the sun- FASHION guru John Galliano was filmed having a vile racist rant during which he declared: "I love Hitler." The British designer - an alleged Jew hater - then tells a horrified woman: "People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed."
His tirade was videoed by a friend of the people he was insulting - who were French and Italian, but not Jewish.
Galliano, 50, was at the same Paris bar where he allegedly launched a vicious verbal attack on two people last week - which led to him being arrested and suspended by fashion label Christian Dior.
After stating he loves Hitler and making the gassing remark, a woman is heard to say, 'Oh my God' before asking slurring Galliano if he had a problem.
He said: "With you. You're ugly." Asked where he was from, he said: "Your a***hole."
The man who filmed his outburst told The Sun: "Galliano was sitting alone nursing his drink, when a few of us sat at the next table.
"Galliano kept intruding, throwing in comments about us and what we were saying. We knew who he was. He's instantly recognisable
"We were stunned by what Galliano was saying, but then he started making vile anti-Semitic comments. His words were disgusting. He made it clear the Italian girls weren't welcome and should go home. This was pure racism."
Last Thursday Galliano allegedly insulted Geraldine Bloch, 35, and threatened to kill her pal Philippe Virgitti, 41, in La Perle Bar. Ms Bloch told cops he called her a "dirty Jew face".
Galliano has launched legal action against French Ms Bloch and Mr Virgitti, who is of Asian origin, for defamation.
The fact that this guy is racist does not suprise me in the least. Isn't blatant racism a corner stone of high fashion? You know what's fucked up though? Nobody is talking about how these people with the camera set him up. Think about it. Fashion icon gets tanked one night at his favorite bar, calls some gal a "dirty Jew face" and threatens to kill her pal, and gets arrested. Then the incident becomes an international news story. Now fast forward a few days, this group of instigators spots him at the bar, waits for him to get shitfaced again, stick a camera in his face, and get him to say some controversial statements. And guess what? Incident becomes an international news story. These guys knew exactly what they were doing. These amatuer papparazzi's probably even brought up Hitler first. And they were being so obnoxious that Galliano finally said "I love Hitler" in an effort to get rid of them. Also, how do we know he meant Jewish people when he said "people like you would be gassed"? Maybe he meant annoying bastards who stick a camera in your face while you're trying to get your drink on. Who knows, maybe this guy's not even racist, just a victim of a smear campaign. Dude looks pretty rational to me.
