Late-night host vows to sue NFL quarterback over allegations of Epstein connection
The ongoing feud between talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has escalated, with legal threats now flying in the air. The sparks were reignited after Rodgers hinted on The Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel may have a vested interest in preventing the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s list.
In a recent episode of McAfee’s show, Rodgers suggested that Kimmel, along with others, was desperately wishing the Epstein list never sees the light of day. The quarterback’s insinuations about Kimmel’s potential involvement have triggered a fiery response from the late-night host.
Taking to social media, Kimmel vehemently denied any association with Epstein, stating, “Dear A**hole: 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 didn’t stop there; he issued a stern warning to Rodgers, asserting that the quarterback’s words put his family in danger. He concluded by threatening legal action and inviting further debate in court.
While Rodgers is yet to respond to Kimmel’s legal threats, social media is buzzing with divided opinions on the spat. Some users applaud Kimmel for his response, with one commenting, “Oh Jimmy actually cooked Rogers.” However, not everyone is on Kimmel’s side, as another wrote, “Awww the ‘comedian’ can’t take a joke.”
McAfee’s show, where the drama unfolded, carries a disclaimer emphasizing its comedic and informative nature, distancing itself from the opinions expressed by its hosts.
