Kimmel’s response to Aaron Rodgers accusations
(New York Post)-“The Aaron Rodgers-Jimmy Kimmel beef intensified Tuesday with Kimmel threatening potential legalaction over a “reckless” allegation by the Jets quarterback.
Rodgers said that Kimmel is one of “a lot of people” who “are really hoping” they are not on the to-be-released court documents linking individuals to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Here’s a look at how this feud originated:
This beef originated in November 2021 when Kimmel slammed Rodgers after the then-Packers quarterback tested positive for COVID-19.
Days later, Kimmel again went after Rodgers for his anti-vaccination comments directed toward the “woke mob” while on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
The one-sided beef then died down until February 2023, when Rodgers offered a conspiracy theory regarding UFOs being a distraction amid the potential release of the Epstein client list.
“There’s a lot of old papers and files and different things about interactions that Navy pilots have had, especially Navy pilots, I believe, with unidentified flying objects, so this is not surprising,” Rodgers said. “Obviously, there was some sort of Chinese spy balloon that was up in the air, allegedly, and there’s been a few other objects that have been shot down. I believe that this has been going on for a long time.
“I believe this has been going on for a long time. Interesting timing on everything. There’s a lot of other things going on in the world.”
Rodgers later referenced the Epstein list.
“Did you hear about the Epstein client list about to be released too?” Rodgers asked McAfee. “There’s some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon.
“(Ghislaine) Maxwell was the only person ever convicted of trafficking, and nobody who was involved in the trafficking ever went to jail, so nothing to see here.”
Rodgers’ UFO comments did not go unheard by Kimmel, who ripped Rodgers in March 2023.”
So now that you have been caught up on the back story of this celebrity feud. It’s quite obvious that Kimmel, an award-winning comedian, is doing what he does best. Finding satire in public figure’s statements and creating jokes around them to put in his monologue. That’s what the job of a late-night talk show host entails and Kimmel’s one of the best doing it today.
If Aaron Rodgers doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of said jokes maybe he should spend more time working on his career as an NFL quarterback and less time spewing nonsense and conspiracy theories that highlight his ignorance. Just as I wouldn’t choose Jimmy Kimmel to throw touchdown passes for my team. Aaron Rodgers would be the last person I would pick in a verbal sparring of witticisms. Which is abundantly obvious after checking the game film.
Not only has Rodgers had no self-awareness regarding this back and forth, he also lacks any semblance of self-deprecation. This not only goes a long way when you’re trying to be funny but it also shows you have endearing qualities. Instead, Rodgers takes to Pat McAfee’s show(McAfee is actually a funny guy himself) to spread slanderous fabrications about Kimmel in response to the upcoming release of Jeffrey Epstein’s list of cohorts. Implying that Kimmel is a pedophile or at the very least pedo-adjacent.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe nothing is off-limits when it comes to comedy. The only requirement is that it is funny. Only the most intelligent comedians can conquer a joke of a taboo nature. The balancing act is, that if it isn’t funny, then you are just being offensive and that’s the brilliance of the greats. So Aaron Rodgers was either trying to be offensive or that was an epic failure at being edgy. Either way, it wasn’t funny and could possibly land the quarterback in legal trouble.
Stick to what you know Mr Rodgers, besides being light years behind Tom Brady when it comes to the greatest Quarterbacks of all time. Why don’t you keep the comebacks to football for now Aaron, seeing as your latest injury cost the Jets their entire season. You’ll need all the help you can, just to make it back on the field again. So do yourself a favor and leave the comedic comebacks to the pros like Kimmel. The only thing worse than a Quarterback who can’t play due to injury. Is an unfunny Jets Quarterback who can’t play due to injury because he’s too busy spreading slanderous lies.
