Motormouth restaurateur Keith McNally has criticized his old foe James Corden’s latest carpool karaoke and blasted superstar Adele’s “inauthentic” performance.
The New York restaurateur labeled Corden the “King of Insincerity” before taunting the Hello singer as a “particularly creepy Cruella de Vil.”
Corden, 44, released the emotional video on Monday in which the couple shared how The Late Late Show host had helped the Grammy winner, 34, through her breakup with Simon Konecki.
Both seemed to hold back tears when she revealed that a verse in her song I Drink Wine was inspired by Corden.
But McNally, the London-born owner of the celebrity hotspot in Soho, branded the pair’s behavior fake, saying: “Last week was Corden’s last carpool and his most cringe-inducing.
He dismissed James Corden’s latest carpool karaoke with superstar Adele as the “biggest pile of horse shit”

‘His guest was his ‘big’ friend Adele whose make-up was so hideously exaggerated and fingernails so long she looked like a particularly creepy Cruella de Vil.
Corden and Adele are brilliant artists, but like many brilliant artists, they are deeply inauthentic.
“Never more than when they are “honest” about themselves – as inauthentic people tend to do ALL THE F***ING TIME.
Since this carpool was part of Corden’s last Late Night Show, both he and Adele Went to Town were “honest” about themselves.
“It was sickening. At one point, Adele broke down theatrically on camera. It was complete, F***ing SCHLOCK.
And of course James Corden – The King of Insincerity Himself – went along with that. It was the biggest pile of HORSE SH*T I’ve seen in 40 years.”
He initially said he had “always loved” the carpool karaoke, but then he began his scathing attack on the singer – full name Adele Adkins – performing on the latter.
Adele finalized her divorce from Simon in March 2021, two years after announcing their split, revealing that she went on holiday with James, his wife Julia Carey, their three children and her son Angelo, 10.
She’s lost a significant amount of weight since first becoming a star in 2008, with Adele’s changing facial features also prompting claims that she may have had cosmetic surgery.

She burst into tears as she discussed her divorce from Simon Konecki while filming the final Carpool Karaoke with James Corden in an emotional video released Monday.
She burst into tears and said: We were on our way home and my mood had changed and it was like the first year I felt like I had to hold myself accountable because I was just an adult, whereas the year before I was Simon left, you and Jules and the kids were so important to take care of me and Angelo.”
It is not the first time that the restaurateur, who also owns Minetta Tavern and Morandi, has run afoul of Corden.
He banned the star from his restaurant after Corden and his wife Julia had dinner at the restaurant with friends. Julia asked for an all-yolk omelet – something not on the extensive brunch menu.
When it arrived the dish contained some protein. Corden sent it back to the kitchen and when it came back he said it was still “wrong.”
McNally first shamed Corden on Instagram, telling his followers how the comedian had twice abused staff.
He said, “James Corden started yelling at the server like crazy, ‘You can’t do your job! You can’t do your job! Maybe I should go to the kitchen and make the omelette myself!’
Corden addressed the controversy on his show and apologized, leading McNally to forgive the strip and undo it.

McNally famously started a feud with fellow Briton James Corden after the talk show host threw a tantrum when egg whites were spotted in his wife’s egg yolk omelette

But McNally then attacked him a second time, in response to text messages Corden sent to a journalist stating that he had “never yelled at anyone”
In an Instagram post, McNally said, “LAST POST ON THIS NON-STORY:
I don’t want to exaggerate the pudding, but in Friday’s London Times, Corden flip-flopped and told AGAIN a huge lie:
“I never yelled at anyone, I didn’t shout, cursed or cursed or used disparaging language… How is it anything? When the person who posted the story wasn’t even there.”
‘On the second viewing, I found his TV ‘confession’ contrived and fake. The actor will say anything to save his bacon.
“In general, my opinion means nothing, but after Friday’s interview and a second look at his fraudulent confessional box, I’ve given up on James Corden. For good.
‘END OF STORY.’

He didn’t clarify whether Corden was formally banned again, but the post suggests it’s unlikely he’ll ever return to the restaurant.
In a stream of text messages, Corden said the incident and the backlash from it was “the most surreal moment,” adding that McNally was not present when his wife Julia got the wrong order.
“I mean, it’s so strange,” he writes. “I never yelled at anyone, I didn’t shout, cursed or cursed or used derogatory language…how is it anything? And that’s okay?
“And now it’s a fact, and that’s that. When the person posting the story wasn’t even there. Just so strange.’
He added, “I’ve never talked so much about eggs.”
There are only two omelets on the menu at Balthazar; the $25 herb omelette and the $27 egg white omelette. Both come with a side of house fries or salad.
Servers explained to DailyMail.com that Corden asked for something that wasn’t offered and was angry when it didn’t meet his standards.
