James Corden has been banned from a New York restaurant due to his alleged “abusive” behaviour of staff.
The manager of Balthazar said Corden was a “hugely gifted comedian” but a “tiny cretin of a man” as he shared details of the alleged incidents online.
Keith McNally posted parts of a manager’s report on Instagram, accusing Corden of being “extremely nasty” to his staff on two separate occasions.
“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,” Mr McNally wrote.
“I don’t often 86 a customer. today I 86’d Corden. It did not make me laugh.”
Eighty-six-ing a customer is a colloquial term which typically means to stop serving a person, or to kick them out of an establishment.
