New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers had some pretty bold statements to say about alleged iffy connections between late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein. The initial comment by Rogers was brought to light during his appearance on The Pat McAfee Show and Kimmel responded via social media. Kimmel did not take the comments lightly as his response contained the threat of legal action.

During his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rogers took a moment to reveal his thoughts on some allegations and connections that surround the Epstein case. In doing this, he called out Kimmel and explained that he would be celebrating if the allegations of Kimmel hanging out with Epistien surfaced and were true. After that, Kimmel took to social media after Rodgers said that Kimmel’s name could possibly be on a list of associates connected to Epstein. According to TVLine, the comment by Rogers followed some continuous turmoil between the late-night host and the football player that began in March 2023 when Kimmel joked about Rodgers being a “tin foil hatter” after he brought up UFOs and Epstein. “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that [list] doesn’t come out,” said Rodgers. He then added later, “If that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”

After this, Kimmel’s response read: “For the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein,” Kimmel stated. He then continued, “nor will you find my name on any ‘list’ other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

According to TVLine, this is all happening before the release of hundreds of documents that are related to the case of Epstein that are set to be “unsealed by a federal judge.”
