Stars React to Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony ‘Last Supper’ Drama

While Olympic Opening Ceremony organizers said they wanted to send a message of love and unity, some critics like Candace Cameron Bure, think otherwise

As Paris Olympic athletes continue competing for medals, event organizers find themselves defending portions of the Opening Ceremony.

According to organizers, the scene — that featured DJ, producer and LGBTQ+ icon Barbara Butch wearing a silver headdress as drag artists and dancers surrounded her — did not have any ill intention.
