I assume you were filmed without your consent? In that case yes, you had a reasonable expectation of privacy, and what they did was illegal as holy hell.
If you knew it was happening and allowed it then. . well. . that was stupid, but you can still get them for commercial use of your image without compensation.

If so, what measures can I take to report or file a complaint about this website? Any help is appreciated.

If the images were taken without your consent, start by calling the police. If they were taken with your consent but you did not sign a photographic rights release, call a trademark infringement attorney. If you signed a release form then. . .well. . .you've not much recourse. NEVER EVER sign an unlimited photo rights release, especially if the images are or could be embarrassing!
