Candace Cameron Bure, known for her role as D.J. Tanner on the hit show “Full House,” has caused quite a stir with her recent comments on the Olympics opening ceremony. In a video message shared on Instagram, the actress didn’t hold back, labeling the ceremony as ‘disgusting.’ Her criticism was aimed at a segment that seemed to put a new twist on Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic painting, ‘The Last Supper,’ with the inclusion of drag queens.
The segment in question, which has been met with mixed reactions, was actually inspired by a famous depiction of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine. Despite the explanation provided by the International Olympic Committee and the ceremony’s director, Bure was not convinced. In her video message, she expressed her distaste for what she perceived as a controversial and disrespectful interpretation of the classic painting.
