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.

Legal justice is coming Kimmel.
