Keith McNally sarcastically rolled back his criticism of “revolting” Lauren Sánchez — instead directing his ire at Jerry Seinfeld’s wife, Jessica Seinfeld.
The curmudgeon restaurateur re-shared an image of the “helicopter-flying beauty” and her fiancé, Jeff Bezos, via Instagram Monday and wrote that his cruel commentary was due to being “stone cold sober.”
“Joking aside, just because Sanchez may have spent a fortune on plastic surgery doesn’t make her ‘revolting,’” he wrote. “In fact most of the revolting people I know haven’t spent a penny on plastic surgery.”
McNally, 72, claimed “90% of the 3,000 comments” he received on his previous post about the power couple “were light and funny,” but said Jessica, 52, left the “unfunniest” one of all. He believed she must have been “embarrassed” about her response because she “quickly deleted it.”
“Here’s part of it: ‘THIS POST IS A REFLECTION OF YOUR TWISTED, PITIFUL, AND HIDEOUS MIND. LAUREN HAS TWICE THE CHARACTER YOU DO,’” he rehashed.
“‘Twisted, pitiful, and hideous.’ The f–ker must have read my memoir,” the famed Balthazar owner added, referring to “I Regret Almost Everything,” which notably does not hit stores until next year.
The “Deceptively Delicious” cookbook author has not responsed to McNally’s Instagram commentary.
When the Pastis owner attacked Sánchez, 54, out of the blue last month, she bit back with very pointed messages in an attempt to show how unbothered she was by his remarks.
“People will love you. People will hate you. And none of it will have anything to do with you,” read a passage shared to the former entertainment reporter’s Instagram Story.
“The View” co-host Ana Navarro also called out McNally for his “counterintuitive” attack on Sánchez.
“If you find Lauren Sanchez ‘revolting’, why spend the time and go through the trouble of looking up and posting 8 pictures of her?” she wrote in the comments section of his post.
Navarro, who recently went through a weight-loss transformation, then added of helicopter pilot, “I think if I had her body and money, I’d strut around in a fig-leaf and two [coconut] shells and wouldn’t give a damn what anybody thought.”
