James Corden Also Had a Meltdown at a Popular LA Italian Restaurant, According to ‘Try Guys’ Spouse

It’s been quite a week for English comedian, occasional singing waiter, and the Late Late Show host James Corden. Earlier this week, Corden found himself banned from New York restaurant Balthazar for exhibiting what owner Keith McNally described as mistreatment of staff. Though McNally rescinded the ban on Instagram a day later — and today recommended a wholehearted apology to Balthazar waitstaff — an alleged similar incident has surfaced involving Corden and an employee at Little Dom’s in Los Feliz.

She didn’t reveal a timeline, but make-up artist and podcaster Becky Habersberger — who is also married to Try Guys cast member Keith Habersberger — shared a story via TikTok about how Corden yelled at a Little Dom’s staff member.

Habersberger recounted that she was walking in Los Feliz and noticed Corden at Little Dom’s. “As I’m approaching, I hear James Corden yelling at this busboy,” Habersberger says in the TikTok video. “I overhear the busboy telling James Corden that Little Dom’s is closed right now...between lunch and dinner, and he’s telling James Corden that he can get him a reservation right when they open. He was trying to be really accommodating. And James Corden yells at this busboy, ‘A lot of good that does me, mate!’”

Habersberger says she was once a server in Beverly Hills and took a direct shot at Corden’s apology to McNally, ending the TikTok with the following, “I don’t think James Corden is sorry. Because if he was really sorry, he would’ve apologized to the server and not the owner of the restaurant.” The New York Times also noted yesterday that Corden said, “I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level.”
