James Corden ignites feud with 'tacky' Lily Allen after singer's savage claim that 'beg friend' TV star was 'desperate' to find fame

As a seasoned observer of human dynamics and interactions, it seems to me that both Lily Allen and James Corden have had their fair share of misunderstandings in their past. From what I gather, it appears that James may have misinterpreted some signs during their acquaintance, while Lily was adamant that she never led him on.


According to reports, James Corden has dismissed Lily Allen’s sharp-witted comment suggesting he sought friendship with her out of desperation. It is said that Corden referred to Allen’s remarks on her podcast as being tacky.

After spending nearly a decade living in the U.S., Corden has been affectionately referred to as a “favored friend” by a British singer, reminiscing about their initial encounter.

As Allen, aged 39, I expressed my thoughts during our recent episode of the Miss Me? podcast, which I co-host with my lifelong friend Miquita Oliver – another member of the so-called ‘nepo baby’ generation.

Following Corden, aged 45, have been persistent allegations about his poor etiquette, unprofessional backstage demeanor, and his portrayal of a seemingly genuine personality towards the public, which is now under scrutiny.

To DailyMail.com, a source disclosed that the actor from Gavin & Stacey thinks Allen acted foolishly for making such comments.

The speaker stated that James repeatedly receives criticism for his interactions with others, making him a highly divisive individual. In essence, people seem to either admire him greatly or dislike him intensely, with little room for indifference, much like Ellen DeGeneres currently.

When Lily recently spoke negatively about him, to James, it felt like just another instance of criticism or disapproval from someone else, which he has grown accustomed to.

They added: ‘He found it inappropriate when Lily mentioned their past, and he considered her somewhat imprudent for even bringing it up.’

He feels confident that he’s never been in a desperate situation and deserves more, and he’s grown past being upset by others speaking negatively about him. However, the situation can only improve if he takes the initiative to bring about change within himself.

An insider mentioned that, to this day, the ex-host of The Late Late Show remains puzzled as to why numerous individuals have criticized him in recent times.

As a seasoned observer of human behavior, I can’t help but notice the enigmatic figure of James. It seems he finds himself puzzled by the frequent ire he stirs among those around him, attributing it to his authenticity – simply being himself, as he puts it. However, having witnessed many a person who genuinely believes their unique traits justify their actions, I find myself compelled to offer an alternative perspective.

According to the source, the television personality might have to spend some time contemplating if they wish to prevent any upcoming disputes.

They mentioned that maintaining respect is important, but James sometimes fails to reciprocate, which is why these issues persist. He needs to modify his mindset and behavior for things to change.

In recent years, Corden’s disagreement with Allen marks another instance adding to the series of accusations concerning his demanding, star-like actions. (Or) Lately, Corden’s argument with Allen is just the latest example among numerous allegations about his diva-like conduct.

Previously, a well-known television personality was controversially banned from the Balthazar restaurant in New York City. The establishment’s proprietor, Keith McNally, stated that the individual had exhibited unacceptably rude behavior towards staff members on not one, but two instances.

Despite initially dismissing the drama as ‘silly,’ Corden later apologized.

In my overzealous enthusiasm, I let a thoughtless remark slip, and it was regrettable indeed. That comment was not only inappropriate but also unwarranted. To the server, it must have seemed unkind and impolite.

Approximately half a year passed, and then Director Craig Duncan, who collaborated with Corden on a UK-based game show back in 2013, escalated the situation by making a highly personal criticism directed towards the comedian.

Duncan described Corden as the “toughest and most irritating presenter” he’s ever collaborated with. According to him, Corden would curse at the crew on set and often referred to Duncan as “foolish.”

‘I hope I never, ever work with [Corden] again,’ Duncan added.

While she was on Celebrity Big Brother in March, Sharon Osbourne referred to Corden as someone who frequently mentions famous names.

‘I’ll tell you who does that, James Corden. He does that all the time,’ she said.

The television personality asserted that Corden often boasted about his high-end fashion labels and she believed he adapted to the Los Angeles social scene, or “Hollywood game,” upon relocating from the United Kingdom.

She shared: “I told him, ‘I think your shoes are great,’ to which he replied, ‘They’re Stella McCartney.’ I responded, ‘I didn’t ask who made them, I simply said I liked them.’ He certainly played the L.A. game skillfully.”

Last month, Allen sparked quite a buzz when she suggested that Corden had befriended her out of kindness, following his assertion that she had led him on, which she categorically denied.

On her Lily Allen and Friends talk show in 2008, the lead singer of Smile admitted to being quite playful with her, and he further shared that they spent a somewhat blurry yet brief spell together socially afterward.

According to the musician, Corden misread the signs and wrote in his book that she led him on.

She shared that James Corden acted quite friendly towards her during their talk show interaction, and they ended up becoming acquainted. In fact, she even introduced him to some of her close friends afterwards.

A ‘persistent acquaintance’ is an individual who consistently seeks your engagement, hoping to develop a friendship over time.

The mom of two clarified, “I think he mentioned it in his book, but let me assure you, I most certainly did not lead him on.”

‘I think in his mind, maybe it went on a bit longer.

‘But yeah, I’d say if I ever had a famous beggy friend, it was James Corden back in the day.’

Allen stated: ‘He no longer asks me for help. Neither do I ask him for anything. At this point, there’s nothing more I can assist him with; he’s fine on his own.’

In his 2011 memoir, Corden described Allen as being self-assured, amusing, and intellectually gifted. All told, we only went out together about four to five times – yet not one of those occasions could be considered a traditional date.

‘It always seemed to involve other people and not just the two of us.’

It became clear to him (while spending time with Allen) as they were at her house along with some of her companions.

As Allen seemed to be heading off to bed, I couldn’t resist following her up the stairs. She graciously led me to the guest room and bid me a goodnight.

In the depths of my fandom, I’ve never confessed to feeling as utterly pathetic as I do now. Who was I fooling? It struck me in the stillness of the night, as I lay there awake, that I had been tragically mistaken about our connection. Lily and I, it seemed, were merely figments of my overactive imagination.

Previously, Allen stated that she perceived Corden as making advances towards her during their TV interview on her BBC Three chat program.

In the episode, Corden addressed Allen, saying, “By the way, disregard those folks over yonder, alright, and I must admit, I don’t know you personally…”

Afterward, Allen interjected and quipped, “Just kiss me…oh, no, no,” causing the crowd to burst into laughter and applause.

Later on, she remarked: ‘Many thanks… that seems like an effective method. Bravo, James! By the way, are you currently unattached?’

He replied: ‘Complicated … no I am, yeah.’

In 2017, Allen stated that she couldn’t stop him then because she might have been labeled as ‘unfeeling’ or ‘arrogant.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me clarify this: Just like many others who admire his charisma and talent, I too enjoyed watching James Corden’s episode, but to set the record straight, there was no romantic or physical attraction involved on my part.

In a public setting like a studio audience, I found myself being approached. If I had chosen to reject him, I might have been perceived as aloof, arrogant, or snooty.

A representative for James Corden has been contacted by DailyMail.com for comment.
