Darren Hayes Denies Racial Abusing Thai Waiter, Defamer Australia Readers Vouch For Ex-Savage Garden Star’s Character

In an unsurprising turn of events, Darren Hayes has “strenuously” denied unleashing a torrent of racially flavoured abuse at an employee of London restaurant Busaba Eathai.

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 thatgm the particular nature of the allegation is totally abhorrent to him and contrary to everything for which he has stood.”

And if you don’t believe Darren, then believe the good readers of Defamer Australia. Having gotten to know Darren from video clips like That Savage Garden Song With Nonsensical Lyrics Which Appeared On The Soundtrack Of That Juliette Lewis Film, to his more recent solo efforts like The One Where He Runs Around With A Ghettoblaster And Inflicts Pop On The British, our readers – like the nation – are positively behind Darren.

- Darren Hayes…racist…I think not. The man doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.

- Darren Hayes guilty of racism? I doubt it for one minute, he’s always been a huge advocate of human rights of all kinds, including anti racism

- I have no doubt these allegations are a lie. they go against everything he stands for. Darren Hayes wore the aboriginal flag to the Australian Olympics closing ceremony.

Sarcasm aside, we must say that it does sound rather unlike the Darren Hayes we’ve read about in the press all these years. We shall wait and see what the investigation concludes.
