Darren Hayes has “strenuously denied” the allegation that he racially attacked a waiter in a Thai restaurant.
As we reported yesterday, Hayes was arrested and questioned by police last Friday after staff at the Busaba Eathai restaurant in London accused him of racial abuse.
The incident is reported to have happened in the Wardour Street restaurant on July 22nd.
In a statement a spokesperson for the singer said: “Darren is unable to comment to any extent as the incident is presently under investigation by the police, with whom he has cooperated fully.”
The spokesperson continued: “However he is deeply upset at the allegation which he strenuously denies and anyone who knows Darren will recognise that the particular nature of the allegation is totally abhorrent to him and contrary to everything for which he has stood.”
Police took statements from members of staff at the Busaba Eathai restaurant on the day of the incident and the victim is believed to have returned to work.

- I’ve no doubt these allegations are false and that he is innocent.
- Busaba - nice place and pretty cheap ok food!
Who’s Darren Hayes?
- Most likely, I would think they were very false; seeing as how he just released his brand new album of 3 years on the 20th. And if anyone know’s him even the slightest, they would find, he wouldn’t do anything like that and is certainly not stupid enough to do it in that way if he did.
- i believe poetic justice is in order, he will atone by standing on a montain, where it’s very cold, and then being thrown in the sea, forever.
