James Corden is probably one of the most popular TV hosts today, but his staff is allegedly not happy after he asks for a raise without considering them.
James Corden allegedly asked for a $5 million raise
James Corden wants a big pay raise. However, he has no plans to share the wealth with his staff. The Late Late Show With James Corden host allegedly wanted to get more money for himself. However, he has no intention of making everyone on set happier, National Enquirer reported.
The outlet noted that Corden is a diva to work with. So, more allegedly preferred to work with Jimmy Kimmel. However, there’s allegedly a threat on his show because there seems to be the threat that he’s looking for something better.
The anonymous tipster added that Corden had put himself out there as Mr. Nice Guy on camera. However, he is allegedly not as warm or kind to his staff and the crew off-camera.
“To say he isn’t well-liked is an understatement. He likes to pit his most talented people against each other. He seems to get a kick out of seeing people squirm,” the unnamed source said.
Rumor debunked
Gossip Cop examined the report and doubt its accuracy. First, there is no evidence to back up the claim that James Corden asked for a $5 million payday. Usually, salary negotiations are confidential, especially for big stars like Corden.
If details about Corden’s salary leak, the rumor-debunking site doubt it will be the only outlet to report on it. Also, there is no single reputable outlet that has picked up the story due to lack of evidence So the outlet concluded that the claim about the raise is nonsense.
Gossip Cop added that it was also not the first time Corden was painted as “distant, aloof and cold.” Several celebrities have been treated by various tabloids in the same way for no apparent reason.
When Cordon’s sister sat down for an interview, they said their celebrity brother is “extremely introverted.” In fact, among the three of them, he is “the most introverted,” his sister Ruth said.
The outlet noted that while he is not as bubbly and outgoing off-cam, it doesn’t mean that he cuts his staff’s paychecks. One should take the report with a grain of salt until there is enough evidence.
Gossip Cop speculated that the tabloid missed the Ellen DeGeneres toxic scandal workplace and invented a new plot for Corden.
