Jimmy Kimmel has found a prominent supporter in his dispute with football player Aaron Rodgers, who falsely claimed that Kimmel would be on Jeffrey Epstein’s client list.
Howard Stern criticized the New York Jets quarterback and four-time MVP for making such a baseless claim. Stern expressed his outrage on his show, stating, “What the f— is with Aaron Rodgers? I mean, what a f—ing vicious thing to say.”
Stern attributed Rodgers’ actions to a lack of wit in a feud, resorting to fabricating false claims. He expressed his strong disapproval of making up conspiracy theories about someone in a public forum, particularly accusing Kimmel of being a pedophile.

Rodgers, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, had insinuated that Jimmy Kimmel might be on Jeffrey Epstein’s client list. ESPN, the network airing McAfee’s show, issued an apology for Rodgers’ “dumb and factually inaccurate joke.” McAfee also apologized for being part of the ensuing drama.
However, Rodgers did not offer apologies to Kimmel and stood by his comments. While stating that he was glad Kimmel was not on the list, he maintained that he had no apologies for the ABC host.
In response, Kimmel expressed his belief that he was slandered by Rodgers’ unfounded accusation and threatened legal action. Despite demanding an apology, Kimmel did not anticipate receiving one.
