Aaron Rodgers-Jimmy Kimmel Drama

By: Avneet Kaur 

Have you yet to hear the beef going on between Jimmy Kimmel and Aaron Rodgers? It all started when Rodgers, who went out on the Pat McAfee Show and randomly suggested that Kimmel should be worried that the list of Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was going to be unsealed very soon. Rodgers might have said that for some beef that occurred three years ago when Rodgers had a scandal going on for lying to the NFL about his COVID-19 vaccination records. Kimmel made a mocking joke on his live show about this scandal. On Kimmel's show, he bashed Rodgers by making claims about how Rodgers probably came after him because he mocked the scandal three years ago. McAfee apologized for the joke Rodgers made, but Rodgers himself never apologized. Jimmy Kimmel demanded an apology from Rodgers but never got one. Surprise, surprise! When the list of Jeffrey Epstein associates was released, Jimmy Kimmel's name wasn't on it. Rodgers said he was glad his name wasn't on there but still wouldn't apologize.

 Who do you think is in the wrong here? An 11th grader replied, “Of course, Rodgers is the one to blame here. He accused Kimmel wrongly and then wouldn't apologize. He must have some high ego here.” I asked 9th grader, Shristhi Singh, her opinions on this. She replied, “I believe both sides have things to be held accountable for. However now it’s time to move on, be a responsible person, and apologize for their actions. Especially on such serious matters, which Rodgers has failed to do.”

What are your opinions on this? Do you think Rogers is in the wrong here with his high ego? Or is Kimmel wrong for expressing his opinions like that in front of the whole public to hear? Could it be both of them who are equally as wrong as the other? The choice is yours to make!
