The 2024 Paris Olympic Games faced backlash for what critics deem a “blasphemous” opening ceremony showcasing drag queens posed as Christian imagery including “The Last Supper” and Greek God Dionysus. Since then, the Olympics has removed its own YouTube videos of the performance as re-uploads begin to disappear from multiple social media platforms.
Videos posted to the official Olympics YouTube channel titled “LET THE GAMES BEGIN! 🔥 | #Paris2024 Opening Ceremony Highlights” and “SPECTACULAR Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony! 💥🇫🇷 | Highlights” display an error message with comments turned off.

The 2024 Olympics opening ceremony featured 18 drag queen performers posed behind a long table — evoking “The Last Supper” — in front of the Seine River and Eiffel Tower, according to the New York Post. The drag queen in the center wore a big silver headdress, which resembled the halo depicted in paintings of Jesus.
One man appeared to expose himself, although it is unconfirmed whether it was a wardrobe malfunction or his genitals.
The performance also featured a half-naked blue man emerging from a large serving tray, which the Olympics explained depicts the Greek God Dionysus. Other moments included a potential polyamorous trio enter a bedroom and a heavy-metal performer dressed as Mary Antionette holding her own severed head, Business Insider noted.
