New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has denied accusing late-night host Jimmy Kimmel of pedophilia, saying he is “not stupid enough” to make such a serious claim.

Rodgers had joked last week that Kimmel was concerned about the release of Jeffrey Epstein’s list, leading to Kimmel threatening to discuss the situation further in court. In an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, the same show he made the joke on, Rodgers explained that he only said Kimmel was concerned about the list’s release and in no way was accusing the late-night host of being a pedophile.
