Now, I am not about to go on record as saying John Galliano was right in saying what he did, but I don't necessarily think he was wrong. I firmly believe that everyone, at at least one point in their life, has made a racist or antisemitic comment. I am not proud of it but I know that I most certainly have. So what is the difference between us and John? He is a world renowned fashion designer who is behind some of the most creative and interesting designs in history, and on the contrary we are not famous, for the time being at least. If you are in the public eye, you have to assume everyone is watching, at all times, you can't get drunk and say what you want to say.
Now, I have to admit I love the comment "Your ugly, and your bag is f****** ugly." I mean that is probably the biggest insult you could ever get from the ex-creative director of Dior. I would be reduced to rubble. I am surprised she even had the strength to hold back the tears and file charges. You must be out of your mind if you think her and her male friend didn't say any rude comments back to him after that. We know he has a very, lets say unique, way of dressing. Your telling me your going to let someone wearing a floor length blond wig, and a pirate costume, complete with parrot and eye patch get away with calling you ugly without making a little comment back? Now that is an outrage, how much possible ammo do you need? Do you want him to hold up cards that say comeback options, I mean he practically already is?
Personally I think it is a very strong coincidence that a week after these charges were filed, this mysterious video of John, drunk, saying "I love Hitler" just happens to surface. I have seen the video, and even though his response to the question "Don't you want peace across the world" of "Not with ugly people" is somewhat comical, he was obviously drunk, they were obviously egging him on, and he took the bait hook, line, and sinker. I mean how hard is it to realize you are the main star of a show with someone holding a camera in your face and asking you interview questions? I don't understand why whoever John was with didn't stop this from happening. I don't believe that John Galliano has to go to a bar by himself, if so John get in contact with me, I'll go out for a drink with you, after you get out of rehab that is. Now that we understand he was basically set up do you really believe that John loves Hitler. I feel bad if he actually does because I am positive Hitler would not love him. I don't believe costumes, wigs, and accessories were part of the Nazi uniform. I'm not sure, I'll check it out though.
So after all of this DRAMA what has happened? For the second year in a row we have lost an amazing designer, and one of the last true showman in the fashion industry. Who will take over at Dior, the answer still remains unknown. Hopefully John will be able to recover from this publicity nightmare. He wouldn't be the first celebrity to do something wrong and then come back stronger than ever.
