Fabian Basabe will make a Hamptons return / Jossip




Fabian Basabe will make a Hamptons return
— Fri, Jul 15, 2005 —

After all hell broke loose in the land of gossip following Fabian Basabe‘s “The Star Room Incident” (as it will now be known), we wanted to go straight to the source (we hear that’s what Page Six actually does) for the real spin on to which we could add our own spin.

So we asked Fabs a couple follow-up questions — and if you don’t think he’s really, really sorry about calling the bouncers “negroes,” then your soul must look like Glenda Bailey‘s.

First, we wanted to know if anyone actually accepted his apology, from the staff to the fellow s-lites he fell over.

A prior family engagement meant that I’ve had to be in Italy since shortly after the incident. I have sent them a note basically saying that I am mortified by my own mouth, and it doesn’t reflect my attitude towards anyone that works there, or African-Americans in general for that matter.

That’s nice, but did all this put an end to his night? There were plans to go to Tavern!

I never made it to Tavern that night. I was too embarrassed by my own actions at Star Room. Going home early was the wisest decision I made all night.

So is he going to show his face again this summer in the East End?

I love the Hamptons and will definitely be back.

And wow is La Perla wifie Martina reacting? And daddy?

They were of course concerned because they couldn’t believe at first that I would say something like that. I come from a multicultural family in the first place, and the type of language that I used at Star Room would earn a smack in the Basabe household. Everyone understands that I screwed up and that it won’t happen again.

And lastly, who got the story completely wrong?

I don’t really want to get into a pissing contest over the details. The Daily News got more right, but when you’re dealt 300 words or whatever in Page Six, they’re of course going to miss some facts. But all of that is beside the basic fact which is that I was being a plum idiot. And I am truly sorry.

So there you have it, folks: Rush & Molloy cares more about their subjects than Richard Johnson.
