Following the assertion that was made on the ESPN program, the host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” threatened to file a lawsuit against the NFL quarterback.
pat McAfee has issued an apology to Jimmy Kimmel for the part that he and his ESPN program played in intensifying the late-night television host’s rivalry with Aaron Rodgers. This led to Kimmel considering legal action over the NFL star’s Jeffrey Epstein statement. McAfee has apologized for his participation in this situation.
The ESPN personality began the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday by stating that he and his team were “rolling on two hours of sleep” for the show that featured Rodgers on Tuesday. He also stated that the program’s signature off-the-cuff segments that have little to no planning, combined with the fact that they had not gotten much sleep after covering the epic Rose Bowl game on Monday, may have contributed to a segment that may have gone too far.
“There could be some things that were certainly, probably — I mean, we’re gonna have to hear from Aaron on that — meant to be a s**t talk joke that can then become something that is obviously a very serious allegation, that then leads to a massive overnight story, one in which I put the baby down to sleep — I haven’t seen her in a while — then I pick up my phone and oh boy,” according to McAfee. “However, I can well understand why Jimmy Kimmel felt the way he did, particularly given the circumstances of his job. On the other hand, I believe Aaron is only attempting to speak s**t. Can we say that it went too far? Although Jimmy Kimmel said unequivocally that this was the situation, it is important to note that Aaron and Jimmy have been, I don’t know, you know? Therefore, it is clear that we do not appreciate the fact that we are connected to anything that is unfavorable at any time. “We would like for our show to be one that is uplifting, one that is happy, and one that is fun; however, the reason for this is that we talk s**t and try to make sense of everything.”
He went on to say, “It is obvious that there are certain things that people become very angry about, particularly when they are allegations of such a serious nature.” First and foremost, we are sorry for being a part of it. On the other hand, I can’t wait to hear Aaron’s thoughts on the matter. We can only hope that those two will be able to resolve this matter, not in a court of law, but at least be able to have a conversation and go on with their lives.
During the episode that aired on Tuesday, the quarterback for the New York Jets, who is a regular guest on the program, made a substantial suggestion that Kimmel may be one of the individuals who traveled with the disgraced billionaire and pedophile. There are hundreds of identities that are related to Epstein that are going to be disclosed by the time the court records that were previously sealed are made public any day now. Among these names are several important public people.
During the episode that aired on Tuesday, Rodgers said, “There are a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, who are really hoping that doesn’t come out.” “I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle.”
In November of 2021, the comedian Jimmy Kimmel called Aaron Rodgers a “Karen” because of the quarterback’s position on the COVID-19 vaccinations. This was the beginning of the animosity between Kimmel and Rodgers. Despite the fact that they have continued to criticize one another since then, the situation reached a boiling point on Tuesday as a result of Rodgers’ Epstein accusation, which prompted Kimmel to make a statement on social networking platforms.
“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,” Kimmel said on Twitter.
