Why Mel B Called James Corden and Geri Halliwell “Dickhead” Celebs

James later addressed the social media dust-up, telling the New York Times, “I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level.”

“I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it’s so silly,” he continued. “I just think it’s beneath all of us.”

He elaborated on the situation a further during the Oct. 24 episode of The Late Late Show, admitting he did act out during his latest visit to Balthazar because his wife, Julia Carey, had received a dish containing an ingredient she was allergic to. “As her meal came wrong to the table the third time, in the heat of the moment, I made a sarcastic, rude comment about cooking it myself,” he confessed. “And it is a comment I deeply regret.”

Acknowledging the “difficulties of being a server,” James added, “Because I didn’t shout or scream or didn’t get up out of my seat, I didn’t call anyone names or use derogatory language, I’ve been walking around thinking that I haven’t done anything wrong. But the truth is I have. I made a rude comment and it was wrong. It was an unnecessary comment. It was ungracious to the server.”

E! News reached out to Geri’s and James’ rep for comment but has not heard back.
