Jimmy Kimmel threatens to sue Aaron Rodgers for implying Jeffrey Epstein connection

“I’ve not had any contact whatsoever with Epstein,” the late-night host told the NFL quarterback on social media.

Jimmy Kimmel is not kidding around when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. The talk show host threatened to sue NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers for implying that Kimmel was connected to the late convicted 𝓈ℯ𝓍 offender.

The fracas started after Rodgers appeared on The Pat McAfee Show and discussed with the hosts the upcoming release of high-profile names who flew on Epstein’s plane, visited his island, or were involved with the criminal’s infamous 𝓈ℯ𝓍-trafficking operation.

“A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said on the show, without providing any factual support for his allegation.

The clip of Rodgers’ remark quickly went viral on social media, and it wasn’t long before Kimmel himself saw it and issued a forceful response on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Dear A—–e: 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,” Kimmel wrote. “Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12”

Representatives for Rodgers and Kimmel did not immediately respond to EW’s request for comment.

Epstein was a financier who was criminally charged with 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually abusing and 𝓈ℯ𝓍-trafficking young women like Virginia Giuffre among famous friends on his plane and private island.

He was initially arrested in 2008 and served a 13-month prison sentence, for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute, from a 2008 plea deal in Florida.
