Jimmy Kimmel calls Aaron Rodgers 'a*****e' as late-night host hits back at NFL star over Epstein list allegations

MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: In response to Aaron Rodgers' comments connecting Jimmy Kimmel to the list of Jeffrey Epstein's associates, the late-night host has addressed the situation, expressing his thoughts on X.

On the 'Pat McAfee Show', Rodgers insinuated that Kimmel might be named on the Epstein list, with the quarterback stating, "There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesn’t come out."

The revelation of names from the list of over 150 associates of the late sex offender Epstein is on the horizon, following a court order issued by a federal judge in December.

Jimmy Kimmel calls Aaron Rodgers 'a**hole' over his Epstein list remark

Jimmy Kimmel took to Twitter to dismiss Aaron Rodgers' claim about his connection to Epstein, asserting his position on the matter. He wrote, “Dear Aasshole: 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. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

In March 2023, Kimmel ridiculed Rodgers for bringing up the Epstein list and UFOs during a February appearance on the 'Pat McAfee Show'.

Rodgers had mentioned the imminent release of the Epstein client list, saying, “Did you hear about the Epstein client list about to be released?”

"There’s some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon," he added. 

Kimmel, on his late-night show, played the clip of Rodgers and sarcastically said, "It might be time to revisit the concussion protocol, Aaron." He also labeled the quarterback as a "tin-foil hatter."

'Do you need help? I'll help'  

As per the Daily Mail, the associates and influential acquaintances of the convicted sex offender are poised to be revealed as part of an extensive unsealing ordered by a judge just before the New Year.

In the forthcoming release, approximately 177 individuals will be identified through numerous files, providing further insight into the late financier's sex trafficking operation and his extensive network of influence.

In light of the incident, netizens have come forth in support of the late night host, with one user commenting, "Jimmy: For God's sake sue @AaronRodgers12 Do you need help? I'll help."

"It would be a better idea to sue aaron rodgers for defamation!! Get as much money you can get from him!!"

"I think he just violated your HIPPA rights," another social media user tweeted.

"BOOM! Love it Jimmy. Aaron Rodgers is another one of those right-wing wackos," one user said.

However, some netizens also criticized Kimmel for condemning Aaron Rodgers, who linked him with Jeffrey Epstein.

Some of the comments read, "Awww the “comedian” can’t take a joke," and "the panic is real."

"Jimmy Kimmel seems awfully defensive. Looks like Aaron Rodgers was more over the target than we may have realized," one user said.
