A United States tech company has reportedly pulled its Olympic advertising after drag queens and dancers performed an apparent parody of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies.
Mississippi-based telecommunications and technology company “C Spire” announced it has removed its ads being aired during the Olympic games over the weekend.
“We were shocked by the mockery of the Last Supper during the opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics. C Spire will be pulling our advertising from the Olympics,” the company posted on X.
“C Spire is supportive of our athletes who have worked so hard to be a part of the Olympics. However, we will not be a part of the offensive and unacceptable mockery of the Last Supper, which is why we’re pulling our advertising from the Olympics,” Company President and CEO Suzy Hays said in a statement.
Olympic organizers were met with intense backlash after the performance included a group of provocatively dressed drag queens standing behind a long table, appearing to recreate the Lord’s Supper.
