On The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers said that there were a lot of people worried about the impending release of the names, adding \u201cincluding Jimmy Kimmel.\u201d Previously, Kimmel had criticized Rodgers for an older clip on the podcast which made a similar implication. \u201cIf that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle,\u201d Rodgers concluded. After the clip was shared and went viral on X\/Twitter, Kimmel issued a response. Jimmy Kimmel responds to Aaron Rodgers In addition to refuting the implication made by Rodgers, Kimmel hinted that legal action would be his next potential step. \u201cDear Aasshole: for the record, I\u2019ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any \u2018list\u2019 other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can\u2019t seem to distinguish from reality,\u201d Kimmel retorted. \u201cYour reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.\u201d Kimmel\u2019s response instantly went viral, clocking in over 150,000 likes on X at the time of writing. Pat McAfee apologizes Rodgers is not particularly active on X\/Twitter, and so has not yet rebuttled, but may do so when he makes his weekly Tuesday appearance on McAfee\u2019s show. On the next day\u2019s show, McAfee said, \u201cWhenever there\u2019s accusations made about people, that can lead to lawsuits.\u201d \u201cWe obviously don\u2019t like the fact we\u2019re associated with anything negative, ever. [\u2026] So we apologize for being a part of it. Can\u2019t wait to hear what Aaron has to say about it. Hopefully those two will just be able to settle this, not court-wise, but be able to chit-chat, move along.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
