Disgraced ex-Long Island Rep. George Santos was already back on the celebrity-for-hire platform Cameo on Saturday — “fresh out of prison” and ready to try to rake in big bucks again after his presidential pardon.
The 37-year-old convicted New York fraudster reappeared on the platform — where he has previously made more than $600,000 — for the first time in three months since landing behind bars for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
“Diva UP Always!” the fallen Republican wrote on X as he shamelessly plugged his return to Cameo, where people can shell out at least $300 for him to send them personalized messages including involving birthdays, pep talks, advice and wedding speeches.
Businesses can also book a seven-day licensed “selfie-style video” from Santos starting at $5,000.
“I’m back!!!’’ the ex-con former congressman wrote in his Cameo description — less than a day after his lawyer begged for the media to give Santos his privacy to allow him to “decompress.”
Santos revealed on X that his first meal out of prison was sushi — and that he is now “back to put smiles on all your faces!
“I’m far from perfect. I’ve made mistakes, I’ve stumbled, but I never lost faith in Him,” Santos wrote Friday, the day he was released from lock-up.
Santos’ first “Cameo” was to wish former Trump White House staffer Megan Small a happy birthday, according to a video posted online.
“George Santos, fresh out of prison break,” the ex-con said, laughing, before he finished his birthday message.
The former Republican Congressman’s personal online venture had been on hiatus while he was imprisoned at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, NJ.
He was released Friday night, hours after President Trump commuted his seven-plus-year prison sentence.
Santos thanked Trump in a long-winded post to X on Saturday, saying the president gave him “a true second chance at life.
“President Trump reminded me that in this country we love so much, no mistake, no hardship, and no fall from grace can take away the possibility of renewal,” Santos wrote.
Santos pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was sentenced April 25, reporting to prison July 25.
He only served 84 days of his 87-month sentence.
Santos confessed that he and campaign treasurer Nancy Marks, who also pleaded guilty to fraud conspiracy, had “filed the list of false names” to federal regulators and “used the names of our friends and family … to artificially inflate the numbers of our donors’’ to rake in more public funding.
The illegally obtained taxpayer money was then spent partly on OnlyFans subscriptions, Botox and spa treatments.
Santos also wildly lied about his personal and professional accomplishments before being elected, helping to get him booted from Congress in 2023.
Among his lies was that he came from a Jewish family.
“I never claimed to be Jewish,” Santos famously tried arguing to The Post at one point. “I am Catholic.
“Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was ‘Jew-ish.’ ”
The lying ex-pol, reached by phone by The Post on Sunday, declined comment other than to say, “ You have a nice day’’ before hanging up.
Minutes earlier, he had written on X, “To the members of the press, I respectfully ask that any questions regarding the commutation of my sentence, granted by President Donald J. Trump under the grace of God, be directed to me personally.
“I am currently in a period of reflection and healing, and if part of that process means facing tough questions from the media, I am willing, ready, and able to do so.”
His lawyer told The Post on Saturday that Santos needed “decompressing” from the “traumatic experience” of prison.
“He was released last night. Let’s give him – let’s respect his and his family’s privacy and let them decompress a little. It’s a traumatic experience as you can imagine,” said the lawyer, Joseph Murray of Long Island.
During his shortened incarceration, Santos told The South Shore Press about the appalling “fluorescent yellow … state-issued polyester” jumpsuits, as well as mold and broken AC units in the Jersey facility.
Santos revealed he had talked to Trump earlier in the day and was inspired to do good, pledging to reform America’s prison system.
“Inspired by President Trump’s work toward peace in the Middle East, I am dedicating myself to doing good, to building bridges instead of walls,” Santos wrote.
