“I’m Not Stupid Enough”: Aaron Rodgers Clears the Air on His ‘Epstein’ Remark Following Jimmy Kimmel’s 7-Min Monologue

Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Kimmel had their first banter in November 2001. COVID-19 and its vaccination were at the center of the topic. This time, they are again in the same room, addressing the controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and his list. But it seems Rodgers didn’t want to fight, as he tried to clarify the air going around.

Aaron Rodgers, in his last week’s appearance on the Pat McAfee show, called out Kimmel’s name while talking about Epstein’s list. This fumed the comedian, and he shared a tweet ‘threatening’ the quarterback to drag him into the courtroom. Since then, many people, including Stephen A. Smith, have asked Rodgers to apologize to Kimmel.

However, Jimmy Kimmel, in his further statements, called A-Rod “arrogant” and said that he knows he won’t apologize and that he isn’t expecting an apology from him either. He further shared a 7-minute monologue on his and Rodgers’ controversy, but the QB is back with his clarification for Kimmel to hear.

Aaron Rodgers clarified what he said!

Aaron Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee Show once again to address his ongoing feud with Jimmy Kimmel. Rodgers began by recalling their history, dating back to jokes Kimmel made about his immunization during the COVID-19 pandemic. He expressed disagreement with Kimmel’s statement about unvaccinated individuals not deserving treatment. Despite Kimmel’s remarks, the QB clarified that he wasn’t offended by differing opinions as he understood Kimmel was a comedian.

The discussion shifted to the current feud, with Rodgers referencing his statement made about Kimmel in the last episode of the show. He said, “I was referring to the fact that if there is a list, which again hasn’t come out yet, this was just a deposition. I totally understand how serious allegations of pedophilia would be. So for him to be upset about that, I get it. I’m not stupid enough. Even though you think I’m an idiot and you made a lot of comments about my intelligence, but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence. That’s ridiculous.”

Aaron Rodgers clearly stated that he wasn’t referring to Kimmel being one of the people on the list, and his statements have been misunderstood. This statement of the 40-year-old quarterback came after Kimmel’s show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” roasted Rodgers for his “baseless” suggestion.

On Monday, comedian Jimmy Kimmel responded to Aaron Rodgers’ recent comments, where Rodgers mentioned a “list” of Jeffrey Epstein associates. Kimmel called the New York Jets QB a “hamster brain man” who forms opinions through YouTube research and podcasts. A-Rod had suggested in the Pat McAfee show that Jimmy Kimmel, among others, might be concerned about the release of such a list. However, Kimmel’s name was not mentioned in the unsealed records related to Epstein’s 2015 civil case.

Kimmel threatened legal action in response to Rodgers’ comments, emphasizing the seriousness of accusing someone in such a serious matter. Kimmel also critiqued Rodgers for his belief in conspiracy theories and his overestimation of his abilities, attributing it to the “Dunning-Kruger effect, a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.”

The comedian also asserted that athletes can express opinions but accused Rodgers of going too far by making false and damaging statements. And now, as Aaron Rodgers finally clarified his statements, it would be interesting to note Kimmel’s new response to them. Will he put an end to this feud or continue the ongoing fight? What do you think?
