SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA – APRIL 03: Candace Cameron Bure attends “Unsung Hero” special screening on April 03, 2024 in Santa Monica, California. Candace Cameron Bure is doubling down on her outrage over the drag performance during the Olympics opening ceremony, hitting back at those who say it wasn’t meant to be a re-creation of “The Last Supper” but an interpretation of the festival of the Greek god Dionysus.
But this tableau soon shifted, as a giant cloche lifted to reveal a man, nearly naked and painted blue, on a dinner plate surrounded by fruit,Shortly after the performance, the Olympics posted photos of the blue man on X, the Washington Post said. “The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings,” the post said.
At a daily press conference Sunday, Olympics organizers apologized for anyone who took offense, the Washington Post reported. “It made me so sad and someone said, ‘You shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it,’” Cameron Bure said. “I’m like, ‘Trust me, it makes me mad, but I’m more sad because I’m sad for souls.’ I pray for my heart to break over what breaks God’s heart and I just think about all the people that have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ or don’t know the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
Cameron Bure said she was reluctant to weigh in publicly on the opening ceremony controversy because she knew she’d become “a headline.” But she felt it was “too important,” and she couldn’t stay quiet.
