“Full House” star Jodie Sweetin defended the drag queen Last Supper parody at 
the Paris Olympics after her fellow costar Candace Cameron Bure slammed it as 
“disgusting.”

During the opening ceremony at the 2024 Summer Olympics, a scene modeled 
after The Last Supper opened with an obese woman wearing an aureole as Jesus 
surrounded by drag queens as the Apostles, a decapitated head representing 
Marie Antoinette of the French Revolution, and drag queens dancing around 
children.

“Tell me you don’t know about art or history,” Sweetin wrote in a July 29 
Instagram Story per E! News, “without TELLING me you don’t know about art or 
history.”

Her post also included a video that started circulating online after 
Christians blasted the offensive scene, claiming that it wasn’t religious but 
inspired by the ancient Greek God Dionysus, who represents “feasting, 
festivity and ritual theater.”

Sweetin’s post comes one day after “Fuller House” star Candace Cameron Bure 
took to Instagram to blast the anti-Christian scene, as previously reported.

“I love the Olympic Games,” Bure said, mentioning that her husband Valeri 
Bure, a retired professional hockey player, and several other family members, 
were Olympic competitors.

“The Olympic Games have always brought me so much joy. It’s the best of the 
best athletes in the world competing for the title,” she added.

“So to watch such an incredible and wonderful event that’s gonna take place 
over the next two weeks and see the opening ceremonies completely blaspheme 
and mock the Christian faith with their interpretation of the Last Supper was 
disgusting,” Bure continued. “And it made me so sad. And someone said, ‘You 
shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it.’ And I’m like, ‘Trust me. It 
makes me mad.’ But I’m more sad, because I’m sad for souls.”

She also mentioned in her post that some followers claimed the opening 
ceremonies were not mocking Da Vinci’s famous “Last Supper” painting, but 
said she’s “not buying it” and she doesn’t “see how [Dionysus] relates to 
unifying the world through competitive sports and [is] acceptable for 
children to watch.”

The Paris Olympics admitted on Saturday the blasphemous scene was inspired by 
da Vinci’s famous mural, then tried to walk it back on Monday, the New York 
Post reported.

Following the backlash against the Olympics, Anne Descamps, a spokesperson 
for the Paris Olympics, said at a press conference, “If people have taken any 
offense we are really sorry.”

“Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious 
group. (The opening ceremony) tried to celebrate community tolerance,” 
Descamps told reporters, via Reuters. “We believe this ambition was 
achieved.”
