Read George Clooney's Take On His War Of Words With Steve Wynn

George Clooney's heated and very public disagreement with Casino mogul Steve Wynn continues with Clooney adding more fuel to the fire in a statement released yesterday (May 2nd).

Clooney and Wynn allegedly had a disagreement last month in Las Vegas after Wynn allegedly called President Barack Obama an "a******". The incident allegedly occurred on April 23rd when Clooney attended a group dinner along with Wynn.

Whilst Wynn has been supportive of various Democrat candidates, including Obama in 2008, he has become increasingly critical of the President. In an interview with Business Insider in 2011, Wynn criticised the Obama led government as being "the greatest wet blanket to business, and progress and job creation in my lifetime." It appears this alleged comment is in line with Wynn's general feeling towards Obama. In contrast, Obama has been supportive of Obama in both his presidential campaigns, as CBS reports.
After denying he insulted Obama, Wynn continued the feud and seemingly provoked Clooney by claiming the 52-year-old actor is "highly privileged" and "molly coddled". His comments were recorded in an interview with Bloomberg.com. Wynn, who owns a number of casino resorts, claimed Clooney's "world view" had been influenced by those around him and that he makes the assumption that "everything should be given to everybody because everything has been given to them." The 72-year-old mogul further attacked Clooney, and bizarrely Barbra Streisand, for living "live in a very strange bubble of their own," and "the people around them are very solicitous and caring for them."

Wynn's implication that Clooney and his fellow performers are unable to speak for themselves was not well received by the Ocean's Eleven actor. Clooney released a statement to People in which he hit back at the comments and assumptions made by Wynn. Clooney claimed that, contrary to reports he is good friends with Wynn, they have met on a mere three occasions and that Wynn, despite denying he made the comment, most definitely insulted President Obama. He further addressed Wynn's claims that he is "molly coddled" by describing the financial struggles he faced before his success.
Here's Clooney's full statement on his feud with Wynn:
"Steve Wynn and I have met three times, two times for dinner. That is the extent of our knowledge of one another, so I will refrain from trying to categorize him based on the little time we've spent together, but 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. Emphatically. I did not attend a private boys' school, I worked in tobacco fields and in stock rooms, and construction sites. I've been broke more of my life than I have been successful, and I understand the meaning of being an employee and how difficult it is to make ends meet.
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."
