It’s never too late to say I’m sorry, right? A New York restaurant has lifted its ban on James Corden after the actor and comedian reportedly apologized for allegedly being rude to staff. Corden was briefly barred from Balthazar in Manhattan on Monday by manager Keith McNally who alleged The Late Late Show host had been “extremely nasty” to his staff on two separate occasions. Here’s what you need to know.
McNally rescinded the ban a day later after claiming to have received a call from the star. He wrote on Instagram: “James Corden just called me and apologized profusely. Having f***** up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances. So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I’ll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar.”
James Corden Is No Longer Banned From NYC Eatery After Apologizing Profusely For His Behavior
He continued, “No, of course not. But… anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be banned from anywhere. Especially Balthazar. So Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Corden, Jimmy Corden. All is Forgiven.”
In an earlier post, McNally said he had “86’d” Mr Corden for his alleged behavior – a colloquial term which typically means to stop serving a person, or to kick them out of an establishment. But that ban had only lasted a mere 24 hours.
He went on to describe the Gavin and Stacey star as “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago” in an Instagram post. He is said to have extended his contract with CBS to present the show for one more year before finishing in the summer of 2023. So far Corden himself has not made any comments about the matter but hopefully he will, right?
