What to Expect From Epstein’s List: Aaron Rodgers’ Controversial Comment on Jimmy Kimmel
Jeffrey Epstein is an American financier who was accused of serial s*x offenses and p*dophilia as well as running a network of underage girls, which would count as s*x trafficking. The disgraced millionaire is friends with some of the most influential people all over the world, who are all speculated to be associated with his crimes.
From Bill Gates to Prince Andrew, even former presidents like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have been dragged into the mud for their supposed connections with Epstein.
Epstein died in a New York prison cell on August 10, 2019, by committing suicide. The identities of the list of people associated with Epstein are expected to be made public in a few days, according to court orders. There are 187 mentions of “J Doe” in the court papers of a lawsuit linked to Maxwell that the judge ordered to be unsealed, so the names can be made public. Naturally, this has caused quite a cacophony on the internet, and it seems like celebrities are no exception to the chaos.
Recently, New York Jets’ quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw shade at Jimmy Kimmel by saying he has a high chance of appearing on the list and Kimmel retorted with the promise of a lawsuit.
Jimmy Kimmel gets into heated online feud with Aaron Rodgers over Epstein’s list
Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers have not seen eye-to-eye for some time now. Even some time back, in March 2023, they had a feud over an appearance Rodger made on The Pat McAfee Show. In that show clip, he was seen saying,
“Did you hear about the Epstein client list about to be released? There’s some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon.”
Rodgers also talked about UFOs on the show. Kimmel played the clip on his show to mock Aaron Rodgers and said,
“It might be time to revisit the concussion protocol, Aaron.”
He did not stop there and even called the sportsman a “tin-foil hatter.” Now, even as a comedian, Kimmel might have gone too far. However, what Aaron Rodgers has done now is being seen as widely inappropriate and completely out of line by many netizens.
Rodgers, in an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, where he was discussing the impending list with the show’s host, hinted at the possibility of Kimmel being on the cursed list.
“A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are hoping that doesn’t come out. I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”
When Kimmel learned of the clip, he promptly responded on X (formerly Twitter), calling him an “a*shole” and his statement “clearly-phony nonsense.” He also threatened a lawsuit against him in the same tweet. Check out the full text below:
“Dear [Aa–hole]: 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.”

According to CBS, more than 150 names will be made public from the Epstein list, which includes his former employees, associates, and flyers of his private jets. The list has been kept under tight wraps so far. However, according to a New York judge’s ruling, it would be made public soon to give those included an opportunity to appeal their listing.
Who visited Jeffrey Epstein’s island?
Jeffrey Epstein, the level three sex offender, allegedly had connections to the most powerful people and celebrities whom he hosted on his private island. His connections branched from former US presidents to members of the British Royal Family. The US Virgin Islands attorney general described the island in the complaint as,
“The perfect hideaway and haven for trafficking young women and underage girls for s*xual servitude, child a(use and s*xual a**ault. Epstein and his associates could avoid detection of their illegal activity from Virgin Islands and federal law enforcement, and prevent these young women and underage girls from leaving freely and escaping the a*use.”

Many locals even referred to the island as a p*dophile’s island due to its notorious reputation. It was famous for being a s*x trafficking hub, from which Epstein and his associates operated.
