Paris 2024 spokeswoman Anne Descamps issued a gaslighting, half-hearted "apology" on Sunday for their Summer Olympics opener featuring drag queens and an obese lesbian mocking the Last Supper.

Descamps claimed they had no intention to mock the Last Supper or "show disrespect to any religious group" and said that "if people have taken any offense" then "we are, of course, really, really sorry."

Gay ceremony director Thomas Jolly also tried to gaslight the public by claiming it was just a coincidence that the scene resembled the Last Supper and his wish wasn't "to be subversive, nor to mock or to shock."



From AP News, "Paris Olympics organizers say they meant no disrespect with 'Last Supper' tableau":
Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps was asked about the outcry during an International Olympic Committee news conference on Sunday.

"Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. On the contrary, I think (with) Thomas Jolly, we really did try to celebrate community tolerance," Descamps said. "Looking at the result of the polls that we shared, we believe that this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense we are, of course, really, really sorry."
From AP News, "Paris' Olympics opening was wacky and wonderful — and upset bishops. Here's why":
DJ and producer Barbara Butch, an LGBTQ+ icon who calls herself a "love activist," wore a silver headdress that looked like a halo as she got a party going on a footbridge across the Seine, above parading athletes — including those from countries that criminalize LGBTQ+ people. Drag artists, dancers and others flanked Butch on both sides.
The tableau brought to mind Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper," which depicts the moment when Jesus Christ declared that an apostle would betray him.

Jolly says that wasn't his intention. He saw the moment as a celebration of diversity, and the table on which Butch spun her tunes as a tribute to feasting and French gastronomy.

"My wish isn't to be subversive, nor to mock or to shock," Jolly said. "Most of all, I wanted to send a message of love, a message of inclusion and not at all to divide."
To call this gaslighting an "apology" is quite the stretch.

UPDATE: Barbara Butch, the self-described "fat, Jewish, queer lesbian" at the center of the disgraceful Last Supper mockery, said on her own Instagram that she depicted "Olympic Jesus."
