Actor Jodie Sweetin appears to be at odds with her former Full House co-star Candace Cameron Bure when it comes to a controversial segment from the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony .

On Sunday, Bure shared a video on Instagram in which she denounced what she and some other viewers perceived as a drag parody of Leonardo da Vincis The Last Supper, a 15th-century painting depicting Jesus Christ and his 12 disciples at a fateful final meal.

To watch such an incredible and wonderful event thats gonna take place over the next two weeks and see the opening ceremonies completely blaspheme and mock the Christian faith with their interpretation of the Last Supper was disgusting, she said in the clip, which can be viewed here .

Bure was, of course, among several conservative figures who criticized the performance. According to Thomas Jolly, the opening ceremonys artistic director, the scene was intended as a tribute to Dionysus, the Greek god of decadence and celebration, rather than The Last Supper.

Sweetin amplified Jollys commentary on Monday when she shared a short video to her Instagram stories in which comedian Walter Masterson explains why the Olympics would choose to depict a Greek god who represents feasting, festivity and ritual theater.
