New York City restauranteur Keith McNally took another swing at Jeff Bezos' fiancée and looped in Jerry Seinfeld's wife in the latest development to his newest celebrity feud.
McNally said he has been facing backlash for posting pictures of the Amazon founder and his wife-to-be Lauren Sanchez, where he branded her 'revolting.'
Rats were unleashed in his upmarket Balthazar restaurant in the Big Apple by a mystery diner in April - which the restauranteur said was a staged attack against him.
On Sunday, McNally took to Instagram to deliver a half-hearted apology and dragged those who criticized him for commenting on Sanchez's looks.
'Of course it's wrong to criticize someone you don't know - sorry Hitler - especially when they're as wholesome and natural as Sánchez looks in the photo above,' McNally said.

'Apologizes for my April 15th post where - due to being Stone Cold Sober - I called the helicopter-flying beauty "revolting-looking."'
'Joking aside, just because Sanchez may have spent a fortune on plastic surgery doesn't make her "revolting." In fact most of the revolting people I know haven't spent a penny on plastic surgery,' he said.
In his April 15 post, McNally seemingly unprovoked, posted a serious of pictures of the couple with the caption, 'Does anybody else find Jeff Bezos' New wife - Lauren Sanchez - ABSOLUTELY REVOLTING?'
'What an ugly and F***ing SMUG - LOOKING couple they make. Is this what having 1000 Billion dollars does to people?'
On Sunday, McNally went on to call out people who spoke in Sanchez's defense, including her celebrity pals.
'Although 90 percent of the 3,000 comments I received from my Sanchez post were light and funny - and in the vein of the post - the comments I received from other billionaires' wives were Unfunny and Weird,' McNally said.
'The Unfunniest was from the wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld (whom I adore) - Jessica Seinfeld. Seinfeld must have been embarrassed by her comment 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."'
'"Twisted, pitiful, and hideous.' The f****r must have read my memoir,' he said.

Five days after his first post about Sanchez, diners managed to capture a video of what appeared to be a small rat running across the white tiled floor as it made a bid to escape from McNally's restaurant.
Waiters rushed into action to become makeshift rat catchers gathering all the napkins they could find as they attempted to capture the uninvited guest.
McNally's restaurant, which was awarded an A-rating during the city's latest Health Department kitchen inspections was quick to respond to reports of rats, viewing the entire incident with cynicism.
'A suspicious-looking man of about 40 came and sat nervously at Balthazar's bar last night around 8:30. After paying for one drink he suddenly left very quickly leaving an upturned bag which 5 white domesticated mice ran out from,' McNally posted to Instagram.
'One of the bartenders who noticed the whole episode ran after the man, but failed to catch him. The five domesticated white mice were quickly caught.
'The entire episode was a SET-UP. I just feel sorry that the 5 domesticated white mice were exploited this way,' McNally wrote.
The rat seen scurrying in the video, however, was brown in color and it is not clear if the incidents are separate or possibly part of a revenge plot following McNally's slights against Sanchez.
'A woman called Michelle Manning Barish seemed to have knowledge that the incident was about to happen because she was standing suspiciously close to where the incident happened with her iPhone ready to take photos… She immediately posted one of the photos on Instagram and DM'd me a photo of a white mouse,' McNally stated.
McNally, The owner of enduring New York City hot-spots Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern, and Morandi has previously picked several fights with well-known visitors to his restaurants.
In October of 2022, he started a weeks-long feud with then late-night host James Corden, who reportedly screamed at McNally's Balthazar staff over an all-yolk omelet his wife had attempted to order.
McNally posted a long statement to Instagram detailing Corden's alleged unpleasant encounters with the Balthazar staff and issuing a ban on Corden as a guest of his establishments.
Corden, who has on multiple occasions been pegged as difficult to work with, defended himself on-air and in a New York Times profile at the time.
He apologized, McNally reversed the ban, and things were smoothed over for a bit, but only until the restaurant boss got his hands on a copy of the London Times, in which Corden denied ever screaming at anyone.
