Late-night talk show host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel sent New York Jets’ Aaron Rodgers a serious warning Tuesday evening after the quarterback linked Kimmel to Jeffrey Epstein.
There is a lot of buzz this week that the US government will release a list containing names linked to Epstein in the near future. Kimmel recently mocked Rodgers for discussing the Epstein list during a previous appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

On Tuesday, Rodgers took a shot at Kimmel, who works for Disney, during the quarterback’s appearance on the Disney-owned ESPN show hosted by McAfee. Rodgers said in a seemingly joking manner that Kimmel is one of the people who is hoping the Epstein list is not released.
NEW: Quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he will pop "some sort of bottle" when the Epstein associates list is released and suggests Jimmy Kimmel will be named.
Everyone is excited 🔥

Kimmel responded on social media to Rodgers’ comments. He threatened to take Rodgers to court and alleged Kimmel’s family was in danger because of what Rodgers said when he linked him to Epstein:
“Dear Aasshole: 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,” Kimmel wrote.

Kimmel did not specify how his family was put in danger by Rodgers’ comments.
It’ll be interesting to see if Rodgers responds in the near future. Kimmel started the feud by making fun of Rodgers in the first place. It’s bad look that the comedian can’t take a joke.
