Actor Fabio has branded George Clooney "a low-class scumbag"
after allegedly insulting female diners at a Hollywood restaurant.
The romance icon stunned diners at the swanky Madeo eaterie when he
exchanged fighting words with Clooney on 2 November (07).
But Fabio insists he was defending guests at his charity function and
was forced to take action when a female dining companion complained
Clooney called her "a fat cow".
He says, "(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 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.
"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."
