Beyoncé reportedly received $24 million for the concert.Beyoncé reportedly received $24 million for the concert.“After much inner conflict, I’ve deleted my post criticizing Beyoncé for accepting a huge pay packet to perform in Dubai, a country in which homosexualty is illegal. I deleted it for many reasons, partly for not fully understanding the customs of the Middle East, but mostly because I felt disingenuous for a reply I made to someone’s comment,” he began.
“I wrote that I was once offered a million dollars to open Balthazar in Dubai. Although this was true, my implication was I rejected the offer on moral grounds. This was not true. I rejected the offer because I didn’t like Dubai itself, not because I disagreed with its barbaric law regarding homosexuality. In fact, at the time I was shamefully unaware of this law.”
McNally cheekily concluded his second post, “I’m still going to seat Beyoncé next to James Corden if and when she next comes to Balthazar.”Last November, the British-born restaurateur caused a viral firestorm when he slammed the late-night talk show host for being the “most abusive” customer he has had since Balthazar opened its doors in 1997.
“James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago,” he claimed in a scathing Instagram post at the time.Getty Images Beyoncé wasn’t the only celebrity to come under fire for celebrating the luxurious resort opening in Dubai on Saturday.
Feeding you for free didn't work out for racist McNally this time. Run tell Keith. BZZZZ
