The famous designer John Galliano was sued by three people. They claim he has used improper and racist language against them. It started when a couple in Paris were attacked by severly improper language. They were assaulted by the designer who yelled angrily at them. After they called the police and sued the designer, another person stepped forward with the same complaint. In the case there is even prove of the attack. The designer was filmed while he was verbally abusing the victim. Eventually the designer was fired, and he is expected at court in June. The reactions are not positive. The famous company Dior fired Galliano from their campaign. An advisor who has worked for him over eight years broke all contact. The designer will probably face over six months in prison.

Opinion
I think that the only reason this item is published because the designer is famous. If he man was not famous this news was not published. According to the article it seems as if the designer is some kind of saint. However he is a man, and being famous does not give his the right to bully everyone else. The designer deserves what came over him. I do not symphatize with him at all. He should be punished like everyone else.
I think the media acts quite harsh towards this designer. They have maybe filmed him, but who knows what these people did to him? no one really seems to know what the story is. The only thing people see is the designer being angry while cursing. I can't really tell what I think of this, since i've not seen what really happened. Therefore, I do think that using improper language is bad. He could have held himself in at least, since people know who he is... purely out of protecting himself.
