NOTHING WRONG?! Restaurant Owner Keith McNally Fumes At 'Lying' James Corden!

perezhilton.com:

Aaaaaand re-banned. The James Corden restaurant saga continues. The Late Late Show host could have shown grace and good character here with a proper apology — but then again if that’s who he was, he wouldn’t be in this position in the first place, right?

As you probably heard, the comedian’s week started off with a ban from NYC hotspot Balthazar. The restaurant’s owner, Keith McNally, came out swinging on Monday morning, publicly declaring Corden was banned for being “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.” He went on to describe two separate incidents at the restaurant in which he was nasty to servers and management — and even noted that this behavior had been observed at his previous restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg, years previous.

McNally added that “anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be banned from anywhere.” However, the talk show host quickly 86’ed all that good will and served a side of smugness.

Proving whatever apology he fed Keith was just blowing smoke, he told the New York Times in an interview that he thought the idea he was being criticized on Twitter for nothing more than sending back some food was “insane.” Just totally downplaying any description of his “extremely nasty” behavior, the fact he wasn’t just being accused of returning food but of yelling at staff.
