Designer Galliano Sentenced In Anti-Semitism Case

Disgraced couture king sentenced to pay a total of 6,000 Euros for anti-Semitic behavior

Disgraced former Christian Dior designer John Galliano has been sentenced to pay a total of 6,000 Euros ($8,400) in suspended fines after a French court found him guilty of anti-Semitic behavior.

The charges, that he spewed anti-Semitic insults in a bar, cost the fashion icon his job as Dior's creative director and roiled the fashion world.

Galliano was charged for "public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity" stemming from two separate incidents at the Paris watering hole.

Galliano did not attend Thursday's proceedings.

He is being fined simply for speaking his mind? His DRUNKEN mind I should add.

Gee, they would collect a whole bunch of money if that were allowed in the U.S.

We bad mouth people as a kind of sport.

Oh well, it's France.
