Jimmy Kimmel threatens to sue Aaron Rodgers over ‘nonsense’ Epstein list allegation
Global News
During a guest appearance on a podcast, Aaron Rodgers said many people, "including Jimmy Kimmel," do not want Jeffrey Epstein's contact list publicly released.
Jimmy Kimmel had strong words for New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers after the NFL player suggested the late-night talk show host’s name would appear on a much-anticipated list of Jeffrey Epstein‘s associates.
Rodgers, 40, made the claim about Kimmel, 56, during a guest appearance on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. While speaking with the show’s hosts, Rodgers said there are many people, “including Jimmy Kimmel,” who do not want the contact list belonging to Epstein to be publicly released.
“I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I’ll definitely will be popping some sort of bottle,” added Rodgers, who appeared to be sitting inside a wine cellar.
On the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kimmel reshared a clip of Rodgers making the allegation, and staunchly denied ever meeting Epstein.
The tension between Kimmel and Rodgers is not new. In March 2023, Kimmel slammed Rodgers for discussing UFOs and the Epstein list on The Pat McAfee Show.
Kimmel called Rodgers a slew of names, including a “tinfoil hatter” and “Green Bay whack packer.” The comedian concluded the segment with a snide remark that Rodgers may want to “revisit” the NFL’s “concussion protocol.”
Both ABC, which airs Jimmy Kimmel Live and ESPN, which airs The Pat McAfee Show, are Disney-owned properties. Rodgers appears on The Pat McAfee Show on a weekly basis.
