Fabio calls Clooney a “scumbag”

By Alexandra Heilbron on November 19, 2007 | 7 Comments


FabioRomance icon Fabio has spoken out on what happened to cause his altercation with George Clooney earlier this month. He says he was defending one of his dinner guests whom Clooney called “a fat cow.” Fabio explains: “[George] 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 sat 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. 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.”

    If the facts are correct then good for him!

    Clooney isn’t Steve McQueen or Robert Mitchum or any of that clan– he’s just the only guy around at the time who fit the bill.

    Central casting: its a business.

    So were was the restaurant staff? Would seem to me the management should have tossed them both for that behaviour!

    We all know that being a famous person means you can misbehave in public, but for a hunk of man-meat to defend a woman is truly a real man. Are there any real men in the world who would stick up for women anymore, just when I thought not…along comes Fabio.
    Besides, Cloony is overrated…
