Natalie Portman 'disgusted' by Galliano's remarks

PARIS (AP) - March 1, 2011

Portman says in a statement that "as an individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way."

Both stars work with /*Christian Dior*/. /*Natalie Portman*/ is spokesmodel for Miss Dior Cherie perfume. /*Galliano*/ has been suspended as Dior's creative director pending an investigation into an alleged anti-Semitic incident in a Paris cafe last week.

Portman's statement was provided Tuesday to The Associated Press after a video posted online showed Galliano, in a different incident, drunkenly telling a cafe patron, "I love Hitler."

Portman won the best actress Oscar on Sunday for "Black Swan."
