Natalie Portman, who has an endorsement deal with Christian Dior, has condemned its head designer John Galliano for anti-Semitic comments.
Galliano was caught on video appearing to taunt fellow patrons at a bar with startling references to Hitler and the Holocaust.
Portman, who is the face of the Miss Dior Cherie fragrance, spoke out against Galliano late Monday.
“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,” said the Black Swan actress in a statement.
“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.”
Galliano has been suspended by the company.
