  "summary": "John Galliano has withdrawn from a planned exhibition of his work at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The exhibition was cancelled following criticism from donors and political leaders over his past antisemitic remarks.\n\nGalliano was convicted in 2011 by a French court of making racist and antisemitic comments. He was also fired from his job as creative director of Dior after the incident surfaced.\n\nGalliano stated that he remains fully accountable for the pain caused by his words, particularly to the Jewish and Asian communities, and that he is deeply sorry. He decided to withdraw from the exhibition to avoid distracting from the Met's work.",
