As of Sunday night, Gaetz is charging a minimum of $550 per video, which so far have averaged about a minute and a half in length.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI served in Congress,\u201d his Cameo page reads, alluding to his recent resignation and subsequent announcement that he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/congress\/matt-gaetz-says-doesnt-plan-rejoin-congress-withdrawing-name-attorney-rcna181378\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">does not plan to<\/a> retake his House seat. \u201cTrump nominated me to be US Attorney General (that didn\u2019t work out). Once I fired the House Speaker.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The speaker he &#8220;fired&#8221; hints at his feud with Kevin McCarthy, whom he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/congress\/house-will-vote-today-rep-gaetzs-push-topple-mccarthy-speaker-rcna118557\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">played a pivotal role in ousting<\/a> last year when Gaetz forced a House vote that led to McCarthy&#8217;s removal from office. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">A representative for Gaetz did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Gaetz announced Thursday his decision to take himself out of the running for attorney general, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/mattgaetz\/status\/1859649045553402285\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing on X<\/a>, \u201cWhile the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump\/Vance Transition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">His potential appointment was overshadowed by several allegations of sexual misconduct, including allegations that he had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/politics-news\/matt-gaetz-allegedly-paid-adult-woman-sex-2017-attorney-says-rcna180174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sex with a 17-year-old at a party in 2017<\/a>. He was also investigated by the Justice Department \u2014 which he would have led had he been confirmed \u2014 related to allegations of sex trafficking and sex with a minor. Gaetz has vehemently denied allegations of sexual misconduct, and the investigation ended with no charges against him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Gaetz\u2019s resignation last week also effectively ended a House Ethics Committee investigation into the allegations against him, which had been ongoing intermittently since 2021. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">From Capitol Hill to Cameo<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\">Cameo, the celebrity video message app, which launched in 2017, allows users to purchase custom shoutouts from famous figures who join the app. Fans on Cameo commonly request these videos, priced by the celebrities themselves, for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and graduations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Despite facing some financial trouble in recent years, Cameo has remained a fixture for some public figures seeking an extra source of income. It\u2019s become a notorious marketplace for fan-requested videos from pop culture\u2019s most dramatic and villainized personalities, which often go viral when posted to social media platforms like TikTok and X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">In one video, Gaetz, a Republican, filmed himself congratulating a recipient for making partner at their law firm while acknowledging their political differences. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u201cLook, I know your politics and mine may not align specifically, but you know, our career trajectories might not be either. I mean,<strong> <\/strong>here you are making partner, and my legal career took a little bit of a different turn this last week,\u201d Gaetz said. \u201cBut you know what? Work hard, get paid a lot of money, do a lot of great things as a practitioner and counselor at law, and you know, you never know. You could be an attorney general nominee, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Other videos feature Gaetz thanking his recipients for \u201cbacking President Trump and all of our efforts to save the country\u201d and being \u201cthere for MAGA.\u201d He also roasted one recipient for \u201cbetting on things like\u2026 Kamala Harris to be the President of the United States. You got to get better habits for that \u2014 bet on Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Gaetz is following in the footsteps of other embattled politicians such as<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/tech\/internet\/george-santos-cameo-congress-price-cost-video-rcna128351\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">former Rep.
