Jimmy Kimmel Threatens Legal Action Against NFL Quarterback Aaron Rodgers Over Defamatory Comments

Late night television host Jimmy Kimmel has responded to NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers after the New York Jets player suggested Kimmel’s name would be included in a list of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged associates.

Kimmel took to Twitter to slam Rodgers and threatened legal action, saying, “Aaron Rodgers, I’ve never even heard of you until you started making defamatory statements about me. I would advise you to stop while you still can. I’m sure the internet will help you familiarize yourself with what could happen if you don’t.”

The list of more than 150 people connected to Epstein is expected to be unsealed this month. During an appearance on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday, Rodgers speculated that “a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel are hoping it doesn’t come out.”

“If that list comes out, I will definitely be popping some sort of bottle,” Rodgers added.

Kimmel responded to Rodgers’ comments on Twitter, saying, “I’ve never even heard of you until you started making defamatory statements about me. I would advise you to stop while you still can. I’m sure the internet will help you familiarize yourself with what could happen if you don’t.”

Kimmel’s response has sparked a debate on social media, with many people questioning Rodgers’ comments and whether he was implying Kimmel was connected to Epstein.

The list of Epstein’s alleged associates is expected to be released soon, and it remains to be seen whether Kimmel’s name will be included. Until then, Kimmel has made it clear that he will not tolerate any false accusations and will take legal action if necessary.
