The conflict originated when Rodgers suggested during the Pat McAfee Show that Kimmel might have connections to Epstein, who faced sex trafficking charges and died in prison in 2019.
Transcript
00:00 Jimmy Camel criticized Aaron Rodgers for suggesting that Camel might be connected to Jeffrey Epstein,
00:07 a notorious sex offender.
00:09 Camel even threatened legal action against the NFL star for his comments.
00:14 The dispute began when Rodgers hinted on the Pat McAfee show that Camel could be among
00:19 those associated with Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while facing f***ing trafficking
00:25 charges.
00:26 Rodgers said, "There's a lot of people, including Jimmy Camel, who are really hoping the list
00:33 doesn't come out.
00:34 I'll tell you what, if that list comes out, I'll definitely be popping some sort of bottle."
00:41 Reports mention that the list contains around 200 names linked to Epstein, such as his associates,
00:47 former employees, or passengers on his private jets.
00:50 Although a New York judge has kept the list private, it might become public soon.
00:56 These names have been referred to as John and Jane Durst in court documents.
01:02 Jimmy Camel strongly reacted on his social media account, stating, "Dear a**hole, for
01:08 the record, I have not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein.
01:15 Nor will you find my name on any list other than the clearly phony nonsense that soft-brained
01:21 wackos like you can't seem to distinguish from reality.
01:25 Your reckless words put my family in danger.
01:28 Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court."
01:33 It seems Rodgers' comment was a response to a joke Camel made on his show last year.
01:39 Camel mocked Rodgers for discussing the Epstein list and UFOs on the Pat McAfee show, suggesting
01:46 Rodgers was using it to divert attention from his poor performance on the field.
