When a well-known, long-time restaurateur calls you \u201cthe most abusive customer<\/span>\u201d to ever patronize an establishment in its 25 years, it might do you some good to grovel, or even spare a crumb of remorse. But it seems late-night jester James Corden feels as though the whole conversation about his table manners is just a little<\/em> below him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven’t done anything wrong, on any level,\u201d he tells The New York Times<\/em><\/span>. \u201cSo why would I ever cancel this? I was there. I get it. I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it’s so silly. I just think it’s beneath all of us. It’s beneath you.\u201d<\/p>\n

It seems Corden’s opted to take the high road\u2014sorry\u2014the high and mighty<\/em> road, to cast his eyes down upon people who think treating service workers like shit is detestable. He’d instead rather put on the hater blockers, deny deny deny, and talk about his new series \u201cMammals,\u201d in which he plays a Michelin star chef, which can only be characterized as laughable after all *widely gestures* this.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s strange. It’s strange when you were there,\u201d Corden says on the subject. \u201cI think I’m probably going to have to talk about it on Monday’s show. My feeling, often, is, never explain, never complain. But I’ll probably have to talk about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He doesn’t seem to internalize this personal mantra of \u201cnever complain\u201d too much, as indicative of his reported behavior at Balthazar, but certainly feels compelled to \u201cnever explain,\u201d especially when it comes to what the hell an egg yolk omelet is .<\/p>\n

G\/O Media may get a commission<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Corden then takes a strange moment to remind everyone that Twitter is not necessarily reflective of the real world, and in this augmented reality, \u201cHillary Clinton is the president of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShould we not all be a little grown-up about this?\u201d he says. \u201cI promise you, ask around this restaurant. They don’t know about this. Maybe 15 percent of people. I’ve been here, been walking around New York, not one person’s come up to me. We’re dealing in two worlds here.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response<\/span>Balthazar’s owner Keith McNally says this:<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve no wish to kick a man when he’s down. Especially one who’s worth $100 Million, but when James Corden said in yesterday’s NY Times that he hadn’t done \u201canything wrong, on any level,\u201d was he joking? Or was he denying being abused to my servers? Whatever Corden meant, his implication was clear: he did n’t do it. Although I didn’t witness the incident, lots of my restaurant’s floor staff did. They had nothing to gain by lying. Corden did.<\/p>\n

I wish James Corden would live up to his Almighty initials and come clean. If the supremely talented actor wants to retrieve the respect he had from all his fans (all 4 of them) before this incident, then he should at least admit he did wrong. If he goes one step further and apologizes to the 2 servers he insulted, I’ll let him eat for free at Balthazar for the next 10 years.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Your move Corden. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
