Juliana Olayode, an actress, has attacked the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony for its contentious presentation of religious themes.
In a post on her official Instagram account, Olayode condemned the ceremony’s spoof of Leonardo da Vinci’s classic artwork, “The Last Supper,” including drag queens and a transgender model, calling it “completely unacceptable,” “bizarre,” and “disrespectful.”
Olayode claimed that the Olympics should be about athletics, not religion or gender identity, and criticized the growing trend of disrespect for Christianity.
She wrote in her caption, “This is completely unacceptable! This is bizarre, this is disrespectful and wrong in every way! Last time I checked, the Olympics are a sports event and should be about sporting events not about religion or gender identity. Not disrespecting people’s faith”.
She stressed that Christians have been silent for too long, allowing such rudeness to persist.
“I am actually very upset, I wasn’t even going to do this post, because I know that My God can defend Himself! But as Christians, we have kept quiet for too long and that’s why we are where we are. People of other faiths would speak up, without hesitation at the sight of anything they found disrespectful to their religion. No matter how small.
“The world always fights the Truth. The world is constantly attacking/ disrespecting Christianity, in music, movies, on the news, on some TV shows and now in sports. It is very disgusting and disrespectful! Whoever approved this for the Olympics opening ceremony should be checked,” she wrote in part.
