Remember Jimmy Fallon's incredibly awkward NFT interview with Paris Hilton? They're being sued for it.

Remember at the beginning of this year when Paris Hilton and Jimmy Fallon made us all suffer through anabout their Bored Ape NFTs? It was awkward and awful, although it did inspire some great reactions on social media, including one that predicted"if anyone can kill NFT culture, it's Jimmy Fallon and Paris Hilton."

"The Company presents the Bored Ape ecosystem as a brand that is organically beloved by some of the most famous celebrities in the world," the lawsuit states.

Naturally, the scheme worked: The endorsements increased both the interest in and the price of Bored Ape NFTs, the suit claims,"causing investors to purchase these losing investments at drastically inflated prices." "Fallon did not disclose that he had a financial interest in MoonPay or that he was likewise financially interested, directly or indirectly, in the increased sale and popularity of Yuga securities," the suit claims.

I did find it somewhat odd why so many celebrities suddenly endorsed ... those things.

NFTs ARE A SCAM AND RICH PEOPLE ARE FULL OF CRAP?!?!

Nice

I'm kind of happy about this because Jimmy Fallon always annoyed me with his fake laughs every interview.

Sue the lot

Hahaha NFT L's are the best

Remember when SethGreen wrecked his credibility by losing his worthless racist NFT

Really? Shonk!

I have never seen Jimmy Fellon genuinely enthusiastic about anything at all.

Cheh

You get what you deserve.

Way too common Jimmy Fallon L

They are disappointed that they didnt sell the scam well.

Can we just permanently cancel Jimmy Fallon and be done with it?

Why are people surprised by this? Celebs always get paid to talk stuff up.

“You can customize them. 😐”

NFT Karens are hilarious lol.

Really? The problem is that they were 'faking enthusiasm'. Not that NFTs are a scam and have been ruining people left and right?

...how do you judge 'organic' reactions? Shit, I don't know that Fallon's reactions are ever organic, I thought half the internet collectively agreed on that years ago.

NARRATOR VOICE: 'But as a matter of fact, it didn't even *appear* organic.'

Please let them burn.... that was such an unbelievable scam they pulled

This is gonna be a hilarious shit show if this manages to go through.

I forgot about NFTs

Lemme know what happens

Good.

😆

What the heck is nfts? I googled it but understood nada, zilch, zip… I’m old..

There is no cure for stupid. (No legal recourse, either.)

2020 was a weird year.

Good

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

You absolutely love to see it

Cryptobros taking yet another L, gotta love it.

what does this game to do with PC gaming. Is it because NFTs are in video games?

Everyone who promoted NFTs, and referred to them as a hedge.

Good

So all those people who said that it's fine for him to promote his NFT, which no doubt let to its increase in price, while being very much aware of it AND doing so without disclosure, were wrong? NO WAY!!!

I must say, this news is the funniest thing to ever be spawned by Jimmy's tonight show.

Don’t get what makes NFTs popular

Holy W
