The Metropolitan Museum of Art cancelled an exhibition the Costume Institute had planned to host, according to BBC World.

Galliano was convicted in 2011 after making antisemitic and anti-Asian remarks toward a French couple in February 2011, Hyperallergic reported. The conviction carried a €6,000 ($6,962) fine, according to the site.

BBC World noted the cancellation is being reported alongside his prior hate speech conviction.
