he woman at the centre of a controversial performance during the opening ceremony for the Paris 2024 Olympics has been revealed to be a DJ, producer, and self-described 'love activist' called Barbara Butch.
Some Christians were vocal about their discomfort over the stunt: a parody of the Last Supper - the famous biblical scene of Jesus Christ and his twelve apostles sharing a last meal before the crucifixion.
The artistic interpretation, which included a group of drag queens and a transgender model, as well as French actor and singer Phillippe Katerine, prompted some to accuse organisers of creating a 'woke' parody of the iconic painting by Leonardo da Vinci.
Models, dancers, fashion icons and drag queens from the host nation took part in the scene, gathering on a bridge over the capital's river around a table, which also doubled as a catwalk.
At the centre was Barbara, who donned a halo-style crown and fitted blue and silver ensemble as she stood in front of her DJ equipment surrounded by several drag queens and dozens of dancers and performers
A fashion show which showcased clothing designed by some of France's most promising young designers took centre stage, as those seated on either side performed slick choreography.
And one of the most impressive pieces was the crown worn by Barbara, which was actually a custom-made headset which incorporated a pair of headphones.
The piece was created by multidisciplinary artist Flavio Juan Nunez and designer Laurent Tijou.
It was crafted from natural silver chromed leather, wood, and Swarovski crystals, according to an Instagram post shared by Barbara.
In the post, she added that the tableau had been created to 'celebrate Love, inclusivity, diversity through music & dance to unite all of Us [sic]'.

France is suppose to be full of beautiful models and this is what they showcase? The LZ 129 Hindenburg?
For real you all!
At first they claimed it was to honor Leonardo...
It never occurred to them that he wouldn’t have felt honored by that.
Ish.
We should call anybody whose “pronouns” are anything other than “he or she” “it.”
morbidly obese
i cant even guess how much she weighs
Thanks, but no thanks.
Might sound a little extreme to some but that sickness was enough to make me turn off the Olympics permanently.......none for me thanks.
It is so Monkey Pox!
if she ever goes on ozempic to lose all the weight just imagine what those tattoos will look like
I have never had a tattoo. I don’t look down on people who get them. I do wonder what health consequences might happen because of them. And what they begin to look like as you age and your body changes shape.
Oh my. It’s the “last supper” alright. She ate everything.
If ever there existed a pic of a demon-possessed humanoid, that’s probably it.....of course, along with the gin-soaked, vile, demonic Botoxian too.
A whole lot of misdirection going on here. "It was just a painting" should be answered by "a painting of what?" Because that's what was being desecrated, not a piece of canvas with some paint on it, however well done.
The message was that their version of the Last Supper was a drunken bacchanal. An orgy - their sacrament. I challenge any of them to deny it.
Mocking Christianity has been going on for 2000 years. It should be boring by now, but there is something about the truth of Christianity that bothers the worldly.
Eeewww.
I feel so sad that France I has slipped away and is lost to what is left of Western culture.
So do women go weird after being obese or get obese after going weird? So many of that team are just downright scary.
Hope she goes on a diet. That’s enough weight to shift the axis of the Earth and have all of us spin off into oblivion.
“celebrate inclusivity, diversity”
Not true, as their definition of “diversity” excludes Christians with a strong traditional faith.
And, “accepting” (your right to be who you are) others has zero, zip, nada to do with “celebrating” (cheering on) others whom you are willing to leave in peace but do not condone their lifestyle. But public “celebrating” controversial lifetsyles goes beyond “accepting” their freedom and demands the public move to cheering them on. That move is not about “freedom”, it is an attempt to force by law social acceptance that freedom and liberty demand not everyone should have to sign on to.
Pretty obvious where the Daily Mail stands.
