Have YOU participated in the Olympics other than a spectator? Have YOU participated in a Drag Show other than a spectator? No need for hate, embrace.
The drag artist at the center of a Paris Olympics opening ceremony performance that drew right-wing outrage for apparently mocking Christ’s Last Supper is firing back.
Barbara Butch said through her attorney that she had been targeted with death threats, antisemitism and fat phobia and said she was planning to sue the people who had targeted her.
“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,” a statement from her lawyer read. “She has been threatened with death, torture, and rape, and has also been the target of numerous anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist, and grossophobic insults. Barbara Butch condemns this vile hatred directed at her, what she represents, and what she stands for.”
The statement finished, “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.”
