George Santos loses lawsuit against Jimmy Kimmel over Cameo videos

On the same day he pleaded guilty to federal crimes, former Rep. George Santos also lost a federal lawsuit he filed against Jimmy Kimmel over the use of his Cameo videos.

Santos filed suit in February, claiming that Kimmel's show tricked him into recording absurd videos that were then broadcast in a segment titled “Will Santos Say It?”

Santos claimed that Kimmel infringed his copyright and violated Cameo's terms of service.

In a ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge Denise Cote dismissed the lawsuit, saying Kimmel used the videos to make political commentary and was therefore protected by the “fair use” doctrine.

Santos was expelled from Congress last December after a series of scandals that culminated in a 23-count indictment. He then joined Cameo, the platform that lets fans hire celebrities to send personalized video greetings.
