Candace Cameron Bure, the former Full House star, has intensified her criticism of a drag performance during the recent Olympics opening ceremony. Initially calling the performance "completely blasphemous" and "disgusting" in an Instagram Story, Bure has continued to voice her disapproval in a video posted on Sunday.

The performance, which many believed was a reinterpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper, sparked controversy for its inclusion of drag elements. Bure expressed her disappointment, stating, "It made me so sad... I’m more sad because I’m sad for souls." She emphasized her concern for those who may not know the gospel of Jesus Christ, framing her critique as a defense of Christian values.

In response to attempts to reframe the performance as a depiction of the festival of Dionysus, Bure rejected this explanation, asserting that the show’s themes were inconsistent with the Olympics’ purpose of uniting the world through sports.

She remained firm in her stance, questioning the appropriateness of the performance for a global audience, particularly children.

The Olympics' artistic director, Thomas Jolly, defended the performance, clarifying that there was no intention to disrespect any religious group. He stated that the show drew inspiration from Da Vinci's famous painting and was part of a broader artistic tradition.
