Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert started the weekend offering personalized videos on Cameo for $250 a clip. But by afternoon, that account had been frozen.
The Denver Post confirmed the authenticity of Boebert’s Cameo page, noting that the House of Representatives caps the amount of money its member can make from outside gigs at just under $32,000 annually. It isn’t clear how many people paid Boebert for recorded messages since she began offering them Saturday.
A message reading “Lauren Boebert isn’t available right now” now appears when Cameo users go to her page.
Boebert joined Cameo one day after former colleague Matt Gaetz signed up. Gaetz’s videos began selling for $500 after he withdrew his name from consideration for Attorney General amid reports he paid for sex with an underaged girl on more than one occasion while serving in Congress.
Gaetz resigned from the House of Representatives on Nov. 13, which has so far stopped the House Ethics Committee from releasing the report from its investigation into the 42-year-old former lawmaker’s conduct. Gaetz denies wrongdoing.
Despite questions about her own behavior, Colorado voters reelected Boebert to the House of Representatives earlier in the month, albeit in a different district that the one she narrowly won in 2022.
One of her bigger controversies while representing the Centennial State came in September 2023 when she was booted from a Denver theater for participating in lewd behavior with a date during a performance of the musical “Beetlejuice.”
Advice from its members is one of the services promoted by Cameo.
“Hey Cameo, it’s your girl from Colorado, Lauren Boebert,” the 37-year-old right-wing firebrand said in her introductory video on Cameo.
Boebert’s Cameo profile describes her as a “Jesus loving, Constitutionalist, America first, freedom fighter.”
