In a recent turn of events, Aaron Rodgers has responded to late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's threat of legal action over comments made by the New York Jets quarterback that seemed to suggest a connection between Kimmel and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Kimmel vehemently denied any involvement and clarified that his name does not appear in any of the newly released documents related to Epstein.

Rodgers took the opportunity to address Kimmel's remarks during an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show." While acknowledging the seriousness of the accusation, Rodgers firmly denied making any direct allegations of pedophilia against Kimmel. He emphasized that he would never be foolish enough to accuse someone without concrete evidence. "I'm glad you're not on the list because those who are on the list - and this what I think we can agree on - that at minimum there should be an inquiry into their involvement, especially if they went to the island," he stated. "And at maximum, there should be an investigation."

Furthermore, Rodgers expressed relief that Kimmel's name was not among the individuals associated with Epstein. "I'm glad that Jimmy is not on the list," he added sincerely. "I really am."

On the other side, during his show on Monday night, Kimmel started by addressing the recent dispute with Rodgers. He highlighted Rodgers' insinuation on the Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel may have been trying to prevent the release of a supposed list of Epstein associates. Kimmel firmly denied any involvement with Epstein and suggested that if Rodgers wanted to make false and damaging statements, they should be brought to court, where Rodgers would have to present his evidence.

Kimmel also took the opportunity to address critics who argue that as a comedian on a late-night show, he frequently pokes fun at others. He emphasized that there is a significant difference between making jokes and fabricating lies. "We say a lot of things on this show. We don't make up lies," Kimmel asserted. He further stated that if he were to make a mistake, he would apologize and encouraged Rodgers to do the same. However, Kimmel expressed doubt that Rodgers would extend an apology, stating, "My guess is that he won't apologize."

This ongoing feud between Rodgers and Kimmel has attracted significant attention, with many eagerly awaiting a resolution. As the public watches, the question remains whether either party will offer an apology or if this dispute will escalate further.
