The dispute arose when Rodgers hinted on the Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel might be included in the list of nearly 200 names associated with Epstein. The list, currently sealed by a New York judge, includes individuals linked to Epstein, such as associates, former employees, or passengers on his private jets.
Rodgers’ Remarks
During the show, Rodgers stated, “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping [the list] doesn’t come out. … I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I’ll definitely be popping some sort of bottle.”
Kimmel’s Response
Kimmel, in response to the insinuation, took to X (formerly Twitter), 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.”
Escalation
The late-night host further warned Rodgers that his “reckless words” put Kimmel’s family in danger and threatened to take the matter to court if Rodgers continued making such statements.
Context
Rodgers’ comments seemed to be a retaliation for a previous joke Kimmel made on his show, mocking Rodgers for discussing the Epstein list and UFOs on the Pat McAfee Show. Kimmel implied that Rodgers was attempting to divert attention from his on-field performance.
Implications
The public spat between the two celebrities has captured the attention of fans, who are eagerly awaiting the potential release of the Epstein list and the implications it may have on influential figures connected to Epstein’s crimes.
