French authorities investigate death threats and cyber harassment against Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony director, Thomas Jolly, for a tableau sparking outrage among religious groups.
The scene at the ceremony that parodied The Last Supper featured drag queens, a transgender model, and a naked singer as Dionysus, leading to backlash from religious and far-right groups.
Paris 2024 organisers apologized, clarifying no intent to disrespect any religious group, as Jolly explained the scene aimed to depict a pagan feast associated with the gods of Olympus.
Barbara Butch, a DJ involved in the ceremony, filed complaints against those harassing and threatening her for the controversial tableau.
