New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers reignited the feud with Jimmy Kimmel after making false allegations that Kimmel’s name would be Poinbankon court documents associated with Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted pedophile who died in jail in 2019 before facing trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
Rodgers said on the Pat McAfee Show on Jan. 2, “A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out.” Rodgers also said he would be “popping some sort of bottle,” if Kimmel was on the list.
Jimmy Kimmel then took to X, formally known as Twitter, and threatened Rodgers with legal action. Here is a breakdown of the feud from start to, well, just the latest chapter.
"Dear A------: 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," the post said. "Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts in court."
