Jimmy Kimmel faced backlash after NFL star Aaron Rodgers suggested his potential involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.
Kimmel vehemently denied any association and threatened legal action.
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said.
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.

“I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle,” he added.
“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,” Kimmel said.
“Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court,” he added.
However, Kimmel received criticism for his past remarks on unvaccinated COVID-19 patients, which led to comedian Rob Schneider and others calling out his lack of remorse.
“Dr. Fauci said that if hospitals get any more overcrowded they’re going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed,” Kimmel said previously.
“I don’t know, that choice doesn’t seem so tough to me,” he added.
You, @jimmykimmel asking for hospitals to NOT treat unvaccinated patients and let them die in hospital corridors was dangerous, wrong and shameful and fed into people being fired, demonized and ostracized.
And YOU NEVER APOLOGIZED. https://t.co/sOlBJ9GySJ— Rob Schneider (@RobSchneider) January 4, 2024
“Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes, come right on in, we’ll take care of you.”
“Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy.’”
Schneider later wrote that Kimmel’s comments were “dangerous, wrong and shameful and fed into people being fired, demonized and ostracized. And YOU NEVER APOLOGIZED.”
Despite Kimmel’s public outrage, his past comments and potential connections to Epstein have come under scrutiny, leading to a public reckoning for the late-night host.
