After being urged by Keith McNally this week, James Corden has been allowed to return to Balthazar in New York City. McNally claims that Corden is now allowed to host late-night shows. “profusely apologized”We are grateful for his actions.
McNally called Corden a sham on Monday via Instagram. “a tiny Cretin of a man” “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.”The post was used by the restauranteur to list two occasions that prompted the decision to “86”Corden said that Corden had behaved similarly at Cafe Luxembourg in the past, years before the incident in the post.
McNally posted an update on Monday night. He said Corden had admitted to his actions, asked for forgiveness, as well as that the ban against Corden was lifted.
“James Corden just called me and apologized profusely. Having f—ed up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances,”McNally wrote. “So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I’ll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar.”
McNally stated that he was just joking about that particular clause, but not about the ban on rescinding it.
“Anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be banned from anywhere. Especially Balthazar,”He added.
