Back in January, Green Bay Packers legend Aaron Rodgers made late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel furious when he seemingly implied during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel had ties to Jeffrey Epstein — the convicted sex offender. That led to Kimmel hitting back at Rodgers, categorically denying the claim and threatening to take legal action against the QB. Over a month later, Rodgers touched on the subject of his feud with Kimmel when he guested on a different podcast, this time on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Rodgers told Rogan that what he said about Kimmel was simply taken out of context.
(h/t Christopher Kuhagen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
“That’s a big accusation that I wouldn’t make,” Rodgers said, in referencing he was taken out of context in his initial statement about Kimmel and the list by the media.
It echoed Rodgers’ reaction following Kimmel’s angry tirade.
What Former Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Said In Response To Jimmy Kimmel’s Angry Pushback
In a separate appearance on McAfee’s show, Rodgers tried to explain his original statement that triggered Kimmel (h/t CBS).
“I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero 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 said. “And at maximum, there should be an investigation.”
The two personalities have not met in person since their feud started in 2021 when Kimmel slammed Rodgers for the then Green Bay Packers QB’s COVID-19 vaccine stance. There could be more verbal missiles to come from either side, but the hope is that they will be able to work out their differences.
