Cameo Controversy: Matt Gaetz Takes on New Career Amid Scandal

Tallahassee, Florida – Former Florida representative, Matt Gaetz, is exploring a new career path after announcing his decision not to return to Congress. Gaetz recently joined the platform Cameo, where he is offering personalized videos for his fans at a minimum cost of $550 per video. This move comes shortly after Gaetz withdrew his name from consideration to serve as President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general amid sexual misconduct allegations.

On Cameo, Gaetz has been sending out paid holiday wishes, marriage congratulations, and career pep talks to his fans. In his videos, Gaetz references his time in Congress and his failed nomination as US Attorney General by Trump. The platform allows celebrities to create customized shoutouts for their fans, with prices set by the celebrities themselves.

Despite facing allegations of sexual misconduct and an investigation by the Justice Department, which ultimately led to no charges against him, Gaetz is now engaging with his supporters through Cameo videos. In one video, Gaetz congratulated a recipient for their career success, despite their political differences.

Other embattled politicians, like former Rep. George Santos, have also turned to Cameo as a source of income after facing legal troubles. The platform has seen a variety of public figures, including former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich and former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani.

As Gaetz transitions from Capitol Hill to Cameo, he joins a long list of politicians using the platform to connect with their supporters and earn extra income. Despite the controversies surrounding his career, Gaetz continues to engage with his fans through personalized videos on Cameo, showcasing a different side of his public persona.
