“Trust me, it makes me mad, but I’m more sad because I’m sad for souls,” says Bure of the Paris Olympics drag performance some have likened to ‘The Last Supper.’
Full House star and LGBTQ activist Jodie Sweetin has seemingly clapped back at her costar Candace Cameron Bure’s critique of the controversial drag show during the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony.
Bure — a former The View cohost, actress and devout Christian — took to Instagram over the weekend to share her opinion on the drag production which she believed was a recreation of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of “The Last Supper”. She called it “completely blasphemous” and downright “disgusting”.

“It made me so sad, and someone said, ‘You shouldn’t be sad. You should be mad about it.’ I’m like, ‘Trust me, it makes me mad, but I’m more sad because I’m sad for souls.’
“I pray for my heart to break over what breaks God’s heart and I just think about all the people that have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ or don’t know the gospel of Jesus Christ,” she continued.
Sweetin has since shared an Instagram gallery to her stories from influencer Matt Bernstein’s account highlighting comparisons and hypocrisy between the negative comments about drag and the Olympics as a whole.
Paris Olympics 2024 organizers reacted to the backlash the opening ceremony received on Sunday, July 28, offering apologies to anyone who was offended by the drag-filled performance on X (formerly Twitter).
The organizers also corrected those who believed it was a representation of the iconic Christian image, causing outrage by religious conservatives around the world.
“The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings,” the Olympics said of the performance, defending the concept.
