James Corden has once again fallen into the bad books of the Balthazar restaurant owner who has now branded the comedian ‘phoney’.
The Late Late Show host was initially banned from the New York City eatery earlier this month after being rude to a member of staff over a wrong food order.
Keith McNally, who owns the restaurant, then lifted the ban after receiving a private apology from Corden personally.
As the scandal mounted, Corden, 44, addressed the incident on his talk show and explained that he didn’t realise he was being rude in the moment.
He later denied claims that he screamed or shouted at staff, saying: ‘I never screamed at anyone, I didn’t shout, didn’t call anyone a name or swear or use derogatory language… How is it remotely a thing? When that person who posted the story wasn’t even there.’
