Goodbye Galliano!

John Galliano has been the creative director for Christian Dior for over 10 years now. Today he was fired after a video leaked onto the internet of him being anti-cemitic and claiming he "loves hitler".  Christian Dior released a statement earlier today saying:
"I condemn with the greatest firmness the comments made by John Galliano, in total contradiction with the essential values which have always been defended by Christian Dior."


Natalie Portman who is the face of Dior's latest fragrance and also a jew commented on the video saying:
"I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."
