Anti-semitic remarks? I seriously doubt that, for several reasons...

 

[sobriquet87]

Wow. The story is starting to break everywhere.
I was hoping it wasn't true.

 

[Style Savvy]

It's trending on Twitter

 

[CielDeLit]

Yeah he apparently assaulted a couple in a bar, he's released now though. As regards the anti-semitic remarks I really wonder if it's true, some reports claim he was allegedly drunk but it hasn't been confirmed..

Just heard it on the radio, I'm shocked ! The couple was just in a café. So strange ! Apparently it was yesterday.
Here's an article (in french).

wow let me find out john is a thug secretly

 

[Salvatore]

Waouh, that's unreal.
Maybe he won't do those ugly pseudo-ladylike collections anymore since he has been in the jail.

 

[LesAvantGarde]

That's what he gets for churning out the same sh*t for three years now

I sincerely hope this is not true. Anti-Semitic remarks would be the lowest.

Assaulted a couple? As in a couple of toddlers? How threatening could John Galliano possibly be? He's like 4 feet tall and what in the world would his weapons of choice be? Feathers and sequines? I bet his arrest was a fierce hot mess, he'd probably be doing sexy poses while the officers tried to handcuff him.

LOL!!

anyway the telegrah explains what happened, sort of:

John Galliano arrested over 'anti-semitic rant at cafe'
John Galliano, the fashion designer, has been arrested for allegedly making anti-Semitic remarks towards a couple at a Paris cafe.

The 50-year-old was arrested in the French capital's Marais district, which has always been the traditional home of the city's Jewish community.
He is believed to have been drinking heavily in a local bar on Thursday evening when he launched the alleged attack.
Witnesses called police during the incident, which took place in front of dozens of astonished revellers in a busy covered terrace.
A police source said: 'We arrived extremely quickly and managed to break up the disturbance. The man involved was briefly arrested and then released pending charges for assault.
'Witnesses said he swore heavily, using anti-Jewish insults, before attacking a couple. Both have provided witness statements, as have a number of other people at the bar, including staff.'
The source confirmed that Galliano, who has been chief designer at Christian Dior since 1996, was the only person arrested in connection with the incident.
Galliano, who was born in Gibraltar and then brought up in South London, is often seen in the bars and café of the Marais.
He is currently preparing the Christian Dior autumn/winter 2011 collection which will be shown at Paris Fashion Week on March 4.[...]

I agree, it will be terrible if it's true that he made the remarks.

 

[ALAUU]
