Full House Jodie Sweetin defends Olympics drag show after Candace Cameron Bure calls it "disgusting"

Jodie Sweetin is addressing criticism about the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The Full House alum defended an Opening Ceremony performance after Candace Cameron Bure criticized it for using drag performers to reference The Last Supper and mock "the Christian faith."

"Tell me you don't know about art or history," Jodie wrote in a July 29 Instagram Story, "without TELLING me you don't know about art or history."

Alongside her message, the 42-year-old shared a video by Walter Masterson explaining that the July 26 show, featuring drag artists and performers in Greek mythology costumes, was inspired by Dionysus, the ancient Greek god of "feasting, festivity, and ritual theater."

"The Olympics come from Ancient Greece," Walter explained in the July 29 video. "French culture is also rooted in feasting, festivity and ritual theater."

Jodie's defense came a day after Candace said the performance "openly mocked God."

"To watch such an incredible and wonderful event that's going to take place over the next two weeks," she said in a video shared to her Instagram July 28, "and to see the Opening Ceremonies completely blasphemed and mock[ed] the Christian faith with their interpretation of The Last Supper was disgusting."

Candace added, "It makes me mad, but I'm more sad. Because I'm sad for souls."

"I still don’t see how [Dionysus] relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and [is] acceptable for children to watch," she wrote in the caption of her Instagram. "In any case, I’m not buying it."

However, Jodie isn't the only one disputing Candace's claims. The Olympic Games also addressed the controversy, clarifying the show's inspiration.

On July 26, the Olympic Games shared a photo of the performers on the bridge and posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), "The interpretation of the Greek God Dionysus makes us aware of the absurdity of violence between human beings."
