John Galliano’s career is in a downward spiral after an unfortunate night at a Paris bar. Dior’s erstwhile brightest star designer finds himself in violation of French laws about public insults based on religion, race or origins. He was filmed hurling profanity and racial insults. Galliano is shocked at his behavior and claims that he has no memory of the entire affair. Claiming that he himself was a victim of prejudice for being gay, he insists that no discriminatory thoughts had ever crossed his mind while sober. He attributes his unfortunate conduct to addiction to pills and alcohol. He resorted to drink as a way to relieve stress and escape from the pressures of his job after the death of both his partner and his father.
