John Galliano Suspended From Dior After Racist Remarks

John Galliano, who has been the chief designer at Christian Dior since 1996, has been suspended of his duties following an arrest on Thursday. Galliano was suspended from the fashion house after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman and making anti-Semitic remarks at an outdoor café in Paris.

“The House of Dior declares with the greatest firmness its policy of zero tolerance with regard to ay anti-Semitic or racist statement or attitude,” Dior boss Sidney Toledano said in a statement. “Pending the outcome of the [police] enquiry, Christian Dior has suspended John Galliano from all duties.”

Yikes, that’s two celebs in one day accused of anti-Semitism! Not good, guys. Not good.

According to French news reports, Galliano, 50, was detained in the French capital’s fashionable Marais district after he allegedly verbally accosted a couple in a bar called The Pearl. Allegedly, Galliano had been drinking and told a woman and told her she and her purse were ugly. It’s not clear why Galliano approached the woman, who was dining with her husband, or what exactly was said. The woman filed a police report.

Police are investigating the case before it is handed over to the public prosecutor’s office.
