New York (AP)-East US representative George Santos on Saturday alleged in a trial filed in New York that late night host Jimmy Kimmel betrayed him in making a video on the cameo app, which was used to ridicule the lawyer insulted in the show.
The case filed in the US district court for the southern district of New York, Kimmel, ABC and Walt Disney Company are in the form of defendants. A Disney Representative listed as a media contact for Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show did not immediately respond to an email from the Associated Press.
Santos, a New York Republican, who was expelled from the House of Representatives last year, is sued for alleged copyright violations, fraud, contract violations and unjust promotion.
Kimmel incorrectly presented herself to motivate Santos to create personal videos to create personal videos in allegations of suit allegations.
Through the cameo, Santos received requests from individuals and businesses looking for personal video messages. Unaware of Santos, Kimmel, according to the complaint, presented at least 14 requests, which used Funi names and narratives.
Starting from December, the video was played on a segment, “Will Will Santos call it?” The suit says.
“Clearly, fake requests of Kimmel were fun, but what he did was a clear violation of the copyright law,” said Robert Fantone, a lawyer at Santos.
Santos is demanding a total legal loss of $ 750,000 for the five videos he was played on the show and various social media platforms. He also asks for other losses determined in the test.
