James Corden accused of being "abusive" toward Balthazar restaurant staff in New York City
CBSN
James Corden, host of CBS' "The Late Late Show," was briefly banned from a popular New York City restaurant on Monday after the owner accused him of being "abusive" to his staff over order errors. Corden's ban was lifted after he called to apologize, the restaurateur said.
"James Corden is a hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny cretin of a man," Keith McNally, the owner of French restaurant Balthazar, wrote on Instagram. "And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago."
CBS News has reached out to Corden's team for comment.
