John Galliano suspended by Dior after claims of antisemitic rant [France]

The French fashion house Dior has suspended its star designer, John Galliano, after he was accused of assaulting a couple and making antisemitic insults following a drinking session at a Paris bar…"The House of Dior declares with the greatest firmness its policy of zero tolerance with regard to any antisemitic or racist statement or attitude," the head of Dior…said in a statement…Dior's quick action in suspending Galliano could be explained by a recent outcry over another racist remark for which its parent company…Louis Vuitton-Moet Hennessy [LVMH], was seen as being slow to react.
