“Y’all weren’t ready for this drop? I’ve decided to bring Kitara out of the closet after 18 years! for a limited time & with 20% of the proceeds going to @Tunnel2Towers & @TheFellowship Book your Kitara @BookCameo on the link below,” the 35-year-old posted on X on Monday.
Cameo is a digital platform that lets fans pay celebrities to record short, customized videos. Santos’ videos — as Kitara Ravache — will cost $350, according to the new account’s page, NBC reported.
Santos started using Cameo just days after he was booted from Congress.
In 2022, Santos was accused of falsely claiming that he is Jewish and that his mother was in the World Trade Center on 9/11. The Long Islander told the New York Post in an interview later that year that he never claimed to be Jewish, but instead said he was “Jew-ish.” Records obtained by NBC News in January 2023 showed that Santos’ mother was living in Brazil during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Santos initially denied a 2023 report about Kitara Ravache. Days later, he told reporters that he had dressed in female attire, but stopped short of describing himself as a drag queen.
He was expelled by the House of Representatives on Dec. 1 and faces a 23-count federal indictment accusing him of stealing from campaign donors and laundering cash for personal use.
Santos has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to all counts.
