Santos, a Republican from Long Island, was expelled from the U.S. House of Representatives in December after an Ethics Committee report added new fraud charges to two federal indictments containing 23 fraud-related counts.

His lawsuit alleges that Kimmel “selected the personal use licenses for all Cameo Videos with the intent to violate such licenses by broadcasting and commercially exploiting the Cameo Videos on national television.”

Kimmel aired several Cameo clips of Santos late last year, including one in which he asked for congratulations for a fictional Florida man who won a “Beef Eating Contest.”

Santos complied with the request and sent a video clip that appeared to be shot in a car.

“Eating six pounds of loose ground beef in less than 30 minutes is a new record, that’s amazing and impressive!” Santos enthusiastically.

‘Congratulations on the victory. “I know you’re feeling a little bad, but I hear from a great source that the doctors have said you’ll be released from the hospital soon and will recover well.”

In another clip requested by Kimmel, Santos congratulated a blind girl on successfully passing her driver’s license exam, and wished her a speedy recovery after she was in a serious accident the next day.

“You’ll rock this as soon as you’re out of the cast,” Santos said encouragingly.

Shortly after the clips aired on Kimmel’s show, Santos’ attorney Andrew Mancilla sent a cease and desist letter to Kimmel and threatened to sue over the use of the clips.

Mancilla, who advertises himself as a “lawyer by day.” vibrant musician by night,” Santos is representing in the lawsuit along with attorneys Robert Fantone and Joe Murray.

Santos is the sixth member of the House of Representatives and the only Republican to be expelled from Congress.

He miraculously lied about his life story and resumed his campaign in 2022, with the fabrications coming to light shortly after he won his first term.

Santos has pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to several disparate fraud schemes, including the unauthorized use of credit card numbers stolen from campaign donors.

Kimmel responded to Santos’ legal threat in comments on his show in December.

“Can you imagine me being sued by George Santos for fraud?” he said. “I mean, how good would that be? It would be like a dream come true.”
