Nearly 14 years ago, John Galliano, then the creative director of Dior, was sitting on the terrace of a popular Paris restaurant when another customer began filming him. He was drunk, and he was hurling antisemitic words at the person filming and her friends, who were Jewish. The video resurfaced a few months later, in early 2011, when another such incident occurred. (In fact, similar drunken and profane rages occurred a total of three times.)
