In a recent appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” NFL star Aaron Rodgers touched on the infamous Jeffrey Epstein list which includes the names of many high-profile people who were either former clients or associates of the disgraced financier. “It’s supposed to be coming out soon. There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, that are really hoping that doesn’t come out. I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle,” Rodgers said of the list (per Vanity Fair).
Unsurprisingly, Kimmel did not take Rodgers’ accusation lightly, and soon addressed the former Green Bay Packers quarterback. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), Kimmel refuted Rodgers’ claim, noting that he was in no way linked to Epstein. “For the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, 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,” Kimmel’s tweet read in part. Going further, the talk show host described Rodgers’ comment as reckless, stating that it put his family in danger. “Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court,” Kimmel concluded.
But while Rodgers’ unverified claim about Kimmel seemingly came out of nowhere, it appears to be the NFL star’s attempt at revenge for past offenses.
