James Corden branded ‘tiny cretin of a man’ banned from restaurant over alleged treatment of staff
James Corden has been branded a “tiny cretin of a man” and banned from New York City restaurant Balthazar over his alleged treatment of the staff.
Keith McNally, a New York City restaurateur and owner of the restaurant, shared his decision on Instagram on Monday, where he shared a photo of the comedian and wrote: “James Corden is a hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny cretin of a man.”
He went on to call Corden “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago” and said, in true restaurant lingo, that he “86’d Corden.
McNally’s post elaborates on “two examples of the funny man’s treatment of my staff,” with the restaurant owner claiming that Corden also behaved similarly at his former restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg, a few years back.

James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.
I don't often 86 a customer, to today I 86'd Corden. It did not make me laugh.
Here are two examples of the funny man's treatment of my staff. He behaviored similarly in my former restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg, a few years back.
MANAGER'S REPORT # 1:
'In June, James Corden was here on table 61. (Although this is diabolical, it happens Very occasionally in all restaurants.) After eating his main course, Corden showed the hair to Balthazar manager G. who was very apologetic. Corden was extremely nasty to G, and said:
“Get us another round of drinks this second. And also take care of all of our drinks so far. This way I write any nasty reviews in yelp or anything like that." '
MANAGER'S REPORT # 2:
'James Corden was at Balthazar with his wife on October 9th for brunch. He asked for a table outside. Brunch Maitre D' Allie Wolters took the party to table 301. Mr. Corden's wife ordered an egg yolk omelette with gruyere cheese and salad. A few minutes after they received the food, James called their server, M. K. and told her there was a little bit of egg white mixed with the egg yolk. M. K. informed the floor manager, G. The kitchen remade the dish but unfortunately sent it with home fries instead of salad. That's when James Corden began yelling like crazy to the server: "You can't do your job! You can't do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the omelette myself!" M.K. was very apologetic and brought G. over to the table. He returned the dish, and after that, everything was fine. He gave them promo Champagne glasses to smooth things out. G. said that Corden was pleasant to him but nasty to the server.' M.K. was very shaken, but professional that she is, continued to finish her shift.'

Oops! he can't go back now....
Fiery Briton Keith McNally barred the star from Balthazar in SoHo, Manhattan, because of his treatment of servers, branding him: 'The most abusive customer since the restaurant opened 25 years ago'. In a series of extraordinary Instagram posts, Mr McNally shared two reports from his managers who accused Corden, who earns $36million-a-year as host of the Late Late Show, of being 'extremely nasty' to staff. The first incident, in June, allegedly came after the British comedian and actor found a hair in his meal. According to staff, who were 'very apologetic', the star allegedly declared: 'Get us another round of drinks this second. And also take care of all of our drinks so far. This way I write any nasty reviews in yelp or anything like that.' And Mr McNally said that nine days ago there was more trouble when he came in for brunch with his wife Julia Carey but complained about 'a little bit of egg white' in her egg yolk omelette. He then allegedly began 'yelling like crazy' when they made a new one but served it with fries instead of a salad. The Instagram post claims Corden told the server: 'You can't do your job! You can't do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the omelette myself'. The Instagram post was obviously brought to Mr Corden's attention because Keith McNally posted an update saying: 'James Corden just called me and apologized profusely'. Declaring that 'all was forgiven', he said: 'Having f**ked up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances'.

Staff at the restaurant questioned Corden's version of events during brunch service on Tuesday, telling DailyMail.com that his on-air apology last night was 'bulls**t'. There are only two omelets on the menu at the famous New York City eatery; the $25 Omelette with Herbs, and the $27, Egg-White Omelette. Both come with a side of home fries or salad. The servers explained that Corden was asking for something that is not offered, and was angry when it wasn't up to his standards. 'He wanted an omelet that had only egg yolks. Not the egg-white omelet, just egg yolks.

There was a woman with a crying baby sat next to JC and although his face suggested it was annoying him, he just put on his headphones and his eye mask and maintained this for the entire flight.
He thought at the time, fair play for him not throwing a 'celebrity fit' and not asking to be moved etc.
On landing, the woman was struggling to get her hand luggage down whilst holding the baby. It was at this point, the guy thought it was a bit of a poor show that JC didnt offer to help.
The woman then asked JC if he could hold the baby. Interesting situation he thought.
It was only then when JC took the child and the following conversation, that the guy realised that the woman was in fact JC's wife!
How true is the story, we can only speculate. But there appears to be the suggestion that the former caretaker in Hollyoaks is not adapting too well to global fame.....

Keith McNally (right) said that on a flight from New York to London a member of the BA cabin crew leaned over to him ten minutes before landing and whispered: 'I never cared for James Corden either'. But in a bizarre twist, McNally had to remove the Instagram post after he used a picture of a BA flight attendant to illustrate his post (inset) - only for the woman in the image to call him out on using a picture of her without her consent in 'his drama with Corden.' Ellie Toyn, who used to work as an air hostess for BA and had been pictured in the past for commercial use, screenshotted McNally's since deleted post and accused McNally on Instagram of 'vile and completely thoughtless behavior'. McNally swiftly apologized and deleted his Instagram post. It comes as Corden, 44, made a public apology on his Late Late Show on Monday night (left) for berating staff at McNally's New York City restaurant Balthazar.

EXCLUSIVE: The Great British Bake Off and Mighty Boosh star tweeted the allegation when a fan claimed Mr Corden 'totally stole' a joke about distracting an armed robber by whispering. On stage at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal in 2010, Mr Fielding sent the audience into hysterics when he suggested the best way to put off a thief in London is to whisper: 'Oi mate', because the 'rules' mean they will put down their blade and respond with a hushed tone: 'What is it?'. In December 2017 James Corden was interviewing Matthew Broderick, who described being robbed. Mr Corden said 'the best way to get out of being mugged' is to whisper: 'You're never going to believe what's happened'. Mimicking an attacker lowering a weapon, he said: 'Because they go like this: "What?", adding: 'And it gives you time, you just bolt'. After the Late Show aired a fan of Mr Fielding's tweeted: '@JKCorden totally stole the whisper thing from @noelfielding11'. Mr Fielding then replied: 'Yes I believe this is my material'. Last night Ricky Gervais pointed the finger at James Corden's writers after the Late Late Show host used his joke almost word-for-word on US TV amid speculation one of his team 'f**ked him over'. The Office creator also revealed he deleted a clip of his fellow Briton repeating his 2018 gag about guitar lessons because he 'started to feel sorry for him' following the backlash.

Scandal-plagued James Corden attempted to brush off the drama at the premiere for his new Prime Video series, Mammals, with his wife Julia Carey on Wednesday night in West Hollywood. The Tony Award-winner suited up for the occasion in a maroon jacket and slacks styled with a baby blue button-up. Oddly, Corden's hands looked red and raw as if he'd been biting his nails. Corden has been the center of controversy since being called out by restaurateur Keith McNally for his alleged 'abusive' conduct at McNally's celeb hotspot Balthazar in NYC.
