Jimmy Kimmel’s Name In Epstein Court Documents Is Fake: Report

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel has been making the headlines recently. The American talk show host threatened to take legal action against American footballer Aaron Rodgers who alleged that Kimmel was associated with the Jeffrey Epstein list. Epstein was a US financial analyst who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for his sex crimes. Rodgers alleged that Kimmel used to trade jabs on X (formerly Twitter) which was vehemently denied by Kimmel. Now, in the latest turn of events, it was proved that Kimmel had no links with the Epstein list as charged by Rodgers, suggesting that it was after all a rumour.

After Aaron Rodgers conjectured about the Epstein list, a widely shared Facebook post asserting Jimmy Kimmel’s participation turned out to be untrue. A Facebook post has gone viral featuring text that appears to be a transcript of a series of questions and answers between two anonymous people regarding their encounter and subsequent sexual relations with Kimmel. In one corner of the picture, the page number 1,375 is visible. Upon reviewing the 943 pages of court records from the Southern District of New York that were released to the public on January 3, 2024, neither Kimmel’s name nor the discussion was found.

The Guardian newspaper, which made the entire set of the transcript pages available online, thoroughly reexamined and reviewed the material, but could find no mention of page 1375. Furthermore, the transcript formats in the real papers are different from the format seen in the viral image, indicating that the image is not real and fabricated to paint Jimmy Kimmel in the wrong light.

At the Pat McAfee Show, Aaron Rogers claimed that a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel were hoping that the Eipstein list does not come out in public. “If that list comes out, I definitely will be popping some sort of bottle,” he had said back then.

Reacting to Aaron Rogers’ allegations, Jimmy Kimmel wrote on X, “For the record, I’ve not met, flown with, visited, or had any contact whatsoever with Epstein, nor will you find my name on any “list” other than the clearly-phony nonsense that soft-brained wackos like yourself can’t seem to distinguish from reality. Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court.”

For years, fabricated lists and altered images of Epstein have been circulating in conspiratorial online communities, stoking rumours about the financier’s possible partners.
