The downfall of John Galliano following antisemitic insults

In February 2011, John Galliano is arrested in Paris for racist and antisemitic remarks made on a café terrace. Alcohol and multiple addictions reduced the fashion designer to a state of total abandonment according to his defense, which explains his behavior by the deaths of his father and a close friend. He finally receives on September 8, 2011, a 6,000 euro suspended fine and loses his Legion of Honor.
