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.
It’s not news that santos is a fool but to think he feels he has a chance here against a media conglomerate… No way his lawyers are doing this on contingency right?
It’s not about that. It’s just a way to continue to get media attention.
Sure, but lawyers aren’t usually free and I can’t imagine who would be willing to take this case pro bono.
I can’t imagine what for.
He is already a footnote. Nothing will change that. It’s better than he deserves already. What will more attention give him? It’s there literally a single person that doesn’t hate him? I’ve never heard of anyone being a fan of him.
