Full House star defends Olympics

The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics sparked significant controversy due to a performance interpreted by some, including Candace Cameron Bure, as a blasphemous mockery of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper.' Bure expressed her disappointment on Instagram, stating that the performance was 'disgusting' and saddened her as a Christian. In contrast, fellow 'Full House' star Jodie Sweetin defended the performance, arguing that it was actually inspired by the Greek god Dionysus rather than a parody of the Last Supper. Sweetin criticized the outrage, suggesting that those offended lacked historical knowledge and questioned why the performance could not be seen as a tribute. The Olympics organizers clarified their intent to celebrate a 'grand pagan festival' and apologized for any offense caused. The debate reflects broader cultural tensions surrounding interpretations of art and religion.
