Keith McNally Urges James Corden To Apologize to Staff After Denying Controversial Claims

New York's famed restaurateur Keith McNally has this proposition for comedian, James Corden.

James Corden has been the subject of numerous controversial headlines as celebrity restaurateur, Keith McNally, banned the comedian from the "Balthazar" after recalling him being an "abusive customer" in a past Instagram post. McNally declared the ban on him for being the "most abusive customer" ever in his years in the restaurant scene.

Following a recent development, McNally retracted the ban after James Corden had called him to "apologize profusely" just hours after the Instagram call out. Keith posted an update on the issue in a recent Instagram post where he announced he forgave James Corden and invited him back to dine in.

James Corden Denies Allegations After Apology?

Recently, however, the "The Late Late Show with James Corden" star became defensive when asked in an interview with the New York Times regarding the incident. Corden went on to justify his behavior as normal, despite initially apologizing to "Balthazar" owner Keith McNally.

"I haven't done anything wrong, on any level. So why would I ever cancel this [interview]? 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. It's certainly beneath your publication." James shared in his interview with the New York-based media company.

Keith McNally Demands Apology from Corden with a Proposition

Following James Corden's comment to the New York Times, Keith McNally took to Instagram to share his disapproval at the actor's reaction as he implied that he had not done anything wrong.

"Although I didn't witness the incident, lots of my restaurant's floor staff did. They had nothing to gain by lying. Corden did." Keith McNally wrote in his Instagram post. "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."

Additionally, McNally went one step further to get an apology out of James Corden by offering him the privilege of eating at Balthazar's for the next 10 years if the comedian apologizes to the two servers he had insulted. As of now, no representatives from James Corden has given any comment on McNally's response.
