Restaurant boss reignites feud with 'sickening' James Corden - and drags Adele into it

A restaurant boss who accused James Corden of being rude to his staff has appeared to reignite his feud with the Late, Late Show host.

Balthazar restaurant owner Keith McNally took to Instagram to again blast the actor and TV presenter.

For the last ever Carpool Karaoke, James invited his good pal Adele for a chat and a singalong in his car.

But restauranteur Keith was not impressed, branding it the ‘biggest pile of HORSE S*** I’ve seen in 40 years’.

He wrote: “Despite finding them slightly cringe-inducing, I’ve always loved James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Last week was Corden’s final carpool and his most cringe-inducing.”

Keith also teared into I Drink Wine singer Adele as he said: “His guest was his ‘great’ friend Adele, whose make-up was so hideously overdone and fingernails so long she resembled a particularly scary Cruella de Vil.

“Corden and Adele are brilliant performers, but like many brilliant performers they’re profoundly inauthentic.

“Never more so than when they’re being ‘honest’ about themselves – as inauthentic people tend to do ALL THE F***ING TIME.

“As this carpool was part of Corden’s last Late Night Show both him and Adele Went To Town being ‘honest’ about themselves.”

Branding the segment ‘sickening’, Keith continued: “At one point Adele theatrically broke down on camera. It was Complete, F***ing SCHLOCK.

“And of course James Corden – The King of Insincerity Himself – went along with it. It was the biggest pile of HORSE S*** I’ve seen in 40 years.”

Fans of Corden and Adele were not happy with the rant with one saying: “Keep Adele’s name out of your mouth.”

Another commented: “I just see another bored old man trying with his life to drag others down.”

While a third said: “U seem obsessed with him after his most recent visit to your restaurant. You nailed him good for that, and probably well deserved, but why keep dragging?”

Gavin and Stacey star James was banned from Keith’s New York restaurant Balthazar after allegedly being ‘extremely nasty’ to waiting staff.

Writing on social media at the time, Keith called James a ‘gifted comedian’ but a ‘cretin of a man’.

He claimed the actor had ‘yelled like crazy’ at a waiter after a mix up with his wife’s omelette order leaving the server ‘shaken’.

Keith also claimed James had ‘demanded’ a free round of drinks after allegedly finding a hair in his food.

Corden’s ban was later lifted after he ‘apologised profusely’ for his behaviour following a public backlash.

Despite appearing to put the feud behind them, it seems Keith isn’t quite over it if his latest social media post is anything to go by.
