John Galliano, drunk anti-Semite: “I love Hitler”

wenn3031815

Last Thursday night, John Galliano was arrested and held briefly for assault and anti-Semitic hate speech in Paris. Eyewitnesses and victims claimed that Galliano had said various crap about Asians, Jews and handbags, but Galliano’s rep pulled a Lohan and crack-denied all of that junk. Well… it turns out that Galliano really is a total dirt bag racist/anti-Semite. Shocking, I know. I shall call this “The Full Gibson”:

Drunk off his ass. For real. He’s slurring and making little drunk bitchfaces. Not that being drunk excuses saying “I love Hitler.” I mean, Mel Gibson didn’t even say that!

John Galliano’s troubles may have multiplied over the weekend as a second complaint of alleged anti-Semitism was formally lodged against Dior’s chief designer – and a bombshell video surfaced showing the designer declaring: “I love Hitler.”

On Friday, Galliano was suspended by Dior following his overnight arrest on charges of assault and making anti-Semitic and racial remarks to a couple during a reputed sparring match in the Paris café La Perle.

The undated video obtained and posted online by Britain’s Sun is said to have been filmed in the same café but not on the same evening as Galliano’s arrest.

In the cell-phone video, the designer, appearing to be seated at a bar, is seen insulting people. Slurring his words, he tells them, “People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f—ing gassed.”

During the Thursday night incident that led to arrest of Galliano, 50, and prompted a police probe, the designer allegedly assaulted a woman, pulled her hair and told her she had “a dirty Jew face.” He also reportedly hurled racial slurs at her companion, who is of partial Asian ethnicity.

Over the weekend, a second police complaint was lodged against Galliano, when a 48-year old woman came forward, asserting he had subjected her to a similar tirade at the same locale on Oct. 9. Several eyewitnesses from this earlier episode have confirmed to PEOPLE the authenticity of her charge.

On Monday afternoon, police in Paris’s third arrondisement (municipal district), where the incidents allegedly occurred, convened a hearing to draw together all the parties and their attorneys.

Though none of those allegedly on the receiving end of Galliano’s outbursts are, in fact, Jewish, under French law the making of anti-Semitic remarks qualifies as “incitement to racial prejudice,” a criminal offense that potentially carries a sentence of up to six months in prison.

[From People]

Okay, so this looks bad. This is the kind of “holy crap” moment where you’re going through your mind’s fashion files to think about which celebrity women always wear Galliano for Dior, and whether or not they too are horrible drunk anti-Semites. That’s where it’s going next – people are going to look at some of the major celebrities who have worked with Galliano over the years, and those celebrities are going to be asked, “Did you know Galliano was so horrible?” Imagine asking Nicole Kidman that. Or Charlize. Or Marion Cotillard.

    This guy is obviously a total puke but the women talking to him were not offended. They were enjoying his lunacy and egging him on.

    The guy was looking for the most gutteral comments to make to sicken the women but they didn’t bite.

    I don’t think he should be prosecuted for what he said. He’s “tatooed” himself and put himself behind barbed wire.

    Absolutely not. The guy is obviously an antisemite and I think it’s his right to be one as long as he doesn’t incite others to any kind of harm. This man should be shunned by anyone other than white supremisists.

    The incident may have been setup by a jealous designer who planted a couple of Jewish women at the table to record him but he still sat on his own shank.

    I do not persecute him for his beliefs, but I don’t want anything to do with him.

    I doubt designers would do anything less than brown-nose the stars they dress.

    Maybe there is just a surge in anti-Semite comments in the press lately from celebrities but I’m amazed it still exists to this day and I’m a bit confused by the hate. I mean I’m not naive in thinking racism is very prevalent to this day but anti-semitism?

    It makes me sick to hear him talking about people getting gassed and his love for Hitler. These aren’t beliefs.

    @ Rita – He didnt’ make those remarks to Jewish women. The women were Italian. There were two separate incidents of Galliano making antisemitic remarks to people in bars. This one was filmed weeks ago. The other one involved him pulling the hair of a non-Jewish woman and threatening her half-Arab boyfriend with death.

    Funny cuz Hitler wasn’t big on homosexuals either. Pretty sure he gassed a few of them too. On the other hand I am glad I live in a country where (so far) you cannot be arrested and jailed for being an a^*hole. It realy isn’t as great an idea as it sounds. Would love to see this guys career trashed though. That is more appropriate and ultimately more devistating to a guy like this.

    I understand the confusion. I grew up in LA where the Jewish community was seriously priveledged and I was completely unaware of how historically wide spread it was. I had just never thought about it. Its centuries old and still wide spread in many parts of Europe. If you read history beyond just WWII it is jaw dropping the way they were treated.

    @Tvf #39

    How very generous of you to take the time to assist me by posting that link to a discussion on antisemitism. It was very helpful and confirmed my suspicion that like all other begotry and prejudice, antisemitism is built on ignorance and a lack of self-awareness in ones thoughts and values. In other words, it’s all bullsh!t but it’s serious. Antisemitism is common in its affect but unique in it’s breadth and depth of history. After 5,000 years, you’d think we would know better.

    Thanks much. My life is better today because I’m a bit more enlightened.

In the past, the stereotypes (which these days tend to focus on money, etc) were also about that — that Jews killed and ate Christian children, that they had horns, etc. As someone up thread pointed out, there is a very long history of anti-semitism in Europe; it didn’t just pop up with Hitler.

    @DGO : I haven’t been able to stand Marion Cotillard ever since she talked about 911 and how she thought it was a hoax. And I’m not even American! Add to that the fact that ever since winning the Oscars she’s been acting like such a snob towards French media be it on TV, with French reporters ..etc. I remember two Oscars ago, French TV was getting interviews with the stars as they were going down the red carpet, they got the Brange, Anthony Hopkins and all the great stars and Marion just walked right past them! Guillaume Canet took the time to talk but not her. Her own country!

    As for Galliano, he is a sad little man. And Dior is never going to take him back. It’s impossible now that there’s proof. I don’t think Dior or the women wearing his creations were aware of all this before. You don’t risk you’re reputation over a scum like this. Dior is tolerence Zero and seeing their quick action on Friday even with the fashion week and all, I believe them.

    @curmudgeon – correction, antisemitism is MILLENIA old, not centuries. They have been disenfranchised since they began over 3,000 years ago. Remember Moses? The reason they are wealthy now is because they were not allowed to own land, so, making spectacular lemonade out of lemons, they became bankers – and became very successful at it. People are jealous of their success and have been for eons.

    I say this as an armchair historian, and I am not Jewish but if I were I’d be damn proud of it. I know many very upstanding members of the community and they take care of it and give back.

    @ gg: Just to clarify – the Jews actually became bankers because handling money was thought to be dirty at one time, so nobody really cared for it. When people saw how successful the Jews were and how rich they got, the religious hate that stemmed back from the “Christ killer” days just got another dimension.

    That, and the fact that they invested in books/arts and learning/sciences because they were not allowed to own land – as you already mentioned.

    Warning, [rant] ahead:

    One needn’t look far, the Christian fundamentalists in many US states are still hugely intolerant toward progressive Jews and they absolutely hate the orthodox ones, and are actively trying to convert both because they think they’re somehow superior, when they’re not.

    This is the 21st century, and one really should do away with all kinds of religion in public. Most people, especially the born-agains, come off as so insincere and preachy.

    I can’t believe I’m going to say this: but is there ANY chance he was trying to be “sarcastic” when he said “I love Hitler?” I’m asking because (1) I CANNOT (or at least don’t want to) believe anyone would actually say that, especially a gay man (Hitler killed plenty of gays in those ovens); (2) He really, really is loaded which could have caused the intended “sarcastic” delivery to fall flat; and (3) the girl clearly asks him if he agrees with Hitler — which, wtf kind of question that? Maybe he intended to say “Yeah, I LOOOOOVE Hitler” with a big-old eye-roll to show her how stupid the question was.

    Let me be clear: if he actually is an anti-semitic d-bag, then he can rot in hell for all I care. My point is: I’m just HOPING that someone who has gotten as far as he has in the fashion world cannot actually hold these views.

  67. jinni says:

    The two main reason I hear from people who hate Jews are:

    1. They “killed” Jesus.
    2. They control all of the money.

    I never understood why the Jews were the only ones blamed for what happened to Jesus, but no one ever hates the Romans that arrested and crucified him. Then I learned that back when Christianity was being accepted by the Roman empire there were many different types of Christianity competing for dominance (ex. coptic Christians are one of the other surviving forms of Christianity). The branch that had won and gained official status in the Empire (which then became Catholicism and Protestantism) was unforutanetly also very anti-Jewish in its beliefs and practices.

    As for the money thing. Back in many parts of medieval Europe it was considered a sin to lend money especially with interest, this was called usury. The church forbad this practice, so no Christians were allowed to do this. On the other hand, Jews were moving into Europe and the european lawmakers prohibited Jews from getting jobs by making it difficult to take part in certain trades ( most guilds probably didn’t allow Jews to join). So, some Jews began making a living off of moneylending because that was one of the few thing they were allowed to do to make a living since they weren’t Christians. Many excelled at it and every since then the sterotype of the powerful, rich, Jewish banker has existed.

    I’m surprised at the posters here wondering about the anti-semitism & where it comes from. Are the history classes that bad in school these days? Jewish people have a long history of enslavement and persecution(see: ancient Egypt). Further, with the rise of Christianity (which did not allow charging for interest on loans), Jewish people (whose religion did not ban charging interest) became the “money lenders.” This, in turn, resulted in irrational hate by the non-Jews, who viewed the Jews as “greedy.” (When, in fact, they were just good business men in a time when the Catholic church & business were too intertwined). So, Jewish people became “scape goats” for the non-Jews, mainly due to jealousy/resentment at their community’s success. Also, there was bs propaganda thrown in to incite further hatred that the “Jews killed Jesus” (when in fact, Jesus had to die to fulfill the scriptures & it was the Romans who carried out the execution, but whatever). So, by the time Hitler rose to power in Germany, when the vast majority of people were suffering from the terrible economy left over from WWI, the Jews (most wealthy — but not all were — the perception, though, was certainly that they were all wealthy) were the easy scapegoats once again. They had been scapegoated for thousands of years. And to anyone who doesn’t think anti-semitism is alive and well in this country in this day & age and I age, I point to Jessie Jackson referring to NYC as “hymie town” not 15 years ago.

    Now, I’m not giving you all here a thorough history on the plight of the Jewish people — just a quick synopsis. You really should look it up for yourselves.

    religious fundamentalists are supportive of Israel because they believe that international hatred of Israel will bring on the rapture more quickly, and they want the rapture. That’s the short version. WE are not talking about all Christians here by a long shot, and no moderate Christian has a hatred of the Jewish people for any reason. We are talking here about the Christian fundamentalists who believe that Jesus rode on dinosaurs. No joke.

    I completely agree with you. I don’t mean to make any blanket statements, or offend anyone… but my own experiences with a whole family of pastors (pentecostal churches, Christian), has caused organized religion to make me crazy.

    But back to Galliano… It’s really sad… he’s completely ruined what’s been an incredibly successful career. There’s no way Dior is taking him back, now… & even if he goes off on his own, I’m not sure any celebrities would risk association with him after this mess.
    ——-
    @Luci“now we now why Dior threw him to the gutter so quick. They already new about this mess.”

    You really have a good point. I hadn’t really thought about how quickly they removed him from production/promotion, & what reasons (besides appearing to be ‘doing the right thing’ to save their own asses) were behind it. All these previous issues are coming to light now…

    It sounds like they’ve allowed him to get away with doing this sort of thing before.

    I have the feeling his antisemitism was a well known thing, this can’t be the first time he’s drunk and starts shouting his love for Hitler,maybe people at Dior knew everything. But this is the first time somebody is able to prove it,so I suppose he will have to apologize, maybe even go to a rehab and everything will be ok.

    I feel that Galliano is a self hater. He is too full of himself and his qualities and doesn’t feel validated by mere mortals in real life outside the fashion world, who in his view make “fashion faux pas” by owning an ugly handbag for instance. He feels he can attack people for this and has therefore lost his sense of reality.

    He expresses his self hatred and loathing through a terrible event that has been going on throughout history, the killing and hating of jews and other minorities. He is projecting this on other people who he considers less because they don’t live up to the outrageous standards of the fashion world. He himself probably can’t live up to it himself, but nevertheless he feels it’s justified to judge others by how they look and making statements about who is ugly and who’s not.

    The guy is suffering from God complex. He seeks perfection but lives in an imperfect world and is confronted by it as soon as he enters a bar with regular people.

    My experience is when people choose to hate someone else, they hate themselves as well. The guy obviously thinks he is ugly himself, inside and out. It seems he doesn’t accept himself and needs an outlet.

    Whether he is a real antisemite or not, it would be a good idea for him to seek councelling for his issues.

    This is what gets me. What the hell is a ‘jew face’? So stupid to even say that.
    I think he is finished at LVMH (owner of the Dior label). I don’t think Arnault will look the other way on this issue, especially with the Hitler issue.

    @ Jinni. The other reason why Christians have issues (not all Christians, only those who prefer to see the world in stereotypes and prefer not to think) with Jewish people isn’t just limited to the idea of Christ (I mean there is no real proof that Christ even existed), but also to Christian propaganda that painted Jews as people who ate their own children -I know, insane propaganda, but the overall result of that propaganda produces an image of a stereotype of people who are ruthless to the degree of being apathetic. And it is stupid to make a generalisation like that, but the Roman Catholic church was doing that centuries ago.

    He looks middle-eastern in the face in that top photo, like a younger version of Osama Bin Laden in the face minus the long beard and turban, so why would he be saying he loves Hitler, when Hitler would have gassed him.

    …I’m sure as hell not taking up for anyone who makes hateful comments, as that was just plain wrong, period. I do understand that bad-mouthing a religion followed by people your job depends on is probably the point of this…

    But isn’t this sort of comment propagating a stereotype as well? I mean, just being Jewish alone doesn’t mean someone is necessarily wealthy… Categorizing human being’s traits & lifestyle solely based on their religious beliefs is something that was done through propaganda to negative effect.

    The way it’s worded simultaneously makes it sound as though those of other religious beliefs aren’t as successful, simply because they aren’t Jewish… Which is an unfair judgment to make, & plays right into developing people’s prejudices. But perhaps I’m misunderstanding what you were trying to put across?

    mmmm, Why is that in a free world we can’t say whatever we want and do whatever we want? If he don’t likes jewish or asians, so what? If he likes Hitler…so what? If he’s drunk…so what? Who’s hurt by this?…NO ONE. I know a person who likes Obama and nobody say anything!…and another who admire Gadaffi, and no one say anything neither!…..Give me a break with all this BS!

    This is pretty awful. This is an awfully irresponsible, stupid and insulting thing to do, but I’m going to be honest; John Galliano is an amazing designer. I absolutely love his works and although I do think he should have to pay the consequences, I hope he does end up returning to Dior.
