Jimmy Kimmel vs Aaron Rodgers on Epstein list

On Tuesday, Rodgers stated that Jimmy would undoubtedly be on the controversial Epstein list that is about to be made public on Pat McFee's ESPN show. He said, “There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesn’t come out.”

Well, it doesn't quite settle with the popular American show host who blasted the athlete in his tweet. “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.” Hinting towards a potential court case he said “Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”
