Fabio Brands George Clooney A Scumbag

Professional beefcake Fabio has branded George Clooney "a low-class scumbag" after he allegedly insulted female diners at an L.A. restaurant.

The pair exchanged some fighting talk at the swanky Madeo earlier this month, after Clooney apparently took offence when he thought one of Fabio’s party was snapping pics of him.

Things got out of control, with Fabio claiming he was forced to defend guests at his charity function after George called a female dining companion "a fat cow".

The romantic hero 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 apologised 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." 

Ouch!
