Meet the controversial self-described 'love activist' who played Jesus in Paris Olympics opening ceremony's 'woke Last Supper parody' as she shares behind-the-scenes details

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]'.

That’s IMO the right response. Lefty BLM types burn their own neighborhoods. Muhammedans kill random people. We can quash this just by not participating with eyes and wallets. Go woke, go broke.

She was picked because she, like the organizer/creator/mastermind of the opening ceremonies hates Christianity and Western Civilization, and nose—I mean knows—instinctively to attack it at every opportunity. They can not help themselves.

Conservatives and Christians need to reject the habit of following this type of insanity down the alphabet peoples rabbit hole in the name of avoiding being labeled a “phobe” of some sort........somebody wants to accuse me of being intolerant it’s THEIR problem not mine.

My measuring stick is my Bible, if something is in conflict with it I do my best to avoid it the best I can.

“i cant even guess how much she weighs”

That was not even her “last supper” I can tell she had at least 5 suppers that night and probably every night.

Thanks. I was wrong about the telephone pole (it was a long time ago) but the point is the same.

So will he play Mohammed or Aisha at the next ceremony? It’s all about love, right?

I would suspect another cause is equally obese parents with little oversight as to the child’s diet or exercise.
