Soon after video surfaced of John Galliano proclaiming his love for Hitler and telling a girl her mothers and forefathers would all be gassed, he was fired from his position of head designer at Christian Dior. The fact that people like Natalie Portman, who signed to promote a Dior perfume and said she was “deeply shocked and disgusted” and no longer wanted to be associated with him, didn’t help either.
“I very firmly condemn what was said by John Galliano, which totally contradicts the values which have always been defended by Christian Dior,” Christian Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano said in a statement.
Paris prosecutors are expected to decide by the end of the week whether Galliano will face trial over Thursday’s incident in the trendy Marais neighborhood of Paris.
Maybe no one finds the humor in him saying “I love Hitler” because Hitler wasn’t known to be gay friendly. The only way Hitler would have reciprocated his love was by giving him a 5 second head start before shooting him.
How much do you think it pained Galliano to dress as a Rabbi during this fashion show? You can almost see the look of disgust in his face or is that just the alcohol.
