\n<\/span><\/p>\nBritish fashion designer John Galliano has been sacked by fashion house Dior following alleged anti-semitic comments he made last week.<\/p>\n
Dior said it had decided to fire him after seeing a video clip allegedly showing the designer making abusive comments in a Paris bar.<\/p>\n
“I very firmly condemn what was said by John Galliano,” said Dior’s chief executive Sidney Toledano.<\/p>\n
A lawyer for the 50-year-old designer said he denied the allegations.<\/p>\n
Toledano said Gallino’s alleged comments “totally contradict the values which have always been defended by Christian Dior.”<\/p>\n
Earlier on Tuesday, Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman said she was “disgusted” at fashion designer John Galliano’s alleged anti-Semetic remarks in a video.<\/p>\n
“I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today,” said Portman, who won the best actress Oscar on Sunday.<\/p>\n
It followed the footage posted online allegedly showing Galliano telling a Paris cafe patron: “I love Hitler.”<\/p>\n
Galliano and Portman have both worked for fashion label Dior.<\/p>\n
Portman is the face of Miss Dior Cherie perfume and has often been seen wearing Dior at red carpet events.<\/p>\n
But at the Academy Awards on Sunday, she chose to wear a dress designed by Black Swan design label, Rodarte.<\/p>\n
“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,” Portman said in her statement.<\/p>\n
“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,” she added.<\/p>\n
Police briefly detained the designer on Thursday night after a couple accused him of making anti-Semitic remarks. He also allegedly traded slaps with them. <\/p>\n
In the video posted online, a man alleged to be Galliano is seen saying to two women: “People like you would be dead today – your mothers, your forefathers would be gassed.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
