Attorney representing French performer Barbara Buch, has announced that her client is filing a complaint regarding online harassment following the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Butch was one of the participants in a controversial scene of the biblical story "The Last Supper."
The attorney stated on social media:
Since the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, artist, DJ, and activist Barbara Butch has been the target of an extremely violent campaign of cyber-harassment and defamation. She is today filing several complaints against these acts, whether committed by French nationals or foreigners, and intends to prosecute anyone who tries to intimidate her in the future.
It should be noted that the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics sparked mixed reactions worldwide. American telecommunications company C Spire announced the withdrawal of its advertisement from the Olympics due to the scene parodying "The Last Supper."
Anne Deschamps, the communications director for the Olympic Games organizing committee, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have both apologized for the controversial opening ceremony.
