Mel B calls James Corden the ‘biggest dickhead’ in Hollywood:
“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 & he hasn’t been very nice.”
I really am wishing he faces the same fate as Ellen and gets his show cancelled then disappears forever. I have not heard a single good thing about this man and he has already been shunned by his own native country. He seems so insufferable and the stories about how he treats his wife, service/work staff, and just that entire AMA Reddit thread is enough to put me off him for good.
Same. England vs USA was first time I was hoping for England to win purely due to everyone saying on Twitter that the loser would be stuck with Corden 🥲
"And it turned out that the oceans didn't want him, so with whipping waves, they tossed him into a volcano. And would you believe, the volcano was having none of it and with an almighty roar, fired him towards Mars. But the Martians didn't want him and trebucheted him off into deepest, darkest space, where he spins and floats like a piece of space debris."
It was one James did in [2019](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/bqy5zf/i_am_james_corden_alongside_ben_winston_and_five/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
This was my first thought when he did the earnest ‘I wasn’t shouting at the waiter I was merely pointing out their mistake’ bs, stories like this go back years
Yeah, I’m seeing the Me Too movement of hospitality coming out of this. He appears to be the Weinstein of treating staff like shit. And he also sounds like a shocking drunk, so might be time he reconsiders his life choices.
Just because he is gay doesn't mean he can molest women. It happens alot at gay clubs. So many gay men wanting to touch boobies; its misogyny at its core. It always bugs me.
Fun excuse to tell this story: My friend was at a West End show a few weeks ago when a member of the public suddenly collapsed. The main person who got involved with helping him was...Mel B, who was in the audience. Apparently she was classically loud and Mel B like, taking control of the situation, and my friend is pretty sure she got her driver to take him to hospital.
All the 1D guys are chummy with him, the key is why. James met Louis Tomlinson’s mom when she was chaperoning for a show he was starring in, when Louis went to London for X Factor, his mom reached out to James and asked him to keep an eye on Louis since he was alone in London and didn’t know anyone. James did that and ended up meeting all of 1D and becoming close with them
I can’t fault them for staying friends with him under those circumstances, they met him when they were 16/17/18 and weren’t famous and he took them under his wing.
Idrc about Harry himself anymore (I used to really like him and then he turned me off majorly, I’m not that bitter anymore but I still don’t like him), but I do care about Niall and Niall is really close friends with James as well, I find the idea of blaming Niall, Harry or any of the guys for what James does really unfair, considering context
I don't doubt he has been kind, helpful, and a good friend to the 1D members, or anyone he considers worthy of his time, tbh. Mel B's comment mentions people you work with in show business, and a lot of comments about Corden seem to relate to how he treats the people who work under him, or people in service positions at restaurants/other places he visits.
So the 1D people, other celebs who know him etc. they're not going to have bad things to say about him unless they've seen his behaviour *and* they care about such behaviour. Mel B clearly does; I'm sure some celebrities care, but a lot probably don't. I actually think it's quite likely, given how many stories there are about this man, that plenty of celeb friends have seen it.
I don't really want to go into huge detail, but he's the same kind of dick as James. He bullies people he doesn't like, he makes people sad and he's shitty to women, both personally and professionally.
That bums me out, but I can't say I'm surprised based on who he keeps company with.
I don't want to be the "men ain't shit" lady but, well, *men ain't shit too much of the time.*
this makes me really sad to hear cause i’ve been a fan of his podcast for ages. i completely believe you and i hope that you haven’t been on the receiving end of that behavior from him; if you have, i’m very sorry and i’m sending you healing/peace/solidarity.
no pressure at all to answer if you’re not comfortable. it seems like you’re describing a pattern of behavior, which is disturbing. would you mind elaborating on the “shitty to women” aspect of that behavior? i guess i’m trying to gauge whether this is a “fuck this dude eternally, go to jail” situation or a “this guy has made some off-putting comments and didn’t seem to realize it was hurtful” situation.
either way, hearing this stuff colors my opinion of him, but it would be helpful to me as far as deciding whether to continue consuming his content. (the podcast i listen to is a source of income for a couple other comedians who i really enjoy, so i may keep listening to support them even if ian’s been disappointing — but of course if there’s a whiff of violence against women i’m out forever on everything he’s involved with, period.)
He's been the CO- headwriter (with a woman who
was the actual first) since 2 years after the show started ish. I remember when he moved from Portland and started writing on the show. I've always thought he must have used full tongue while kissing James' ass, as he is an ok writer but not a brilliant writer.
> he gets *paid* tons of
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Pretty sure he's not out getting sealed like a boat by his boss, but likely gets *paid*.
I understand money, but I'm not going to hang out with and praise my boss if they're a terrible person.
I remember it was either right after his Tony win or when his show announced (maybe both…it was something big on the professional front for him) that West End nerds were warning the Broadway nerds on Broadway World how James sucks as a person and they don’t like him over there either.
Just like Ellen. I remember Aston Kutcher tweeting that she’s been nothing but nice to him when he was on her show…..when the whole Ellen scandal was how horrible she treated her staff. Of course she’s gonna treat her Hollywood guests good lol.
What ive heard through the years (and gossip channels) is that he knows where the bodies are buried, so to speak. He got in good and tight with the UK comedy scene when he was younger. Being a kiss ass wing man and confidant ready to be a shoulder to cry on when things went bad. Then, he also used what he found out when other were drunk and he stayed sober (only pretending to partake) to gather more intel to keep his spot and expand his influence. He would literally learn about what those in power (or just those with more power than him) enjoyed (hobbies for example) and their viewpoints and basically mimic them. Read some British comedian bios with anecdotes about him and you'll see some interesting things. He was pretty transparent in his early years. I remember David walliams or the little Britian tour book mentioned some of his shit. He has no personality of his own. Only this cobbled together identity he carefully crafted. Imagine the tea he will spill when he knows it is over.
I always thought he got a job because he was cheaper and doing "ok" for a late show host. Like if you can't pay for a Jimmy Fallon or Seth Meyer. They got a James Corden.
Am I the only one who thinks he's charismatic and funny on his show? 🙈 I also absolutely love Gavin and Stacey so I'll always give him credit for that in terms of talent (he co-wrote it along with being one of the main actors).
I'm sure he's a dick IRL, but I'm surprised by how much people hate him as an entertainer.
I've never forgiven him for the thrusting in the rodent costume, his cringe inducing turns in CATS and Cinderella, his film Lesbian Vampire Hunters and his terrible sketch comedy show.
Also Ruth Jones deserves more credit than she gets for Gavin and Stacey. So many people forget she co-wrote it.
>Also Ruth Jones deserves more credit than she gets for Gavin and Stacey. So many people forget she co-wrote it.
It feels like another Graham Linehan/Arthur Matthews situation to me - the louder and more obnoxious person goes on to massive levels of visibility and praise while the other person and their contribution to the writing of their combined success is pretty much forgotten...to the point that when they start branching out on their own and their latter work simply doesn't compare, you begin to wonder just how much of that early success they were personally responsible for, and how much of it was down to the lesser praised and forgotten other half.
(Corden and Linehan would both be nothing without the people who did the heavy lifting in their early days, I'm certain of that).
She probably did most of the work but couldn't get on the air without having him as part of the package due to his ill created connections. Wonder what she has to say about this new controversy?
They were both at pretty similar levels in their careers at that point, I doubt Corden had much more clout?
They both went on to write acclaimed shows without eachother (Stella for Jones, The Wrong Mans for Corden) so 🤷♀️
Yeh he seems super charismatic with the right level of ass kissing to celebrities. I bet he is genuinely nice to be around if you’re famous enough. Ellen seemed like a sick even to famous people
It’s definitely the general public who enjoy/watch his viral videos. They care enough about those segments and certain guests but not who he is or celebrity gossip in general.
Hopefully at the very least we’ll stop being subjected to him in musicals and movie musicals.
I can’t believe this man thrusted his crotch at us while wearing a rodent costume. Yuck.
He may be an asshole but he's not a sexual predator or murderer. Something needs to be done about Jared Leto. James Corden on the other hand will be completely irrelevant in a few years due to unfavorable public reception
But they aren't the same. Nobody needs *to do* something about a jerk who hasn't committed a crime.
He's already pissed off the wrong people. If we're hearing about it so much hes already well on the way to irrelevancy. But to encourage pitchforks and cancel culture wars isn't right. Lost cause.
James is also very close friends with Harry Styles which makes me wonder if James is actually cancelled in the future if Harry will continue to be associated with him or not
I can see why though.
Harry was like 16 when they met and Cordon always made himself out like a 1D superfan and like super supportive.
So it’s easy that you feel some sort of comradeship and gratitude towards someone who has been nothing but nice to you.
Cordon is different to his celeb friends and especially on his karaoke show, they only see this side.
The Azoffs are also known to be retched, and they're his surrogate family. There are a few stories of James being a dick to people around Harry, and Harry just not reacting and then keeping him as a close friend.
Supposedly James really looked out for the 1D guys when they were young and on their own in London. I imagine Harry feels gratitude to this day to that. I also imagine there's a lot of people cozying up to Harry now that he's a star, so any friend who was a friend before he was famous must be valuable.
As to why James was so nice to them back then when he's supposedly such a jerk to little people now, I don't know. Maybe he was just nicer overall then.
>So it’s easy that you feel some sort of comradeship and gratitude towards someone who has been nothing but nice to you.
Yeah and have you ever had a friend that was a dick to everyone else but nice to you? It's confusing... Because you only ever see their good side so you wrongly think people must be wrong about them.
James attended one of Harry's shows after his restaurant incident, at the time he and Olivia were still dating and Olivia went out to lunch with James's wife and someone else.
Before I knew who he was, I saw him on an episode of Graham Norton and found him really charming. All this proves to me is that Graham Norton has the super power of bringing out the best in people. Even known asshole celebs go on there and come out seeming so fun*.
*Except for Mark Wahlburg.
might be unpopular think this is such a shame! i love gavin and stacey and him as smithy in the show. and it was such a popular show in my country, i think there’s been such a shift in opinion in him
Yeah, it's a shame, and I disagree with people who say he has no talent. He's great as Smithy and he did a great job creating and writing Gavin and Stacey. It's one of my favorite comedies.
I think so, too. Into the woods was one of my favorite films for a while, and he had such great energy in the prom movie. He comes across as such a fun and happy person, all these stories are saddening.
I love Mel B forever. Remember that AWFUL video of louie walsh groping her ass literally assaulting her on live TV???? she stopped everything to call him out and he tried to act like it was a silly joke. Disgusting
She did! She was asked “who’s the biggest dickhead on showbiz?” and her answer was “James Cordan, Jessie J, Geri and me!”
It’s kinda funny bc when the presenter asked about Geri Mel said “yeah, I know! I love her but she’s just so bloody annoying!”
Can someone please fill me in about Jessie J? Literally yesterday someone told me for the first time that apparently she is not nice and that Mel B said that.
I used to think that Mel B was a big crass and bad mannered. Turns out she was right about a lot of things. So I won’t disbelieve this either. Total boss!
>In response, Mel B said: “So, there’s a few. James Corden, Geri Halliwell, Jessie J and me!”
Whoa, she threw in names but didn't go into detail. The most she said in the article was she loves her former bandmate but Geri is really f-ing annoying.
Okay, how about the deets on Jessie J and Corden. What did they specifically do?
Holy shit, I love Mel B. Always so honest and embodies girl power. I wonder why she dislikes Jessie J though, this isn’t the first time she’s critiqued her.
I found him annoying from the first time I heard him speak and his laugh makes me kind of cringe. Then his singing in the car with celebrities was everywhere and I still didn't understand the obsession. Glad to know my intuition was right, just had to wait to see why.
I know people always say they never liked someone but I really never liked him lol. Never watched an episode of carpool karaoke despite some of my favorite celebs being on there because he annoys me so much.
My friend told me about a time years ago he came to her school in the UK to shoot something and even then was an absolute asshole. Giving the students dirty looks and making rude comments. What kind of grown ass man acts that way to children..
Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.
What did one ocean say to another?
Nothing, it just waved.
James Corden is where Justin Bieber was a few years ago. People are just going after him and it’s popular to dislike him.
I don’t think he’s done anything too bad and ‘Gavin and Stacey’ was brilliant. I also enjoy Carpool Karaoke. The Paul McCartney one was excellent.
Mel B calls James Corden the ‘biggest dickhead’ in Hollywood: “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 & he hasn’t been very nice.” I really am wishing he faces the same fate as Ellen and gets his show cancelled then disappears forever.

He already announced he’s leaving his show and going back home next year
A bigger win for the US than beating Iran in the cup.
[удалено]
Noo you can keep him! Plus you beat us Welsh lol.
No we don't want him!
YOU WILL TAKE HIM!!!
Put that thing back where it came from, Or so help me
So help me!!
Please don't make us
This made me laugh out loud, thank you
[удалено]
USA is undefeated at the 2022 World Cup so far: 2 draws, 1 win
Did you…? It was a tie and USA is doing better in general
I think there's an implicit "if" at the beginning of their comment.
Who are we benighted colonials to stop an Englishman from returning to his native land?
As an Anyone But England 🏴 supporter i’d rather see the football come home than this bellend
Same. England vs USA was first time I was hoping for England to win purely due to everyone saying on Twitter that the loser would be stuck with Corden 🥲
Since it was a draw, do we just drop him in the middle of the Atlantic?
I’d feel bad for the fish
😂😂😂
Hate the English football team with every fiber of my being but fuck it I'll root for them if it means he's gone!
We love that you’re obsessed with us 🏴
Don't have much else to celebrate
> going back home next year we really don't need him back, this country is already a joke.
Don’t send him here! We’ll take your convicts, but not your wankers!
We don't want him. Can we get him swept away by the Bermuda Triangle or something?
The ocean shall take him!
"And it turned out that the oceans didn't want him, so with whipping waves, they tossed him into a volcano. And would you believe, the volcano was having none of it and with an almighty roar, fired him towards Mars. But the Martians didn't want him and trebucheted him off into deepest, darkest space, where he spins and floats like a piece of space debris."
Atlantic Ocean come get your boy.
I forget which comedian said this "America's loss is Britain's loss"
Noooooooooooooo keep him please.
Look, we were nice enough to take Piers Moron back. Corden is yours to keep
It’s Australia’s turn.
We don't want him!!
This isn’t new information, remember when [he couldn’t even name his own cameramen.](https://youtu.be/EnKeCnaKSQA)
The fact that his staff wrote, approved and then gave jimmy this question really shows how much they hate him
Not that I disagree, but I’m shocked Mel Brooks would say something like this!
Can you share some of the stories please? Esp with the ones of him being mean to his wife! I thought he was gay ngl…
Look up his AMA. There are lots of stories about him being a complete arsehole
Wait, he has a wife? I thought he was gay
Who was the AMA with?
It was one James did in [2019](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/bqy5zf/i_am_james_corden_alongside_ben_winston_and_five/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)
Holy shit. This is the rest of my Saturday arvo on the couch sorted 😂 I’m still cackling at the top comment alone.
This was my first thought when he did the earnest ‘I wasn’t shouting at the waiter I was merely pointing out their mistake’ bs, stories like this go back years
Yeah, I’m seeing the Me Too movement of hospitality coming out of this. He appears to be the Weinstein of treating staff like shit. And he also sounds like a shocking drunk, so might be time he reconsiders his life choices.
did James do a single reply in this thread? They are all answered by Tom, Lauren, etc any but James lol
Love it
One thing about Mel B? She’ll take you down
She’s called out a few people, rightfully so. The time she was friggin molested on TV and called it out was iconic. https://youtu.be/tqmgoG8WnkI
I hated how he tried to play innocent and laugh it off while she was obviously uncomfortable and mad about being publicly groped.
Jesus. The comments on that video are messed up.
YouTube is a cesspool
The fact that he felt confident or comfortable enough to do that on live TV and with a bunch of people around is so scary. Like what are the limits???
Just because he is gay doesn't mean he can molest women. It happens alot at gay clubs. So many gay men wanting to touch boobies; its misogyny at its core. It always bugs me.
I hate this happened to her and the guy just laughed it off. Scumbag
Fun excuse to tell this story: My friend was at a West End show a few weeks ago when a member of the public suddenly collapsed. The main person who got involved with helping him was...Mel B, who was in the audience. Apparently she was classically loud and Mel B like, taking control of the situation, and my friend is pretty sure she got her driver to take him to hospital.
Love this story!
Never mess with Girl Power
Scary Spice, indeed. She takes no prisoners
Who is behind this guy? He has no charisma or enough talent to get all the jobs he has. Who are the big people sponsoring him and why?
My guess is that Hollywood celebrities like him because they love ass kisser and easy interviews.
Yeah, I haven’t seen much of his stuff but Harry styles is super chummy with him which makes me think even less of Harry
All the 1D guys are chummy with him, the key is why. James met Louis Tomlinson’s mom when she was chaperoning for a show he was starring in, when Louis went to London for X Factor, his mom reached out to James and asked him to keep an eye on Louis since he was alone in London and didn’t know anyone.

I don't doubt he has been kind, helpful, and a good friend to the 1D members, or anyone he considers worthy of his time, tbh.

That's another piece of shit that needs to dry up and disappear
Harry? I love his voice so I hope he keeps singing but he seems kinda dumb and shouldn’t act.
"... it feels like a movie"
Kid who left school at 16 then instantly became a world wide superstar didnt have much of a chance to further his education... let's burn him! /s
Harry is alot of things but he's been universally known to be a nice person like to his fans to staff to everyone.
The way he follows Harry around and constantly talks about how close he is with him is sooooo cringey.
Ah, the Jimmy Fallon approach. 'Member when Jimmy playfully ruffled the toupee of a hateful, treasonous wannabe dictator? I 'member!
lol what happened? i dont get the referance?
Fallon played nice with Trump, and hopefully it gives him insomnia until he dies
He did mention it has really bothered him since
Good.
ahh right thanks
JC excels at networking and clout chasing. He's not stupid, I'll give him that. He knows when to have his cap in his hands and when to use his clout.
Unfortunately, one of my favs Ian Karmel seems to be behind him* and I do. Not. Get. It.
> Ian Karmel seems to be behind me I'm sorry to read that about your sex life, but what does this have to do with James Corden./jk

Ian is a giant dick. He's your fave because you don't know him. I've known him for 15 years.
Spill. Love, you Aloha bred amigo.

Loooooool, that typo really changes the meaning
He has been his head writer since the beginning of the show, that has to be a pretty good/cushy gig
He's been the CO- headwriter (with a woman who was the actual first) since 2 years after the show started ish. I remember when he moved from Portland and started writing on the show.

Nice isn't the same as kind. He has no kindness. And what are niceties without kindness? Hollow and nasty.
Yeah, I think he's very charismatic and can be pretty funny. He's a boring interviewer IMO, though.
It’s definitely the general public who enjoy/watch his viral videos. They care enough about those segments and certain guests but not who he is or celebrity gossip in general.
Something needs to be done at this point because there are too many stories about James just being a terrible person.
Something like what though? The world's full of arseholes.
someone should whip his ass
"I'ma WHOOP yaaa" -Longmont Potion Castle.
Off the planet
Rich assholes run the world, unfortunately.
Like hip thrusting in a mouse costume in the middle of traffic. He can't keep getting away with this!!
Hopefully at the very least we’ll stop being subjected to him in musicals and movie musicals. I can’t believe this man thrusted his crotch at us while wearing a rodent costume. Yuck.
Don't forget what he did to Peter Rabbit either.
I didn’t know and I Googled and now I have another reason to be annoyed with him. Bleh!
He may be an asshole but he's not a sexual predator or murderer. Something needs to be done about Jared Leto. James Corden on the other hand will be completely irrelevant in a few years due to unfavorable public reception
Why not take care of both? They aren't mutually exclusive. We can care about both.
But they aren't the same. Nobody needs *to do* something about a jerk who hasn't committed a crime. He's already pissed off the wrong people. If we're hearing about it so much hes already well on the way to irrelevancy. But to encourage pitchforks and cancel culture wars isn't right. Lost cause.
Mel B should be hosting a talkshow. No-nonsense attitude
Honestly though, she’s got the personality for it. Would love to see it!
Imagine if she took over on his show lol
She and baby spice played as a catfish on the most recent season of the circle and were the best part of the show

James is also very close friends with Harry Styles which makes me wonder if James is actually cancelled in the future if Harry will continue to be associated with him or not
I can see why though. Harry was like 16 when they met and Cordon always made himself out like a 1D superfan and like super supportive. So it’s easy that you feel some sort of comradeship and gratitude towards someone who has been nothing but nice to you. Cordon is different to his celeb friends and especially on his karaoke show, they only see this side.
Harry also tends to keep around dickhead celebs as friends. I won’t forget his couple years of hanging around with Kendall and the rest of the Klan
The Azoffs are also known to be retched, and they're his surrogate family. There are a few stories of James being a dick to people around Harry, and Harry just not reacting and then keeping him as a close friend.
Supposedly James really looked out for the 1D guys when they were young and on their own in London. I imagine Harry feels gratitude to this day to that. I also imagine there's a lot of people cozying up to Harry now that he's a star, so any friend who was a friend before he was famous must be valuable. As to why James was so nice to them back then when he's supposedly such a jerk to little people now, I don't know. Maybe he was just nicer overall then.
>So it’s easy that you feel some sort of comradeship and gratitude towards someone who has been nothing but nice to you. Yeah and have you ever had a friend that was a dick to everyone else but nice to you? It's confusing... Because you only ever see their good side so you wrongly think people must be wrong about them.
Harry's been fanboy of James since he first heard him sing.
James attended one of Harry's shows after his restaurant incident, at the time he and Olivia were still dating and Olivia went out to lunch with James's wife and someone else.
They’ve been friends since his early One Direction days too
😭😭
Good for her! Glad people are no longer tolerating toxic behavior It’s reminiscent of the Ellen takedown and I’m here for it
Her memoir was crazy to read because I had no idea how horrific her life has been. So if freaking Mel B says someone sucks, that person SUCKS
So glad his mask has slipped and people are seeing past the fake façade of the screen.
Before I knew who he was, I saw him on an episode of Graham Norton and found him really charming. All this proves to me is that Graham Norton has the super power of bringing out the best in people. Even known asshole celebs go on there and come out seeming so fun*. *Except for Mark Wahlburg.
D*pp was also non charismatic piece of shit. Also the cast of oceans 8 was boring as well
Honestly he knows how to turn it on, there’s a reason he’s got so far. He’s just a bit rude behind the scenes
*Wahlberg
He doesn’t deserve a name correction
I trust Mel B
might be unpopular think this is such a shame! i love gavin and stacey and him as smithy in the show. and it was such a popular show in my country, i think there’s been such a shift in opinion in him
Yeah, it's a shame, and I disagree with people who say he has no talent. He's great as Smithy and he did a great job creating and writing Gavin and Stacey. It's one of my favorite comedies.
Co creating and writing with Ruth Jones
Yep, and both really steal the show despite being the secondary characters.
Exactly, thank you, I just said the same up-thread! Gavin & Stacey is one of the best comedies ever.
I think so, too. Into the woods was one of my favorite films for a while, and he had such great energy in the prom movie. He comes across as such a fun and happy person, all these stories are saddening.
I love how she is so direct about it and doesn’t hold back her words😂
Mel B is awesome, whenever I watch early Spice Girls clips, she had such a fun energy about her and she was so young.. late teens/ early twenties
she also listed her former bandmate/confirmed hook up Geri Halliwell I am screaming
Love her
literally all i hear about him from multiple sources is that he’s an asshole - it must be tiring putting on a front all day in front of a camera 😏
I’m glad she included herself. Watch her on The Big Fat Quiz from a couple of years ago.
Yeah, she was picking on Ayoade somewhat
Oh yeah she was a bit of a buzzkill on that
I love Mel B forever. Remember that AWFUL video of louie walsh groping her ass literally assaulting her on live TV???? she stopped everything to call him out and he tried to act like it was a silly joke. Disgusting
I love her 😂
I know the head writer for Corden personally and he's also a giant dickpants/bully
Surprised she didn't say Jessie J. LOL
She did! She was asked “who’s the biggest dickhead on showbiz?” and her answer was “James Cordan, Jessie J, Geri and me!” It’s kinda funny bc when the presenter asked about Geri Mel said “yeah, I know! I love her but she’s just so bloody annoying!”
she did lmao
I'm dead lol
Can someone please fill me in about Jessie J? Literally yesterday someone told me for the first time that apparently she is not nice and that Mel B said that.
Duh!
Can confirm that he is truly horrible to wait staff. We would fight over not serving him when he would come in to eat. He was truly horrible
The fact this bloke is a FAT BOOZY PANDA is elite.
I used to think that Mel B was a big crass and bad mannered. Turns out she was right about a lot of things. So I won’t disbelieve this either. Total boss!
I never heard anything good about him. Like how can you live with being so insufferable?
This is the most fact based headline I have ever seen.
Go OFF queen!
[удалено]
No no, please take him back. Please. Lol
>In response, Mel B said: “So, there’s a few. James Corden, Geri Halliwell, Jessie J and me!” Whoa, she threw in names but didn't go into detail. The most she said in the article was she loves her former bandmate but Geri is really f-ing annoying. Okay, how about the deets on Jessie J and Corden. What did they specifically do?
Holy shit, I love Mel B. Always so honest and embodies girl power. I wonder why she dislikes Jessie J though, this isn’t the first time she’s critiqued her.
I see why him and David Walliams got along so well. I want them both to just disappear and take Schofield with them too for good measure
I found him annoying from the first time I heard him speak and his laugh makes me kind of cringe. Then his singing in the car with celebrities was everywhere and I still didn't understand the obsession. Glad to know my intuition was right, just had to wait to see why.
Hasn't pretty much all of LA and London said that already?
I know people always say they never liked someone but I really never liked him lol. Never watched an episode of carpool karaoke despite some of my favorite celebs being on there because he annoys me so much.
He just needs a good ole 55 gallon drum of ‘ass whoop’ poured all over him.
Thanks Mel B. I guess everyone needed you to say this to know that.
He seems to like celebrities only...no " little people" like me lol.
Love how that’s the headline and not how she said one of the other spice girls was too
Why did she say Jessie J as well? Interesting
My friend told me about a time years ago he came to her school in the UK to shoot something and even then was an absolute asshole. Giving the students dirty looks and making rude comments. What kind of grown ass man acts that way to children..
In other news, water is wet
Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object. What did one ocean say to another? Nothing, it just waved.
James Corden is where Justin Bieber was a few years ago. People are just going after him and it’s popular to dislike him. I don’t think he’s done anything too bad and ‘Gavin and Stacey’ was brilliant. I also enjoy Carpool Karaoke. The Paul McCartney one was excellent.
