“Continue and we will discuss the facts in court. » Comedian Jimmy Kimmel responded Wednesday to an American football player, who had suggested that the name of the host of a popular late night show in the United States, appeared in documents linked to the Epstein affair.
Aaron Rodgers, former quarterback of the Green Bay Packers (2005-2022), jokes about the documents linked to the Epstein affair, in a podcast broadcast before an American judge declassified them on Wednesday evening. He suggests that the name of the facilitator could appear in the documents.
The excerpt from the podcast was taken up and widely commented on on X, where Jimmy Kimmel reacted, denying that his name was going to appear in the documents. “Dear Aabruti [nous avons choisi de garder le jeu de mots original] : For the record, I never met Epstein, flew with him, visited him, or had any contact with him, and you won’t find my name on any “list” other than the clearly bogus nonsense that soft-brained weirdos like you fail to distinguish from reality, reacted the host, in response to Aaron Rogers’ insinuations. Your careless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will argue the facts in court. »
Despite the denial provided by Jimmy Kimmel and the publication of the declassified documents on Wednesday evening, Internet users again attacked the American host. X users published a false document suggesting that it was part of the declassified documents. The document suggests that a victim testified that she had sexual relations with the actor after giving him a massage. Two of the tweets containing the fake message were viewed more than a million times in less than 24 hours.
This time, the host did not provide a public denial. A search of the documents – what 20 minutes hosted here – allows us to see, however, that this supposed testimony does not appear there.
In these thousand pages made public by Judge Loretta Preska, appear the names of two former American presidents, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump, without any reprehensible behavior being accused of them. Prince Andrew, brother of King Charles III, also appears there. Virginia Giuffre claims she was forced to have sex with him three times, which Queen Elizabeth II’s son denies.
These documents were published as part of the defamation complaint which was filed in 2016 by Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, against Ghislaine Maxwell, the former partner of the financier who was sentenced in 2022 to twenty years in prison.
Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in 2019 in his cell while he was to be tried for sexual assault on minors. This businessman, who maintained relationships with personalities, had already been convicted in 2008 after being accused of inciting the prostitution of minors.
