A recently resurfaced video has revealed the association between late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and Jeffrey Epstein.
This revelation follows Kimmel’s social media outburst against NFL icon Aaron Rodgers.
In a recent interview, Rodgers hinted that Kimmel’s name could potentially be included in Epstein’s “client list.”
On Tuesday, the quarterback for the New York Jets insinuated that the comedian might be among the individuals connected to Epstein’s case, a portion of which was made public on Wednesday.
“There’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out,” Rodgers said on a podcast with ESPN’s Pat McAfee.
“I’ll tell you what, if that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle,” he said.
In a statement shared on X, Kimmel retaliated by issuing a warning of legal action against Rodgers.
“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 Tuesday evening.
“Your reckless words put my family in danger.
“Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”
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. Your reckless… https://t.co/p8eug12uiS

Nonetheless, there is evidence linking Kimmel to Epstein.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Chef Adam Perry Lang, a close associate of Kimmel, served as Epstein’s personal chef for an extended period.
A video featuring Lang and Kimmel discussing their friendship on the popular show “Extra” has gained significant attention on social media platforms.

The defamation lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell in 2015 included a list of names, which has now been settled. However, the documents related to the case remained sealed until recently.
Despite Lang not facing any charges, Giuffre has claimed that he is aware of what occurred. In a 2020 interview on the podcast “Broken: Seeking Justice,” Giuffre expressed her disappointment that Lang never made public everything he knew, as reported by the New York Post.
According to Giuffre, she attempted to contact Lang at a Hollywood restaurant that he operates, with Kimmel being one of the backers. She described it as “heartbreaking” that Kimmel’s friend has not come forward with his knowledge about the “most prolific sex trafficking ring of modern times.”
“He’s gone now, he can’t hurt us anymore,” she wrote to Lang, asking him to “elevate yourself to the status of a hero.”
“You could help put together some of the missing pieces of my broken life,” Giuffre said.
“Adam, don’t be an enabler, be a hero.”
She said, “Everybody who went into Jeffrey’s house knew what was going on.”
“You couldn’t be [even] a pizza delivery boy and walk in Epstein’s houses and not know what was going on,” Giuffre said of “naked pictures everywhere, young girls everywhere.”
“Old dude, not married … it’s not hard to put 2 and 2 together,” she said.
