Jodie Sweetin defends Olympics drag performance after Candace Cameron Bure calls it ‘disgusting’: ‘What’s the harm?’
Jodie Sweetin is clapping back at critics of the Olympics opening ceremony’s drag performance — including her former co-star Candace Cameron Bure.
After Cameron Bure took to Instagram Saturday to slam the “disgusting” show for “mock[ing] the Christian faith,” Sweetin shared a pointed post to her Instagram Story.
“The drag queens at the Olympics were recreating the feast of Dionysus, not the Last Supper,” read Sunday’s upload by activist Matt Bernstein.
“The drag queens at the Olympics were recreating the feast of Dionysus, not the Last Supper,” it read in part.
“And even if you thought it was a Christian reference — what’s the harm?” the graphic asked. “Why is it a ‘parody’ and not a tribute? Can drag queens not be Christian too?”
Bernstein captioned the carousel, which featured slides showing Elon Musk and Piers Morgan’s critiques, “not the last supper but THEY ATE.”
Sweetin, 42, also reposted a video of comedian Walter Masterson breaking down the performance’s link to Dionysus.
“Tell me you don’t know about art or history without TELLING me you don’t know about art or history,” the actress wrote over the footage Monday.
Cameron Bure, 48, acknowledged the Dionysus claim when she doubled down on her criticism of the performance Sunday.
“Many have tried to correct me saying it wasn’t about an interpretation of DaVinci’s The Last Supper, but a Greek god and the festival of Dionysus,” she wrote, pointing out that Dionysus “is a god of lust, insanity, religious ecstasy, ritual madnes [sic] etc.”
She noted, “I still don’t see how that relates to unifying the world through competitive sports and acceptable for children to watch. In any case, I’m not buying it.”
Cameron Bure and Sweetin’s reps have yet to respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The “Full House” co-stars, who shared the screen from 1987 to 1995 and again from 2016 to 2020 with the “Fuller House” revival, have previously made headlines for their differing beliefs.
In November 2022, Sweetin unfollowed Bure on Instagram after the former Hallmark Channel star referred to gay marriage as nontraditional — and not the “focus” of Great American Media, for which she works as chief content officer.
When JoJo Siwa slammed the former “The View” co-host at the time for “excluding LGBTQIA+” stories from her movies, Sweetin gave the 21-year-old pop star her support.
“You know I love you ❤️❤️,” she wrote in an Instagram comment.
