Christina Aguilera found herself in some legal trouble on Tuesday morning after being taken into police custody for public intoxication while her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, was arrested for driving under the influence.
TMZ initially reported that Aguilera was arrested and booked at 2:45 in the morning after being taken into custody in West Hollywood, but now conflicting reports say that Aguilera was detained, but not arrested. According to the LA Times, she was released on $250 bail.
There has been much speculation about Aguilera’s well-being lately, as various reports from sources and friends claimed the songstress has been spiraling out of control since her divorce from husband Jordan Bratman.
From The Sun:
The British designer - an alleged Jew hater - then tells a horrified woman: "People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f****** gassed."
His tirade was videoed by a friend of the people he was insulting - who were French and Italian, but not Jewish.
Galliano, 50, was at the same Paris bar where he allegedly launched a vicious verbal attack on two people last week - which led to him being arrested and suspended by fashion label Christian Dior.
After stating he loves Hitler and making the gassing remark, a woman is heard to say, 'Oh my God' before asking slurring Galliano if he had a problem.
He said: "With you. You're ugly." Asked where he was from, he said: "Your a***hole."
The man who filmed his outburst told The Sun: "Galliano was sitting alone nursing his drink, when a few of us sat at the next table.
"Galliano kept intruding, throwing in comments about us and what we were saying. We knew who he was. He's instantly recognisable.
"We were stunned by what Galliano was saying, but then he started making vile anti-Semitic comments. His words were disgusting. He made it clear the Italian girls weren't welcome and should go home. This was pure racism."
Last Thursday Galliano allegedly insulted Geraldine Bloch, 35, and threatened to kill her pal Philippe Virgitti, 41, in La Perle Bar. Ms Bloch told cops he called her a "dirty Jew face".
Galliano has launched legal action against French Ms Bloch and Mr Virgitti, who is of Asian origin, for defamation.
PARIS (Reuters) – Christian Dior suspended its star fashion designer John Galliano on Friday pending an inquiry into accusations he hurled racist remarks at a couple in a Paris bar.
About a week before Galliano was due to present Dior's collection in Paris, police were called to a bar in the city's trendy Marais district on Thursday evening where they found the designer doling out a drunken torrent of abuse to a couple, a police source told Reuters.
Galliano's lawyer Stephane Zerbib said two complaints had been filed with police against his client for making racist or anti-Semitic comments -- a crime in France -- but he said Galliano "firmly and formally" denied doing so.
"Dior affirms with the utmost conviction its policy of zero tolerance toward any anti-Semitic or racist words or behavior," Dior Chief Executive Sidney Toledano said.
"Pending the results of the inquiry, Christian Dior has suspended John Galliano from his responsibilities," the fashion house, part of billionaire Bernard Arnault's LVMH luxury empire, added in a statement.
The British designer was out at a no-frills drinking spot popular with wannabe models when the incident took place.
He was taken to a police station for a sobriety test, which confirmed he had been drinking, but was released without being charged and police escorted him home, the police source said.
