It may be time for this man to be move on.

Folks, we may never be free of this! NYC restauranteur Keith McNally has inflicted us with another blurry photo of James Corden, which can only mean one thing: he’s got beef once again!

In case you missed it, McNally stirred up some commotion a couple of weeks ago when he declared on Instagram that he was banning Corden from his restaurant after he apparently was a obnoxious twat to a number of the staff members at the upscale NYC restaurant Balthazar.

After McNally’s incredibly riled up Instagram caption made international headlines in outlets that even included The New York Times, Corden took to the Late Late Show to apologise for his behaviour, after which McNally took to Instagram to revoke his ban.

“Last night on his TV show, James Corden very graciously apologised for his outburst at Balthazar,” McNally wrote alongside another cursed James Corden photo that appeared to be taken with a potato. “It takes a real man to do this. In the past, I’ve behaved much worse than Corden, but wasn’t man enough to apologise.” McNally then declared that he would lift the ban on Corden.

But alas! Yet another low-quality photo of James Corden has now entered the fray, and McNally has more to say. McNally seemingly responded to Corden’s interview with The Times where he denied shouting at Balthazar’s staff at all.

“It’s been the most surreal moment. I mean, it’s so odd. I never screamed at anyone, I didn’t shout, didn’t call anyone a name or swear or use derogatory language… How is it remotely a thing?

McNally, who is 71, replied thus: “LAST POST ON THIS NON-STORY: I don’t want to over-egg the pudding, but in Friday’s London Times Corden flip-flopped and told a massive lie AGAIN …. On second viewing, I found his TV “confessional” contrived and phony. The actor will say anything to save his bacon. 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.”

It’s unclear whether McNally having “given up on James Corden” implies that he’s been re-banned from Balthazar, which for some reason is something we’ve become deeply invested in, but we’re hoping that McNally will clarify the situation post-haste — hopefully with another cursed image of Corden in tow.
