After a conversation about President Barack Obama went sour, George Clooney and Wynn Hotels CEO Steve Wynn are now at odds.
Following dinner at Wynn's Las Vegas Botero restaurant, the topic of politics came to the forefront.
According to a statement issued by Clooney's publicist, "There were nine people at the table" and "Steve likes to go on rants."
What triggered Wynn's rant this time around is a discussion on Obama and the Affordable Healthcare Act. Supposedly, the hotel mogul eventually called the Commander and Chief a derogatory name.
"(Wynn) called the president an (expletive) ... that is a fact," according to the actor. "I said that the president was my longtime friend and then he said 'your friend is an (expletive).'... At that point I told Steve that HE was an (expletive) and that I wasn't going to sit at his table while he was being such a jackass. … And I walked out. There were obviously quite a few more adjectives and adverbs used by both of us as I left. Those are all the facts. It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with character."
However, in an interview with Las Vegas Review Journal , Wynn said Clooney was the one who got out of pocket.
"(Clooney) didn’t like that either," Wynn said. "I think my discussion about the Affordable Care Act was the straw that broke the camel’s back."
The business tycoon then continued with suggested that Clooney was a lush.
“When he’s drinking, he considers himself a close personal buddy of the president," Wynn told the publication. "Clooney’s fun to be with when he’s sober. If you have a chance to drink with him, you want to get there early, and don’t stay late."
In both sides of the story Clooney was the one that stormed out.
