Actor George Clooney has gone on with his war against hotel and casino mogul Steve Wynn, naming Wynn’s account of their unsolved issues “false”.
The Ocean Eleven’s star got into an argument with Wynn and left a Las Vegas restaurant in April. He later accused Wynn for calling U.S. President Barack Obama an “a**hole”.
Now Wynn hit back during an interview on the Bloomberg TV network on Friday, May 2, denying he ever used that word against the President. He also named the actor “mollycoddled” and “a little into the tequila”.
Clooney now responded with a long statement issued to People.com.
He wrote, “I will not let his version of the truth go unchallenged. He now says he didn’t call the president an ‘a******.’ That is false. He bellowed ‘I voted for the a******,’ and then called him the same thing several more times as the dinner came to an abrupt end.”
“Again there were eight people at the table, eight witnesses. I did in turn, call him the same body part, and walked out. Again he can make up whatever story he wants, but these are the facts. He said I drank 16 shots of tequila. I didn’t drink one shot of tequila, not one. We were drinking but it was early and we still had two events to attend.”
“He said I live in a bubble. More of a bubble than Las Vegas? Honestly? He says I’m ‘molly coddled,’ that I’m surrounded by people who coddle me. I would suggest that Mr. Wynn look to his left and right and find anyone in his sphere that says anything but ‘yes’ to him…”
“Steve is one of the richest men in the world and he should be congratulated for it, but he needs to take off his red sparkly dinner jacket and roll up his sleeves every once in a while and understand what most of the country is actually dealing with… or at least start with the fact that you can’t make up stories when eight people who are not on your payroll are sitting around you as witnesses.”
