BREAKING: Jimmy Kimmel threatens to sue Aaron Rodgers for suggesting connection to Jeffrey Epstein

Notoriously woke late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel has strongly criticized New York Jets player Aaron Rodgers, issuing a threat to take legal action. Kimmel's response comes in the wake of Rodgers suggesting on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" that Kimmel may have ties to the notorious Jeffrey Epstein.

Kimmel said that Rodgers' "reckless words" have endangered his family. He warned Rodgers to cease such statements, emphasizing that further discussions on the matter might unfold in a court of law.

"Dear Aasshole [sic]: 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. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court. @AaronRodgers12" Kimmel posted on X.

During the ESPN interview, Rodgers implied that Kimmel was among the individuals who frequented Epstein's infamous private island, allegedly taking advantage of the underage girls trafficked by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Speculation has arisen regarding the impending release of an unredacted list of associates in the new year.

The mention of Epstein's list was initially brought up by McAfee's co-host, AJ Hawk, prompting Rodgers to acknowledge the concerns surrounding its potential disclosure. Rodgers stated, "A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out." He further expressed his sentiment that if the list were to be made public, he would celebrate the event with a bottle in hand. "I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle."

US District Judge Loretta Preska recently ruled that the previously sealed list, comprising over 150 named associates identified as "John and Jane Does," could be unsealed starting from January 1, as reported by ABC. This decision has heightened anticipation and speculation surrounding the individuals listed and the potential repercussions of their association with Epstein.

It was previously revealed that Kimmel has a close friendship with Epstein's former personal chef, Adam Perry Lang.

According to ABC News, Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton are anticipated to be among the names set to be disclosed. This revelation is linked to the unsealing of documents related to a 2015 civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell, a co-conspirator of Jeffrey Epstein.
