Lacking all sense of irony, the expelled GOP ex-Congressman from New York today has hit the late-night host, ABC and Disney with a fraud and copyright infringement lawsuit over Kimmel’s admitted punking and pranking of Santos via personalized celebrity messaging site Cameo.

“At the heart of this dispute lies the deliberate deception and wrongful appropriation of the Plaintiff’s digital content by the Defendants, orchestrated through the platform Cameo.com, where celebrities and public figures are meant to connect with their fans through personalized video messages,” declares Santos’ jury seeking complaint filed Saturday in federal court in the Empire State.

“Defendants openly admitted to deceiving the Plaintiff under the guise of fandom, soliciting personalized videos only to then broadcast these on national television and across social media channels for commercial gain—actions that starkly violate the original agreement and constitute clear copyright infringement.”

Out of a regular gig and income since he became on December 1 last year only the sixth member of the House of Representatives to be expelled in the nation’s history, fabulist deluxe Santos is after at least $750,000 from Kimmel and the Mouse House. Additionally, the subject of an HBO biopic (or not), Santos and his Mancilla & Fantone lawyers want preliminary and permanent injunctions to stop those embarrassing Cameo videos from being broadcast, posted, seen or seemingly even spoke of ever again. They also want “actual damages, punitive damages, and disgorgement of Defendants’ profits to be determined at trial, plus interest.”
