NYC restauranteur Keith McNally has renewed hostilities with James Corden over the latter’s conduct at McNally’s eatery Balthazar, using Instagram to rescind his acceptance of Corden’s previous apology for making a “rude comment.” “I don’t want to over-egg the pudding, but in Friday’s London Times Corden flip-flopped and told a massive lie AGAIN,” McNally wrote on Instagram, quoting Corden: “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.” “On second viewing, I found [Corden’s] TV ‘confessional’ contrived and phony,” McNally fumed. “The actor will say anything to save his bacon. In the scheme of things, my opinion means nothing, but after Friday’s interview and a second look at his fraudulent confessional, I’ve given up on James Corden. For Good. END OF STORY.”
