Embattled Vogue icon Anna Wintour on Monday issued a fawning statement supporting convicted antisemite pal designer John Galliano — calling him "very courageous'' after he finally caved to pressure and called off an upcoming Met Gala exhibit starring him.
"John's decision that the exhibition devoted to his work should not take place at this time is very courageous and a measure of the man he is,'' said the defiant global fashion diva and magazine legend.
"I believe this is the right decision, and both he and the Museum have my full support," Wintour said in her brief remarks posted on the Met Museum's website.
