Jimmy Kimmel Rips ‘Hamster-Brained’ Aaron Rodgers for Suggesting He’d Be in Epstein Docs: ‘My Guess is He Won’t Apologize’
Jimmy Kimmel tore into former football quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Monday after Rodgers incorrectly suggested that Kimmel would be named in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking.
On his show Jimmy Kimmel Live, Monday, Kimmel asked the audience, “Did you hear this story about me and Aaron Rodgers?”
Kimmel continued:
He went on a show on ESPN, the Pat McAfee show, and out of the blue insinuated that I was nervous because the Jeffrey Epstein list was coming out. He said I was hoping it wouldn’t and that he was going to pop a bottle of something to celebrate when he did, and then it did come out, and of course my name wasn’t on it and isn’t on it and won’t ever be on it. I don’t know Jeffrey Epstein, I’ve never met Jeffrey Epstein, I’m not on a list, I was not on a plane or an island or anything ever, and I suggested that if Aaron wanted to make false and very damaging statements like that, that we should do it in court.
The late-night host claimed that “a lot of delusional people honestly believe I am meeting up with Tom Hanks and Oprah at Shakey’s once a week to eat pizza and drink the blood of children” and that his family had been repeatedly harassed by such people, who he would now be “hearing from lots more” thanks to Rodgers.
“Either he actually believes my name was going to be on Epstein’s list, which is insane, or the more likely scenario is he doesn’t actually believe that he just said it because he’s mad at me for making fun of his top knot and his lies about being vaccinated,” said Kimmel, before playing a clip from 2023 where he made fun of the former football player.
He continued, “So he saw that, and maybe to retaliate, he decided to insinuate that I am a pedophile. This is how these nuts do it now. You don’t like Trump? You’re a pedophile. It’s their go-to move, and it shows you how much they actually care about pedophilia.”
Kimmel continued to tear into Rodgers, calling him a “hamster-brained man” and remarking, “He genuinely thinks that because God gave him the ability to throw a ball, he’s smarter than everyone else.”
Calling for Rodgers to apologize for the remarks, Kimmel said, “If he does, do you know what I’ll do? I’ll accept his apology and move on. But he probably won’t do that. My guess is he won’t apologize.”
He then concluded, “By the way, if you’re looking for someone who actually was a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, who called him a terrific guy and bragged about his affinity for younger women, I have very good news, Epstein hunters. I found one for you,” before playing a 1992 clip of former President Donald Trump hanging out with Epstein.
