Natalie Portman no longer wants to be associated with
John Galliano following his alleged anti-Semitic remarks last week. The Jewish actress – who is the face of
Christian Dior’s Miss Dior Cherie fragrance – is appalled by the Dior designer’s actions and doesn’t want anything to with him. Natalie – who wore a Rodarte dress to pick up her
Best Actress Oscar at Sunday’s ceremony, despite being widely tipped to don a Galliano creation – said in a statement: "I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano’s comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, and as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."
