Fabio tells his side of the ‘George Clooney Scuffle’
Posted on November 15th, 2007 by Hot Momma
Sorry but I have to call it a scuffle because it was hardly a fight. But anyway not to let a colorful but hardly relevant story die … At the grand opening of Lamborghini Calabasas on Wednesday night Fabio AKA Fabio Lanzoni, gave his side of the story about his recent scuffle with George Clooney to OK! Magazine:
“I was doing a charity for the 11-99 Foundation, which benefits the widows and children of officers killed in the line of duty,” says Fabio of the infamous Nov. 2 dinner at Madeo. “I had dinner with six women and a photographer woman and we were just having fun, having dinner and taking pictures. All of a sudden one of the ladies said to me ‘there is this gentleman a few tables behind you that keeps insulting me, keeps giving me the finger.’ She’s like ‘this gentleman behind you called me a fat cow.’”
“So I turn and it was him,” Fabio says of Clooney. “He was drunk and thought people were taking pictures of him. So I went to the table and explained to him that we were having a charity dinner and I said ‘you’re more than welcome to come to my table and see if there was a picture of you.’ I apologized and he started being rude so I put him in his place. After I put him in his place – you know I’m three times his size – he got a little scared. I went back to my table and as soon as I sit down he paid his bill, got up and he started insulting the girls. He called the women names. At that point I lost my temper. I went after him and he ran out of the restaurant.”
“He has no class,” Fabio tells OK!. “You have to be a low-class, scumbag to start calling a woman a name. If you’re a man, you should never. You should be a gentleman. These women were with me and as a man I defend them. He was lucky he ran out of the restaurant. He’s not even half a man.”
Sounds like Fabio is still pretty angry with George. Many celebrities probably would have laughed the whole thing off and said “t was way overblown and were really friends”. I am not taking sides, but I think Fabio might be delighted to keep this story alive and reap the publicity.
What do you mean Fabio tells HIS side? The whole thing has been Fabio’s side! Clooney hasn’t said a thing.
Good point Jackie! Funny and true. Though I did read some comments supposedly from George in regards to the supposed bad blood with Fabio. It wasn’t a very reliable source so I choose not to publish.
ITA about Fabfabio. Doesn’t sound like a George thing at all.
Ok, so seriously…..does Fabio need an ego check or what? Honestly, I can see where its probably just a very honest mistake on George’s behalf, but Fabio is turning it around to look like the good guy.
Honestly, didn’t Fabio go out in the 90’s though?
