the fraudster is suing Jimmy Kimmel for using fake usernames etc..., to get santos to say stuff that Kimmel then aired on tv
i'm not here to argue the legalities—Kimmel 'owning the videos he had to pay for' v not having the legal right to broadcast them—but it's still funny as fuck to me that the delusional santos 'gregarious personality' could be bought so very very easily

In December, Kimmel launched a segment on his show called “Will Santos say it?” where he aired videos Santos made on Cameo in response to requests Kimmel had made using what the lawsuit—filed in Manhattan federal court on Friday—described as “fake user profiles” and “phony names and narratives.”
In the videos, Santos congratulates a non-existent fan for winning a meat-eating contest and congratulates another non-existent fan for cloning her dog, among other things, all based on requests Kimmel made through Cameo, which allows fans to pay for personalized messages from an array of celebrities and public figures.
Santos also accuses Kimmel of fraud, claiming Kimmel misrepresented himself to obtain the videos “for the sole purpose of capitalizing on and ridiculing (Santos’) gregarious personality.”
