Long into the years of fighting, this is a tale of two superstars locking horns. Looking at the cause of the beefing of Aaron Rogers and Jimmy Kimmel, this article will be focused primarily on some of the vital and important details you need to have about the two sport celebrities.
Aaron Rodger
Aaron Charles Rodgers is an American football quarterback for the New York Jets of the National Football League. He played college football for the California Golden Bears, before being selected in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.
Jimmy Kimmel
James Christian Kimmel is an American television host, comedian, writer, and producer. He is the host and executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, a late-night talk show, since 2003. Kimmel hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards in 2012, 2016 and 2020. He also hosted the Academy Awards in 2017, 2018 and 2023.
The Feud: Both Sides of the Coin
One of the very first things that sparked problem on the social media was about Jimmy’s comments. After that came Aaron’s hot response which at the end of the day did not sit well with Rodgers.
Comments
Jimmy Kimmel meant his words when it comes to recent comments outspoken NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers made about the popular late night host. In fact, he’s threatened to sue the former Super Bowl champion.
Rodgers, 40, suggested during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on January 2 that Kimmel is connected to the “list” of associates of Jeffrey Epstein, the former financier arrested on sex-trafficking charges in 2019.
The List
The “list” in question refers to a collection of documents related to a defamation suit against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s former associate and girlfriend, that a judge ordered to be unsealed after January 1. The has process received plenty of attention in recent weeks, as the documents were expected to reveal the names of alleged co-conspirators, victims, and witnesses pertaining to Epstein’s charges.
Epstein was found dead inside his prison cell in August 2019 before standing trial. His death was ruled a suicide.
Rodgers didn’t mention a reason or evidence to support linking Kimmel to the list, and the 56-year-old comedian hasn’t appeared in the documents that have been released.
But, not surprisingly, the comments angered Kimmel, who said in a social media post he would take Rodgers to court if he continued to make statements that are potentially defamatory. Their eye-opening interactions marked the escalation of a spat that, although relatively lighthearted prior to this incident, has been ongoing for years between the athlete and TV personality.
