Posting photos of the performance in her Instagram stories, Kangana Ranaut said, “The Paris Olympics is under fire for including a child in their hyper-sexualized, blasphemous rendition of The Last Supper.An apparent child could be seen joining the drag queens during the performance. They also showed a naked man painted blue as Jesus and mocked Christianity. Leftists totally hijacked Olympics 2024. Shame.”
The BJP MP from Mandi also posted a photo of a man covered in blue paint. The actor commented, “Naked body painted Christ at the Olympics opening in Paris.”
In another post, Kangana remarked, “This is how France welcomed the world for the 2024 Olympics… What message are they trying to send? Welcome to the world of Satan? Is this their intention?”
The actor further shared a collage of the performances, captioning it, “The Olympics opening was all about promoting homosexuality. I’m not against homosexuality, but I don’t understand how the Olympics are connected to any sexuality. Why is a global event celebrating human excellence being overshadowed by discussions of sex? Why can’t sex remain a private matter? Why does it need to be a national identity? This is bizarre!”
Ranaut’s comments echoed those of many, who felt that the performance was an insult to Christians. However, neither the Paris Olympics organisers nor the performers have confirmed that their act was a rendition of The Last Supper.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk also weighed in, calling the performance “extremely disrespectful to Christians.” Even the performance of Lady Gaga didn’t assuage the furious netizens, who called it “the equivalent of defecating on the French flag.”
