It featured a number of drag entertainers and was reminiscent of the the Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece
Organisers of the Olympics opening ceremony have been accused of mocking Christianity with a performance that appeared to recreate Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper'.
READ MORE:Olympics opening ceremony divides viewers as some slam it as "worst ever" but others say it was the "best"Boxer Ryan Garcia posted on Instagram: "The Olympics needs to be boycotted now. You can’t disrespect religion in front of millions. This ain’t right no one watch." Zinedine Zidane, Lady Gaga, and Celine Dion were among those to lend the event star power, but a ceremony designed to be staged on the water was largely in it as athletes and performers alike were left drenched by the time the Olympic flame rose above the city on a balloon.
Lady Gaga was the first to steal the show, bursting forth from behind a pair of out-sized pink pom-poms to deliver a burlesque take on the French classic ‘Mon truc en plume’. “I always wear the Irish flag with pride and to get to do something like this is something I’ll remember forever.”
