Former politician George Santos is shifting to a fresh career path since he was removed from the House of Representatives late last year after facing accusations of fraud.
Jimmy Kimmel announced during his monologue Thursday (June 20) evening that the former state rep has found a new venture: OnlyFans.
“In other ne’er-do-well news, George Santos, remember him?” Kimmel began. “After crapping out on Cameo, George Santos is onto his newest money making scheme, and it’s an OnlyFans page.”
He then read a tweet from Santos announcing the news, which read, “The moment you’ve all been waiting for! Only on #OnlyFans will you get the full behind the scenes access to everything I’m working on. See ya all there!”
Kimmel laughed as he added, “Finally, we will get full behind the scenes access to everything he’s been working on — which is nothing.”
It appears that Santos received some backlash on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, because he quickly clarified that he will not be doing adult content on the platform.
He wrote, “Ok y’all got your panties in a bunch… The only fans is Not adult content. I decided to go with only fans because I wanted to stir the pot. Folks need to stop being so sensitive…”
Jimmy Kimmel Live famously ran a hilarious segment earlier this year called “Will Santos Say It?” The regular segment entailed the Kimmel crew submitting “ridiculous messages” for Santos to read on Cameo, which he surprisingly fell for multiple times. Santos did not appear to find the joke funny, however, as he later sued Kimmel for breach of contract, copyright infringement, fraud, and unjust enrichment over the segment.
With Santos’ new OnlyFans account, maybe the segment will get a second wind.
Kimmel pointed out that the “saddest part” about Santos’ OnlyFans “is the only person who’s gonna actually subscribe to this is me!”
He added that he believes the former politician’s “15 minutes are up,” which explains why we haven’t been hearing about his messy shenanigans.
But his OnlyFans will surely bring something …
