James Corden Restaurant Feud Resurrected by Balthazar Owner on Halloween

Keith McNally, the owner of New York City's Balthazar restaurant, has once again hit out at talk show host James Corden.

On Monday, McNally wrote in a social media post that Corden recently "flip-flopped and told a massive lie AGAIN."

Corden was banned from Balthazar in mid-October after McNally claimed the British comedian berated his employees on multiple occasions. McNally quickly overturned the ban after he said Corden apologized to him. Since that time, Corden has addressed the controversy—which led to other past allegations of The Late Late Show being rude to people resurfacing—in interviews and on-air.

The public feud had seemingly played out until Halloween when McNally once again went after Corden on Instagram.

"LAST POST ON THIS NON-STORY," McNally wrote. "I don't want to over-egg the pudding, but in Friday's London Times Corden flip-flopped and told a massive lie AGAIN."

McNally then went on to quote Corden from the Times interview, in which Corden claimed he "never screamed at anyone" and "didn't call anyone a name or swear or use derogatory language." Corden also told the publication he didn't understand how the Balthazar owner's claim ever became such a talked-about story in the media.

"On second viewing, I found his TV 'confessional' contrived and phony. The actor will say anything to save his bacon," McNally wrote.

He continued, "In the scheme of things my opinion means nothing, but after Friday's interview and a second look at his fraudulent confessional, I've given up on James Corden. For Good. END OF STORY."

The comments thread on McNally's post indicated his followers are enjoying the fresh drama.

"My favorite fall miniseries," read one message.

"I mean, the way he's behaved since you called him out pretty much proves the kind of personality that would give rise to that behavior in the first place," another comment said.

During the initial fallout after McNally made his first accusations, Corden said he had complained to staff at Balthazar because his wife, Julia Carey, had received egg whites in her omelet after ordering it be made with only yolks. When Corden discussed the matter on his show, he said his wife suffered a food allergy to the food she was served.

"In the heat of the moment, I made a sarcastic rude comment about cooking it myself," Corden said during his on-air explanation. "It is a comment I deeply regret. I understand the difficulties of being a server. I worked shifts at restaurants for years, and I have such respect and I value anyone who does such a job. And the team at that restaurant are so great. That's why I love it there."

Newsweek reached out to Corden and McNally for comment.
