Jodie Sweetin Defends Olympics Drag After Candace Cameron Bure Calls It "Disgusting" | E! News

For a community so concerned about being offended, they no problem offending others.

[EddieHenderson]

Jodie's whole career is about calling Candace out on social media now.

[neverclevernorwitty]

Of course she does. And no, she didn't "shut down" critics, we cannot be shut down.

How are dressing in drag or semi-nude or posing in sexually provocative positions appropriate for what should be a family-friendly international event? One official already admitted the choreographer took inspiration from the Last Supper - the title of it even translates (in part) to the "Last Supper." Easily, this was offensive and in very poor taste for many of us.

[mikametcalf]

They knew there would be comparisons to The Last Supper. Regardless, why was this performance basically a pride parade? June isn't enough anymore, it has to be shoved into every movie, show, book. If they're trying to unite the whole world, try not to insult so many people with something that could be misconstrued as inappropriate and divisive. They are creating their own opposition.

[brbadge]

I have to say, the rest of the world doesnt react to stuff like this like we do in America.

[Lisa-jpuj]

Candace Bure is a true beautiful soul.

[michaelshaw]

Sorry, but the layout was eerily similar to Da Vinci's painting. Sweetin is too afraid to go against the Hollywood pagans. Besides, the organizers already apologized.

This is the thing: they’re both entitled to their opinions/how they took it and having differing opinions doesn’t mean they’re a single ounce less close 🤷‍♀️

[winall]

Even if its about celebrating pagan gods and queers, vulgarity and exposure has no place in the olympic arena which is open to the whole world.

[cherw]

Galatians 6:7 (NKJV)
Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Amen

[Michael-tt]

To say dionisis represented anything but intoxication and orgies alone is insane. I knew that years ago

[pristinepersians]

Ok, here's where the confusion is... SUPPOSEDLY, The originators posted something saying yes it was the last supper and then it was taken down and then the pagan God explanation was used. Thing is, I never saw this, nobody ever posted a screenshot of it but that's why everybody is in an uproar, because supposedly there was a post from The originators claiming and admitting yes it was the last supper, and then after everybody freaked out they took it down and posted another explanation.

Usually my Spidey senses go way up when I see anything against christ, and it didn't for some reason, because it was all out of order. Way too many people there for it to be the last supper, more symbolism of child sacrifice and cannibalism. Also, since when have people who mocked Christ ever lied about it? They outright admit they are mocking Jesus at pride, so I think we are assuming.

[mrcool]

Stephanie once again taking the L, DJ won.

[lsmarsha]

Opening ceremonies was moving and wasn’t appropriate for kids. Jodie doesn’t need to call out Candace. Do your thing Jodie.

[LaPetiteBoulin]

It did not have anything to do with the Last Supper but was a scene to do with the Pagan gods & Dionysius. Do people know anything about Greek mythology and the Olympics? There was some symbolism to France in there as well. People also thought men's privates were exposed but they weren't.
Some people just want to be offended. You tell them it wasn't about their faith and they dont want to hear it.

[Dragonmoon]

Sorry, not a fan of having my religion disrespected. Try that with the Muslim faith if you want to see a true reaction

[caseygoff]

Someone should tell Jodie that the Olympics apologized for mocking the Last Supper, which is them admitting it. Not “art”. Jodie seems not very bright.

[natsvsam]

Oh please, nobody cares for your opinion whoever you are either. The Olympic organiser in her "apology" and some of the people that were part of the whole disgusting debacle said it's from the Last supper.

[BeniaminTrif]

She wouldn't be saying that if Bob saget was still alive
