Paris Olympics Organisers “Really Sorry“ For ’Last Supper’ As US Sponsor Pulls Out After Backlash

The opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympic Games has sparked a furious backlash from Christian viewers around the world. The 2024 Paris games organisers have apologised to Christian groups angered by a tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony. The tableau had parodied Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous ’The Last Supper’ painting. The segment resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before crucifixion. It featured drag queens, a transgender model and a naked singer who represented the Greek god of wine Dionysus. The parody drew sharp criticism from the Catholic Church and the religious right. #olympics2024 #parisolympics2024 #paris #france #worldnews #games #olympics n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 3:12 “THE LAST SUPPER” SPARKS OUTRAGE 5:03 NETIZENS SEEK TO CLARIFY ‘MISUNDERSTANDING’ AROUND THE LAST SUPPER PARODY Footage: Reuters/AP/IOC CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our wor
