James Corden has responded to Lily Allen’s recent comments about him on a podcast. Allen referred to Corden as her “famous beg friend” and mentioned that he had flirted with her on her chat show. She also shared that Corden suggested in his memoir that she was leading him on, which she denied.
Corden reportedly finds Allen’s remarks “tacky” and believes she is being unfair. A source close to Corden mentioned that he is used to receiving criticism and is unfazed by negative comments. Corden feels that he is misunderstood and hopes that people will see him in a different light in the future.
In addition to Allen’s comments, Corden has faced backlash from others in the past. Mel B called him the “rudest celebrity” she’s ever met, and Sharon Osbourne complained about him on Celebrity Big Brother. Restaurant owner Keith McNally also criticized Corden, calling him “a tiny cretin of a man” for his behavior at McNally’s restaurant in New York.
Despite the criticism, Corden has tried to make amends for any mistakes he may have made. After being banned from McNally’s restaurant, Corden apologized on his show, and the ban was lifted. Corden admitted to making a rude comment and expressed regret for his actions.
Overall, Corden seems to be taking the criticism in stride and hopes to improve his reputation in the future. While he acknowledges that he may have made mistakes in the past, he is committed to making amends and showing a different side of himself to the public.
