Bitch Got Fired: The Galliano Edition

When Natalie Portman speaks, EVERYBODY listens (delivered in sarcasm leftovers wrapped in a take-home swan). The president of Dior announced today that they have taken their relationship John Galliano, tied it to the tracks and cackled as a speeding train ran over it. They have fired John Galliano after the whole "I love Hitler" mess. Their statement from The NY Times:

“I condemn most firmly the statements made by John Galliano which are a total contradiction with the essential values that have always been defended by the House of Christian Dior.”

Dior hasn't announced if they will cancel their show in Paris this week.

As for Galliano's future, who knows. I'm sure he's already getting offers to design Vanilla Gorilla's heil couture line of Nazi uniforms or to exclusively style Qadhafi. But I think Galliano will eventually accept the invitation to become one of Charlie Sheen's goddesses.

Booze and camera phones should not be allowed in the same room. I am sure there are a bunch of people that have said offensive shit but due to someone not holding a phone in their face during their drunken nonsense.. life went on.

Not defending old John-boy but fucking hell.. drunk people say drunk shit. Whether the booze liberates one to sing the song one really likes to sing is another story. Let the man make a case for himself and clear his name/apologise if need be.

As for you Portman, vicious words from a drunkard which leave said drunkard looking like a... bigoted drunkard doesn't trump CHILD RAPE. You'd do well to remember that you sweet, adorable, perfect creature you. Call me.

--thanks awfully--

I am strongly assuming this turd is gay, so i hate to break it to him, but he would have been gassed long before the jewish lady he was insulting. (since he LOVES Hitler so much)....

The House of Dior knew damn well this twisted maggot was racist already, but canned his ass when the shit got public. I love fashion, but it's not surprising to me that a designer could turn out to be a hateful bigot, considering how shallow some of those people are. (not condemning all, but I've known a couple.) Who's going to bankroll you now, you disgusting Nazi prick?

And to the people talking smack about Jewish people, there's a difference between Judaism and Zionism. See Noam Chomsky, for one example.

How do people that look like MAJOR jokes get to tell women what to wear??? He looks like a greasy child molester.

John Gollum is a more fitting name for this troll. He ooog-laaay. Did Dior discover him in an apprentice program in Middle Earth?

Props to Natalie for sticking the shank in his career. I couldn't stand her Bridezilla-earth mother award show circuit tour, but at least she has the balls to call out bigotry when she sees it.

I'm not defending Portman but I bet the only reason why she defended Roman Polansky was because other "respected" actors were. She seems like a follower to me.

Natalie Portman is such a disingenuous hypocrite. She defended Roman Polanski for SHOVING HIS PENIS INTO THE ASSHOLE OF A DRUGGED 13 YEAR OLD GIRL, and thinks that we're suppose to respect her moralistic stance in life?

Gimme a fucking break.

Dior must be pissing itself. I've never heard of a House firing their designer right before Fashion Week. You know they have his designs, they'll probably say because he worked for them, they owned them, and continue with it. I don't agree with his views but he did make beautiful creations for Dior. My favorite was the Marie Antoinette couture show he did a few years ago. It blew me away. The man knows how to cut a dress.

i do think it might be more acceptable to make racist comments about some people than others in our society. but all these things are changing as populations change and as people are made more aware.

That's EXACTLY my point. I'm aware that things are changing now and i certainly didn't claim that everyone in our society is doing the wrong thing.
My point is that there should be more people willing to be vocal about this. We cannot defame one group under the banner of "freedom of speech" and turn to the other side for another.
I believe there should be limitations to what we can actually say while exercising that right. It must NEVER be used to humiliate or disrespect ANY religion, race or a group of people. That's how i feel about it.

Libra, the hate speech laws DO apply to Muslims in France too. Had he said specifically degraded Muslims he would be in pretty much the same boat.

So, while you might think Natalie Portman is a hypocrite, the laws in France cover all minority races and religions.

Yes in this case maybe... but i was referring to generally what usually happens.

Did someone forget to let this asshole and all his supporters know know that if Hitler had his way, he'd be dead too? Sorry but Hitler had a very slim view of who was consider the "master race" and acceptable. Fact is, if Hitler had won, a lot more than Jewish people would have been under attack, including Galliano. Why are people so stupid?

I think i know what you're trying to say, but please don't put everyone here in your little box. i would definitely denounce anyone who advocates killing people--muslims, jews, whoever (hey, i'm against the death penalty). i think people denouncing love of hitler might be ok on the concept that hitler didn't just mess up jew's lives.

i do think it might be more acceptable to make racist comments about some people than others in our society. but all these things are changing as populations change and as people are made more aware.

geez, i'm going to have to bring out my secret human rights identity on this site! if you focus on human rights, you will discover that there are many people in the world fighting for the rights of everybody.

@ Libra - The slur also WAS against Muslims. Well, at least against Arabs. "Asian" is the European term for Arabs, and the woman's boyfriend was part Arab .

all people defending this guy should die of cancer

Libra's picture

Here's a scenario.... lets just assume the slur was against muslims instead of the jews. Would all of you people and the people firing him and disassociating themselves *coughNataliecough* from him would react in the same way??? I highly doubt that!
What you're seeing ladies and gentlemen is HYPOCRISY at its best. While it's okay to rant against a group of people, you'll get axed for voicing your opinion on another!
Sad world we live in today.... just for the record, i'm against disrespecting ANY religion or individual in the name of "freedom of speech" !!!

Well I stand corrected. Cushy, comfy spot in London then. And yes, you are correct.

I have to speak my opinion and then back down, because I too, realize that this kind of speech is usually not going to change, and I kinda forget that people LOVE to use the "i hate jews" angle in their trolling. :\

Wow...delusional much? I could write a big huge ramble here but really, you're not worth the time or effort. I feel ashamed I have to breathe the same air as ignorant assholes like you. Go to Israel, go to Palestine, THEN come back and tell me how you feel. It's pretty easy for you to sit back in your comfy American home and pass judgement on things you know NOTHING about.

As for JG, I'm sure plenty of people knew he was a Jew hater, thus the little amount of outrage. I had no idea, as I thought this fagela was a Jew himself. Just another lesson to keep your ignorant, arrogant asshole mouth SHUT.

Hee. Who knew Galliano was the Mel Gibson of the fashion world? And how stupid was he to have said that stuff in public where there were a million smart phones around him?

As with CBS and Charlie Sheen, there's more to this than just a reaction to rampant anti-Semitism. This was an excuse to jettison his ass. For a while they were lining up people to swear that Galliano is not anti-Semitic because he always treated Jewish people with whom he worked with "gentleness and kindness." I seem to recall several people making similar statements about Gibson after his Jew-bashing "sugartits" episode. This was an attempt to save face and keep what used to be a cash cow.

But when the hate comes out in an irrefutable manner (eg video), why not use it as an excuse to fire his expensive ass and get somebody who is more hungry, just as talented and CHEAPER? The guys at Proenza Schouler and the girls of Rodarte are all under 30 and have made buckets of money for themselves. You KNOW there are more kids out there like them and now it's Dior's chance to snap them up. Galliano is OVER.

Am I the only one who thought he was Jewish before this mess?

This whole thing is just bizarre. I grew up in the Midwest and we just don't have a lot of Jewish people there, so antisemitism has always been sort of confusing to me because the only Jews we were familiar with growing up were on Seinfeld. I honestly can't wrap my head around why a gay Frenchman in 2011 would be brining up Hilter in any context to insult others, as if Hilter wouldn't have gassed him along with the Jews.

When something like this happens, it's usually a long time coming. That Galliano bitch probably never sobered up even once since the turn of the century.

It's quite disappointing.
I always thought racist people were insecure idiots who were unable to achieve anything to feel proud of, but Galliano is truly a genius at what he does.
It was a very stupid way to act, he should have been open about his repulsion for human race, like Lagerfeld; that's less pathetic.

Go to 5th & 47th street in NYC, there's an incredibly fat, homeless guy, usually wearing a

That is if he's not already walking up and down the street talking to himself about them.

He once offered me a can of Sprite when i was taking a smoke break, but it looked rusty, so i declined. :D
