Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers are battling out their differences.
The New York Jets quarterback accused the late-night show host of being one of the men who traveled to the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's private island. The island is said to be where people took advantage of the underage girls that Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell trafficked. The unredacted list of people who allegedly visited the island will be released soon.

He continued, "Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court."
