FROM BUSINESS INSIDER 

George Santos said Jimmy Kimmel "falsely represented" himself when requesting Cameo videos.
The former rep has brought a lawsuit against the TV show host, seeking at least $750,000 in damages.
Kimmel submitted several video requests to Santos under fake names, which Santos duly obliged.
Former Rep. George Santos has alleged that Jimmy Kimmel deceived him into making videos on Cameo that were used to ridicule him on the late-night television host's eponymous talk show.

In a civil lawsuit filed on Saturday in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York against Kimmel, the disgraced Republican said Kimmel misrepresented himself to induce Santos into creating personalized videos "capitalizing on and ridiculing" his "gregarious personality," according to AP News.

Santos seeks at least $750,000 in damages for fraud, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and copyright infringement. Walt Disney Co. and ABC were also named as defendants in the suit.
