James Corden Says It Was His Wife's Food Allergy That Caused Him To Be Rude

James Corden made headlines last week for his rude behavior towards wait staff at a restaurant in NYC. Now he says it was because his wife has food allergies.

"So we sit down, we ordered, and my wife explained that she has a serious food allergy. So when everybody's meals came, my wife was given the food that she was allergic to. But she hadn't taken a bite of it or anything, no worries — we sent it back. All was good."

"When it came back wrong more than once, in the heat of the moment, I made a sarcastic rude comment about cooking it myself. It is a comment I deeply regret. I understand the difficulties of being a server. I worked shifts at restaurants for years."

Corden wouldn't say what his wife is allergic to and his publicist hasn't responded to media requests for that info according to People
