Police investigate threats after opening ceremony

Paris prosecutors say police have opened a hate speech investigation following a complaint by Olympics opening ceremony artistic director Thomas Jolly over ****** threats.

The Paris prosecutors’ office said in a statement that Jolly filed a police complaint on Tuesday, four days after the opening ceremony, for ****** threats, “public insults” and “defamation.”

Jolly said he has been “the target of threatening messages and insults on social networks criticising his ******* orientation and his wrongly-assumed ******** roots,” the statement said.

France’s Central Office for Combating ******* Against Humanity and Hate ******* has been charged with the investigation.

Jolly’s complaint comes after the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony prompted a storm of outrage, including ****** comments from Donald Trump, in the wake of a contentious scene featuring drag queens and other performers.

Although Jolly has repeatedly said that he wasn’t inspired by “The Last Supper,” critics interpreted part of the show as a mockery of Leonardo Da Vinci’s painting showing ****** ******* and his apostles.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo expressed “unwavering support” of Jolly in the face of the threats and harassment.

With his opening ceremony, “Jolly held our values high,” Hidalgo said in a statement on Friday.

“It was a pride and an honour for Paris to be able to count on his talent to magnify our city and tell the world who we are.

“Paris will always be on the side of artists, of creation and therefore, on the side of freedom.”

Barbara Butch, a popular DJ and LGBTQ+ icon who performed in the show, also said she suffered a torrent of online threats.

Butch has filed a complaint alleging online ****** and harassment, which police are also investigating.
