James Corden branded ‘tiny cretin of a man’ and banned from NYC restaurant over alleged treatment of staff

James Corden has been branded a “tiny cretin of a man” and banned from New York City restaurant Balthazar over his alleged treatment of the staff.

Keith McNally, a New York City restaurateur and owner of the restaurant, shared his decision on Instagram on Monday, where he shared a photo of the comedian and wrote: “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.

“I don’t often 86 a customer, [but] today I 86’d Corden. It did not make me laugh.”

McNally then went on to share “two examples of the funny man’s treatment of my staff,” with the restaurant owner claiming that Corden also behaved similarly at his former restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg, a few years back.

In the first example, which McNally said took place in June, the comedian reportedly ate his main course before pointing out a hair to Balthazar’s manager. According to McNally, despite the manager responding “very apologetically,” Corden allegedly threatened to leave a negative review if his drinks were not comped by the restaurant.
