Aaron Rodgers made no apologies to Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday.
ABC late-night host Kimmel suggested last week on “The Pat McAfee Show,” on which Rodgers makes a weekly paid appearance, that he may have been involved in documents scheduled for release by Jeffrey Epstein. At the time, he believed he had been slandered by the Jets quarterback. .
Kimmel aggressively hit back at Rodgers on X last week, threatening legal action, but in a monologue Monday night he said he owed Rodgers an apology but didn't expect him to apologize, 40. Buck was scorched and burned. One.
Kimmel's hopes were met.
“I have no apologies for that guy at ABC,” Rodgers said on Tuesday's show.
Rodgers joked about the Epstein documents being released on his show last week, saying, “A lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hope they never get released.”
Mr. Rogers joked that he would empty the bottle every time the list came up.
“I haven't opened the bottle yet because it's not on the list, but I'm glad Jimmy's not on the list. He really is on the list,” Rogers said Tuesday.
Their feud began during the COVID-19 pandemic when Kimmel mocked Rodgers' anti-vaccination stance and his famous “I'm vaccinated” statement.
“Aaron Rodgers thinks very highly of himself,” Kimmel said in his Monday monologue. “He believes he's special because he's had success on the football field. The idea that he had an average brain was unfathomable. Aaron said on his report card that he was I got two A's, and they were both in the word “Aaron.” ”
Rodgers attacked Kimmel again, saying, “I think it's amazing that a guy who went to Arizona State University and had 10 joke writers can read a teleprompter. My education, JUCO, 3 in California. I'm very proud of the semester, but it worked out for me and I'm glad to see it worked out for him too.
“I wish him the best of luck, but I don't follow what he says about me. As long as he understands what I actually said, and being on the list, I don't follow what he says about me. I'm not accusing you.”
