Although the ceremony's artistic director Thomas Jolly has repeatedly said that he wasn't inspired by "The Last Supper," critics interpreted part of the show that featured Butch as a mockery of Leonardo Da Vinci's painting showing Jesus Christ and his apostles. Butch, who calls herself a "love activist," wore a silver headdress that looked like a halo as she got a party going during her segment of the show.
Jolly has said he saw the moment as a celebration of diversity, and the table on which Butch spun her tunes as a tribute to feasting and French gastronomy. Céline Dion thrills viewers with 'triumphant comeback' performance at Paris Olympics opening ceremony "I'm committed, and I'm proud. Proud of who I am, of what I am, and of what I embody, both for my loved ones and for millions of French people. My France is France !" she wrote.
