Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has stood by his debunked conspiracy theory insinuating late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's potential involvement with Jeffrey Epstein's associates. During an appearance on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers doubled down on his previous remarks and opted not to apologize to Kimmel for his comments.

In the interview with McAfee, Rodgers clarified his statement, saying, "I was referring to the fact that if there is a list - which again, this hasn't come out yet, this was just a deposition - and there are names on it, then that would be the second time that [Kimmel] would be right twice." He asserted that his intention was not to accuse Kimmel without concrete evidence.

Pat McAfee seemed to be supportive of Rodgers' stance, describing Kimmel's response as a "diatribe" during his seven-minute monologue on Monday night. However, Rodgers acknowledged the seriousness of the allegation of pedophilia and expressed understanding of Kimmel's upset.

Despite wanting to put the issue behind him and move forward, Rodgers voiced his belief that the media was trying to "cancel" him. He suggested that such tactics were not only targeted at him but were a common approach utilized by the media.

Kimmel, on his late-night show, dismissed Rodgers' allegations as baseless and made it clear that his name was not on the Epstein list and never would be. Kimmel openly challenged Rodgers to bring forward any evidence he had to support these claims.

During his monologue, Kimmel referenced Rodgers' previous claims about UFO sightings being used to distract from the Epstein list, calling it a "whacko idea." He also emphasized the importance of truth and stated that when he makes mistakes, he takes responsibility and apologizes.

Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in jail in 2019, was accused of running a sex trafficking ring involving underage girls. The case remains a topic of interest and speculation.

Representatives for both Kimmel and Rodgers have been contacted for further comment, according to CNN. Pat McAfee has previously apologized for Rodgers' statements on his show.

As the controversy surrounding Aaron Rodgers' conspiracy theory continues, it remains to be seen if an apology or resolution will be reached between the NFL star and Jimmy Kimmel.
