Corden believes the incident was blown out of proportion.

Recently, actor James Corden made waves on Twitter when the owner of the famous Balthazar restaurant in New York announced that Corden was no longer welcome on their premises. Keith McNally, owner of the restaurant, banned Corden, claiming he was “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.”

Following this, McNally announced that he had received an apology from Corden, and was willing to rescind the ban. “James Corden just called me and apologized profusely,” McNally wrote on Instagram Monday. “Having f—ed up myself more than most people, I strongly believe in second chances.”

“So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months, I’ll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar.”

As for Corden, in an interview with the New York Times, he said that the event had been blown wildly out of proportion. “I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level,” he said.

“I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it’s so silly,” Corden said. “I just think it’s beneath all of us. It’s beneath you. It’s certainly beneath your publication.”

Corden noted that there was another customer in the restaurant while he was there who was similarly upset with her server. “Happens every day,” Corden said. “It’s happening in 55,000 restaurants as we speak. It’s always about eggs.”

“Can you imagine now, if we just blasted her on Twitter? Would that be fair?,” he added. “This is my point. It’s insane.”
