John Galliano Pulls a Mel Gibson and Goes on Anti-Semetic Rant

Yikes.

Though he's one of my favorite designers this is not cool!

Galliano, the designer for Christian Dior, went on a crazy-ass rant in Paris spewing anti-semetic hate at a couple.

According to a police source:
"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 added John would be facing criminal charges and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

It would seem that he - like Mad Mel - was drunk off his ass but you still don't go there, girlfriend!  Racism is never okay.

Dior has since suspended the super-talented designer pending an inquiry.

UPDATE:  He has been fired from the company.
