Paris Olympics organisers apologise for opening ceremony's Last Supper parody

- Paris 2024 organisers have apologised to Catholics and Christian groups angered by a kitsch tableau in the Olympic Games opening ceremony that parodied Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting. The segment, which resembled the biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his apostles sharing a last meal before his crucifixion, featured drag queens and a singer made up as the Greek god of wine, Dionysus. This drew dismay from the Catholic church and the religious right in US.
The creative director of the opening ceremony, Thomas Jolly, said: 'I did not intend to be subversive or to mock or shock … In France we can believe or not believe, in France we have a lot of rights and I wanted to convey those values throughout the ceremony.' - Sport
It's olympics, not a pride parade. They all should resign from their post.
Wrong, hate much?
Cry about it😁
I am having problems relating the two. It was an active fashion runway not a table, there was no food, there was a DJ with a mixer on the runway, there were way more than 13 people, none of the outfits were like the Last Supper, what am I missing? It's coming across as a way to spread hate to the LGBT+ community.
Exactly 💯
Your comment is not helpful. Stop hate
That's not an apology, that's a "we succeeded and we will do it again"
Ikr? ugh
Exactly. Enjoy the future where people arent persecuted and hated.
No apology is needed. You can relax now and untwist your knickers.
Wow great comment! Spot on 👌
👆🏼This! Just watch, they always do it again. They can’t help it.😂
"If anyone was offended, we are sorry" - That is a classic example of a non-apology.
They’re not apologizing. They’re excusing themselves. They’re absolutely disgusting.
I couldn’t agree more
cry
Not even excusing. They justify themselves.
@@Laurie-r8v Honestly...I found it to just be predictable....
Cry
How is this an apology? The director had zero regrets
Why would he? Freedom of expression.
@@JopJio because the title says "apologise". That's the point, it doesn't match the content
@@JopJiothis was the worst opening ceremony ever
True
@@JopJio a mockery of a religion isn’t freedom of expression
It’s a disgrace
In other words, anyone who objected is an intolerant peasant who just doesn’t get it. Got it.
M no it just means edification might be in order
True
Yep
Indeed. They are.
Yup, you got it.
There is no apology acceptance. they knew what the performances were going to be beforehand. Someone had to approve and they did before ANY backlash! It’s disgusting!
I am french ,living in the south of france and i can say french people is disgusted and angry by this masquerade !
Be mad. LOADS of French people celebrate diversity and are not triggered by it the way you clearly are.
@@diepiriyelmao not everything has to contain LGBT elements you guys are really ruining everything, all groups are watching this opening ceremony, this is very inappropriate and you, keep supporting your heresy
I am happy you clarify this, I was starting to hate France
Sadly people see France=Gay
Basically, you demand tolerance, respect, and inclusion by being intolerant, disrespectful, and divisive. Got it.
Great point!
Welcome the the modern leftist mindset
The Marxist manifesto
They don’t represent all
@@tammyjo6056 When has any religion demonstrated tolerance?
There was no apology there from either party. There was only "sorry you were offended by our wokeness, WE were being 'inclusive', therefore you were not" disgusting hypocrisy 🤡🤡💩
I mean it’s not an apology but it’s not hypocritical
and apparently was about our "rights"
Thats not even wokeness, thats sick, pure evil and hate being rubbed in our faces!
@@finbarrsheehan8304 calling yourself inclusive while excluding the entire Christian population is hypocrisy.
@@finbarrsheehan8304 yeah it clearly was
That's not an apology. The guy defended what he did.
Sorry, this is NOT an acceptable apology. This whole thing is unnaturally, creepy and disturbing.
The last supper has had hundreds probably thousands of interpretations, cry about it 😂
False. Its not an apology at all.
He doesnt care.
cry
@@90210bryan Clearly those many hundred thousands do not have the same interpretation as the dude on 1:00.
His wife's bf must be proud of him.
If someone with your profile pic say it must be true.
They did not say they apologize for the Last Supper parody; on the contrary, they said they succeeded with the artwork. The only thing they regret is that not everyone is enthusiastic about it.
And rightly so.
Freedom of speech and expression. Europe is not Christian but secular. If you dont like it, feel free to go to the vatican😂😂😂
@JopJio freedom of speech, as long as it does not invade other people's right. So there
@@JopJio enjoy freedom of speech until they cancel you when the moral police (the left) don’t enjoy what you have to say! It doesn’t go both ways. The opening ceremony was a hate crime against the west and moral historical values. Not needed at a sporting event!
@@JopJio there's definitely a difference between freedom of speech and freedom of mockery
Imagine the outrage If it was anything other than Christian beliefs?? 🤔
It's no wonder that nobody else takes the french seriously anymore. They've been reduced to joke status.
Nobody ever really did to begin with. This is why the Nat Soc's marched right into their country without any trouble at all lol.
Ok, what's really really bothering you? There's a lot more than the opening of the Olympics at the source of your statement. Let it all out!
@@edb3255people like you
The French enjoy an amazing quality of life that we can only just barely imagine in the US. They are not a "joke" to anyone in the rest of the world. We are.
If they are so "inclusive", why did they spit in the face of only one religion?
Boohoo
Its not based off the last supper, it's based off the GREEK feast of dionysis, stop assuming everything is about your religion
Because it’s the truth
@@cdills3454 Biden supporter😂
@@mariah6608
Nah. It’s probably one his relatives
Pathetic and embarrassing. "Apology" not accepted. France should never hold the olympics again.
It wasn't even an apology. Just an "we succeeded in our performance but were sorry you aren't enthusiastic about it as we are"
You took the words out of my thoughts i love it
A TOTAL TRAVESTY AND BLASPHEMY!!!
They're All going down and faster than later 🎉🎉🎉
Hopefully 2030 is better since its not in Paris.
@@loganmanderfield1162 I worry as LA is next on the list. Ugh.
That's not an apology
As a Greek I am sorry that in the Olympic games of Paris you turned the universal Olympic ideals into elements of darkness and imbalance.
You are obliged to publicly apologize to all Greeks first, from where you received the sacred flame and then to the citizens of the whole world
Beautifully said! This display is utterly disgusting and does not portray anything but evil!
As a Greek person it's embarrassing that you don't know that this is based off of the feast of dionysus and not the last supper
Could not agree more ‘
@@cdills3454it’s very obviously the last supper. Don’t be dense.
@@sleepteam This segment is about greek history and this hardly represents the last supper. the last supper is not greek OR french so why would it be here
I think the observation of some Russian commentator sums it up well: “The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics seemed more like a closing ceremony for Humanity.”
Perfect!
You'd rather agree with the country that has recently has bragged about their war crimes than let people dress up? What interesting priorities you have
@@cdills3454don’t be a fool to not believe that the west has a role to play in this war.
Definitely the closing ceremony for the West. The rest of the world isn't participating in this nonsense.
Imagine the outrage if they did a parody of LGBTQ pride...
Right 😂
They will have a "peaceful" protest for sure 😂
That's impossible. They are a parody of men and women already
@@janniagonzalez5459 Exactly what i was thinking. You can't do a parody of what's a parody already
That already is a parody of itself.
Shame on the organizers. Very pathetic taste. Why can't sports be just sports. Shame on you guys.
EXACTLY‼️
UNO ,WHO ,AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL BODY ARE PACKED WITH SICK PEOPLE
Save your non-apologies. This was atrocious and that is the main point is that no one enjoyed it and it was ridiculous. How far we have come from any artistic expression and only to the point of shocking with pure ugliness and disrespect. Shame on Paris which used to house so much art. This was disgusting to look at and did not elevate anything and did not culturally improve anything and did not provide enjoyment that is the sadness is that art in Paris now only degrades and depresses.
Tellement vraie thx
I am french and french people is disguted and angry too , The men who organized this masquerade don't like France and what it stands for , they juste want humiliated our country
Okay Karen
@@billyhargrove1405 You are a child
Also this is a bot so lol
I’m not a Christian. I’m not even religious. But clearly, these organizers completely lacks empathy, and has zero creativity and horrible taste.
They basically said, ‘sorry you feel that way. It’s your fault you took offense’.
I mean... yeah lol. Your fault you got offended over something so silly.
Why would she apologize exactly?
Is it the same when a man claiming to be a woman walks into a woman's restrrom & is told HE'S not allowed in because he's a man? @@HikaruYamamoto
@@vep233 She doesn’t have to, but don’t call it an apology when it isn’t. Saying sorry you feel that way is worse than not apologizing at all. Same reason why people shouldn’t demand apologies if they are called the wrong pronoun, right? Or is that too much of a double standard?
Yup, that is correct. There is nothing wrong with what they did. It was a tribute, not a mockery. Your hate of the LGBT is what makes you perceive it as an attack on your faith, and that is 100% YOUR problem
That is not an apology. Unacceptable.
Imagine if they did this to other religions
Yeah
Paris organizers knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
Yes they did, and you clearly do not because this is NOT based off the last supper at all. Its greek
@@cdills3454 that's the perception.. but the masses do not see it that way. When I say masses, I mean the majority and the netizens.. Organizers apologized and removed the video.. if they stand behind their art why aren't the defending it?
@JamesBond-jy8ti they organized it properly imo, this entire segment was on Greek history and they referenced a Greek thing with this scene. It's not the Olympics fault people are making it about themselves
Hardly an apology
He didn't intend to shock? Really? That's what he said. "I didn't intend to be subversive or to mock or shock." That was the three things he definitely DID intend to do. He absolutely set out to do those things and now he isn't even remotely apologizing. He doesn't see the need to. He won't be cancelled. He will be celebrated. He got what he wanted. Remember this. Don't let it go. Don't engage with anything the organization ever puts out.
This is how they are.
"The [little hat] cries out in pain as he strikes you"
100%
Exactly, he's a liar. He did exactly what he intended.
Calling it a parody is mocking per definition. He talks 💩.
You are right! He is dishonest in addition..just disgusting
I’m not even religious. I found this disgusting. One guy even had a “wardrobe malfunction” and one of his baIls was out.
😂😅😂😅
😂😂😂
Imagine the kids watching this and seeing it
@@Nicolekss What a weird thing to imagine
Most likely it wasn’t a malfunction. Depravity knows no shame.
They hired that gen z creative director to tick boxes/push agenda, was there really not an older creative director with more knowledge and passion for France?
Okay boomer
@@billyhargrove1405 This is a bot. And you are a child.
@@morslinn okay boomer
Imagine an opening ceremony actually featuring athletes
I hate to tell you this but every single Olympic opening ceremony has prominently featured the countries history
@cdills3454 who are you? Public relations for the Olympic organizers. Dude it's obvious what's going here. We are done with the gas lighting and the disrespect. Hopefully this hurts there ratings enough that the Olympics goes by by. Over rated anyway. Haven't watched since the 70's.
You have to resign ... this is disgraceful act
And return all the income they made from this - let the committee take that money and donate it to Christian charities around the world.
When someone says, IF this offended you, then we apologise.
That is not a genuine apology
There was no apology there from either party. There was only "sorry you were offended by our wokeness, WE were being 'inclusive', therefore you were not" disgusting hypocrisy
No matter what you say the damage has been done . That’s not an apology . Shame on you France,
What damage?
@@vep233 Offense.
@@hongry-life Hope they have a swift recovery after this absolutely offensive ceremony
As a french Christian man, I feel shame and disrespect… this is not what should represent our Country.

Why would you even reenact the last supper in an Olympic opening ceremony????
EXACTLY‼️
It’s the Feast of Gods, also painted by Da Vinci
According to someone on reddit, it was supposed to be some pun "une scène de La Cène sur La Seine" (stage of the Last Supper on the Seine River)
Doesn't justify it, non french people would bit get it. @@yuyue605
for the buzz, they knew EXACTLY what they were doing and now this is ALL OVER the internet and news. Controversy creates cash baby.
They’re not sorry, they done what they set up to achieve. They knew this was going to happen but they made their demonic sacrifice. That’s all that matter to these devil workers
Yup
100%
Its france.
ITs agreed upon by the Power that Be of Paris.....
And they will sadly take the consequences. I pray for hearts to change
⚡️💯💯
Disgusting display of lack civility, not watching nor supporting ANY sponsors, feel bad for those athletes.
What has the last supper to do with the Olympic Games? And if its all so inclusive and friendly, why all the shocking blood and a decapitaded Marie Antoinette? It was supposed to be a show for families, or wasn't it? Listen, you guys: we, the people, found it revolting and we do not consent on anything like that.
It just shows how cultured and classy the French are!. Such a wonderful reflection of their society.
Great educational opportunity for the kids. Well done 😂😂😂😂😂
A couple of decades later this kind of affectionate display and human decency will dominate their society...... The hope for increasing the population will soar as no more reproduction will be possible.
@@Mumima100 As a French person I can attest that most regular folks French or otherwise are against depravity, disrespect and "wokeness" but... We, like so many in our world, are controlled by crazy globalists encouraging "wokism" and working very hard at selling fear mongering, lies and create division in order to divide the population to take control as a central government.
This is not an apology
Why should they apologize?
For what !!!?!?!
If someone did not like whose problem it is ?
answer - theirs.
I personally liked the show !
@@unebonnevie i am related to TV only 😃
@@Great272 Ok, that's an explanation I guess.
@@hongry-life yes . random TV viewer .
Show was incredible. Loved every bit of it .
You are right it gives out a vibe of not being a genuine apology.
They absolutely intended for it to be gravely offensive!!! Because she’s smiling and smirking while doing the press conference!!!
The creative Director should be ashamed of himself. He interjected his personal agenda instead of respecting ,honoring uniting all of the Olympic athletes
Absolutely disgusting and shameful

Thats A Bizarre Thing To Do In Such A Big Stage Where Whole World Is Watching Total Embarrassment For Paris And Pathetic Mismanagement😡😡😡
it isn't bizarre when you realise who was doing it and why.
That was the biggest lack of respect I have ever seen against the inauguration of the Olympic Games and Humanity.
Gross and disrespectful. The organizers are the lowest of the low. 🤮🤢
oof the devil is strong in you today to spread this hateful words.
@@angelina22ist it’s not because you don’t understand what freedom is that you need to spread hate.
@@ElieAnquetil You’re wrong to believe derangement is freedom. Hope you realize that one day. All the best.
How so? This is a silly but very typical of Americans who spend way too much time on the world wide web looking to be mad
As French, what he means is the "right" to be disrespectful to anything and anyone. First it was Ubisoft's Assassins Creed that appropriated, stole, and revised Japanese history and culture. Now they are doing the same disrespect with the Olympic spirit and Christian imagery
It was incredibly disrespectful to religious people! I will certainly not forget that! 🤮
This is not an apology.
Why should they apologize? I thought Americans were tired of the so called wokenss where you can't make jokes or anything anymore and yet here you are upset at this? Very sensitive of you USA!
Americans aren't the only people disgusted Devin, seems you're the overly sensitive one focusing upon only Americans...can you project any harder?
@@joebutta7539 who else in the world is upset? I mean, who else gets upset by this? Every year it is the same thing with those absurd Americans who always are online getting mad at that Super bowl half time show no matter who performs there
@@vidmasterK1 Much of Europe, Canada, Central & South America people agree it was purposely mocking people Faith...which is a typical move and unsurprising of that certain group
@@joebutta7539 what was being mocked? Because they have already stated beforehand it was homage to the Greek mythology
what does mockery of the Last Supper have to do with the "right to love who you love"? Twisted logic from director
They just wanna to glorify lgbt in many context... even when we know it's out of context.... it's just their standard..

It’s not an apology, they are even justifying that
It's disgusting they allow this to be performed at the olympics
This title needs to be edited...there is no apology to be found in this video.
Gross. I remember watching the Olympics with my family growing up. I guess families can’t even trust the Olympics to maintain its integrity. What a shame.
Agree
Please define ‘apology’.
Couse this certainly doesn’t look like one to me.
could you imagine being an athlete at that opening ceremony not realizing what was going on? I would be furious and I hope some of the athletes speak out against it. disgusting.
Where was the apology? I missed that. That was the equivalent of "im sorry YOU feel that way" conversations.
SO HORRIBLE! This is THE WORST Opening Ceremony in the history of Olympics! So disgusting, disgraceful and shameful.
😆😆😆 I love Christian tears.
This was a disgusting act for EVERYONE! The olympics is a platform for unity and respect for all races and cultures, and this was anything but that. It was a drag queen mockery and had no place on the olympic platform. This was a complete embarrassment and total disrespect to the athletes as well as all of the countries and Christian community. SHAME ON FRANCE!!!
I'm French and like most of my compatriots I didn't enjoy at all the shameful parts of the show. Please understand that they want you to believe this is the way French people are, however it is NOT true.
And shame on the Olympics which itself must be out lawed
@@clemorchard523 Thank you so much for letting me know this. We only know what we see and I do believe they try to push a certain narrative. Sorry for the judgement..
100%

Russia should be honored for being barred from the games
2024 Olympics is a disgrace.
They knew what they were doing, they should be ashamed
"Clearly, the intention was not to show disrespect"... Clearly, the whole idea was to show disrespect.
1000000%
If I offended you I'm sorry is not an apology.
I legit started to think this was the Eurovisions and not the Olympics
🤣
I thought so too lol
Euro is on path of collapse. Have a nice pride country 😂😂😂

now France knows what the ordinary Irish person thinks.
She didn’t apologise. She is supporting disgusting behaviour
Look at her pres
Go pound sand, I thought it was great!
What disgusting behavior?
@@HikaruYamamoto Because?
I'm going to guess this was a "sorry, not sorry" because they wouldn't have hired the people doing this in the first place if it were allowed in the final version we all saw on TV.
This travesty didn't arrive out of the blue. It will have gone through many phases of approval, creation, rehearsal...they knew what they were doing, the messages within it and the intended target.
No mistakes, no unintentional offence.
It was quite deliberate and the world saw it plainly.
Anti Christian, satanic.
Even the local French people are appalled!
someone should be arrested for this insult,this is painful and disgusting, as a Christian I am deeply offended by the way these sick minds are being promoted, this olympiad for me is over before it even begins
Arrested for an insult? There’s that “Christian tolerance” y’all love to talk about huh?
Yes, someone should be arrested for having a child there to witness this.
@@miemie3308 is it against French law to have a child there? Or, is it against your imaginary Christian law?
@@Underratedmen it's against the law to expose yourself. It's indecent exposure.
Emperor Theodosius I - Christian - BANNED the olympics further back in history. What a nice display of Christian "Love" lol
This is no apology. In fact, it seems to be a justification of their actions under the guise of apology.
I live in the most ridiculous times.. I often wish, I was born 50 years prior..
Eurovision horror and this now...what else has to come. My question. Why has to lgbt attack an olympic games with this circus? It doesnt look innocent. It was a clear thought with a precious target. Shame France
If they did nothing wrong and it was all innocent; why apologize?
Disrespectful. Distasteful to any religion. Whoever is involved and approved it a HUGE embarrassment for France!
No matter what you say, it was the worst opening ceremony I ever watched.
Not an apology, just another mockery of those who don’t share their values. The irony!
Its not based off the last supper, it's based off the GREEK feast of dionysis, stop assuming everything is about your religion
@@cdills3454there’s no proof💀
@Da_doggo104 let's put on our thinking caps okay? The Olympics are Greek and this segment was on Greek history. The last supper is NOT Greek or French so why would it be here?
They say this in public but I am curious what they say amongst themselves behind closed doors 🤔.
Yeah we did it sort of thing
Probably some lgbt stuff
Not an apology in any sense of the word!
Hypocrites! They do the dirty deed first then they offer a half-baked lip-service “apology “.
Gold medal for "The Worst Olympic Opening" and another gold medal for "The Worst Apology Ever"
The absolute lowest common denominator.
This isn’t an apology really. Why wasn’t there more critical screening of this performance prior to the event?
This is not an apology! It was a pure insult to Christian People everywhere! AND NO! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INSULT US IN ANY WAY!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There's something deranged about the people who organized this event. It's almost like they've deliberately offended millions of people.
Ya think????
More like billions bro
What's the deranged part?
Uncalled for. That was stated
Myabe be less sensitive.
That was not a real apology. I want to see some accountability here.
Neither party offered an apology in that situation. The only repulsive hypocrisy was "sorry you were offended by our wokeness, WE were being 'inclusive,' therefore you were not."
They're sorry for being called out for the disrespect.
This was anything, but an apology.
Which brands and companies are sponsoring this Olympic?
A lot but to name a few - Coca Cola, airbnb, Alibaba, Allianz, Bridgestone, Corona, Intel, Omega, Decathlon, Panasonic, P&G, Samsung, Toyota, Visa, Orange, Air France, Danone, Le Coq Sportif.
*It was the worst ever ceremony. Regardless of your religion or your beliefs. A minor dancing next to a guy with him member sticking out?. Where were the family & child protection?. What is that have to do with the Olympics competition?.* 🤢🤮
What does who you love have to do with countries coming together for a sports event??? How does such blasphemy show community and tolerance?? Tolerance for immorality??? at the expense of another community of faith? SHAME ON YOU ALL. Humanity has certainly sunk into darkness

Shame on her and all these organizers. I hope humanity is rising up against this insanity from this point forward.
