Unless you live under a rock you will of heard the stories about John Galliano's anti semitic comments while in a bar in France. Onlookers, pictures and eye witness accounts have all come out of the wood work but now a video has been posted online which was recorded a few days after the first incident which shows Galliano heckling abuse at a couple a few tables across..... watch below...
... it has now been reported that Galliano has been fired from Dior and Oscar winner and face of "Miss Dior Cherie" Natalie Portman has distanced herself from him, claiming she will in no way be associated with him in the future.

The thing I find confusing and a little disturbing about this whole thing (besides the obvious) is that as a gay man who has undoubtedly faced discrimination somewhere in his years of life, how can he inflict the same ignorance on somebody else? His words during this little tirade were: "I love Hitler. People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed." I guess he forgot that he would be gassed along with them for being homosexual.
Completely right and i am gob smacked that someone like him would say things like this... such a shame as i always admired his work as a designer!!
What are your thoughts on this???
