James Corden has brushed off Lily Allen‘s savage remark that he was desperate for friendship with her, according to sources who have claimed the former late night host branded the singer’s podcast comments ‘tacky.’
Corden, who is back in the UK after living in the United States for the better part of a decade, was recently branded a ‘beg friend’ by the British singer as she recalled their first meeting.
Allen, 39, made the comment while hosting her Miss Me? podcast alongside childhood best friend and fellow ‘nepo baby’ Miquita Oliver.
HOW IT STARTED
The comments came after Corden, 45, has been dogged by accusations of bad manners, rude backstage behavior and for putting on a fake ‘good guy’ persona to the public.
WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT LILY
An insider revealed that Gavin & Stacey star believes Allen was ‘a bit of a t**t to have said anything at all.’
‘James gets a bunch of heat on how he treats people over and over again and is a very polarizing person,’ the source said. ‘He is a bit like Ellen DeGeneres nowadays, you either like him or you don’t, nothing in between.
‘So, when Lily recently talked s**t about him, to James it was just another day in his life, just another hater.’
They continued: ‘He thought for Lily to bring up their past was tacky and that she was a bit of a t**t to have said anything at all.
‘He believes he has never been desperate and deserves better and is pretty much over people talking about him in a negative way. But the only way that will change is when he starts to change.’

The insider added that the former The Late Late Show host still doesn’t understand why so many people have spoken out against him in recent years.
‘James doesn’t get why he upsets so many people because he is just being himself,’ the source added.
‘But being himself is a little delusional and actually the problem is he is always about himself and if you don’t befriend him, or side with him, he makes you feel that it is your fault.’
The source noted that the TV star would need to take time to reflect if he wants to avoid any future feuds.
