Following his omelet-gate and plagiarism controversies, it appears that James Corden’s string of bad days continues. Spice Girl Mel B has now called out James Corden for being the “biggest celebrity d*ckhead”. While she also includes herself and her fellow Spice Girls singer, Geri Halliwell, in the category, her explanation about Corden’s behavior puts him in more trouble.
From what Mel B has disclosed, Corden may have mistreated his staff during his tenure on his talk show, The Late Late Show. In April 2023, Corden turned down a hefty paycheck to renew his contract with the show, citing that he wished to spend more time with his family in the U.K.
Mel B Calls Out James Corden’s Questionable Behavior Off Camera
Mel B shocked the audience of The Big Narstie Show when she revealed some of the “biggest celebrity d*ckheads” she had met. Appearing on the show hosted by Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan, she faced the option of answering some difficult questions or drinking a spicy shot. The Spice Girl was never the one to hold her tongue back, and she chose to answer.
She named James Corden, Geri Halliwell, Jessie J, and herself as the “biggest celebrity d*ckheads”. The mention of Geri Halliwell, one of the Spice Girls, caught the attention of hosts and viewers alike. When Gilligan inquired further, Mel B responded that she loved Halliwell but found her “really f**king annoying.”
However, Big Narstie was curious about her choice to single out Corden. Mel B, who has been on The Late Late Show twice, addressed the rumors about how he treats his show’s staff. She reasoned that one should always be nice to the people they work with regardless of their role and shared that Corden hadn’t been very nice in her experience. Mel B explained on The Big Narstie Show:
“I think you always have to be nice to the people that you work with whether it be production, camera guys, sound, lighting … we all work for the same thing, so you should always be nice and he hasn’t been very nice.”
Corden gained recognition as a writer for the critically acclaimed BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey. He hosted his late-night talk show on CBS from 2015 to 2023.
James Corden Has Been Neck Deep in Controversies
In October 2022, James Corden came under fire for yelling at the staff of a New York restaurant. Apparently, his wife was served an egg omelet with a streak of egg white in it and Corden sent it back. When the returning dish got a side order wrong, he lost his temper. The owner of Balthazar restaurant, Keith McNally, wrote on Instagram that Corden had been “abusive” to his staff and was banned from his restaurant.
Corden went on his show to publicly apologize for the incident, which McNally accepted, and the ban was lifted. But in an interview with the London Times, he denied any wrongdoing, prompting the restaurateur to put the ban back on him. Corden’s behavior was described as “very Hollywood”, but troubles began to mount after plagiarism allegations were brought against him.
He was accused of copying Ricky Gervais’ jokes on his show, but Corden responded that it was never intentional. Fans of the host look forward to seeing how he responds to this latest accusation from Mel B.
