Comedian and actor Rob Schneider announced on Sunday that he won’t be watching the 2024 Paris Olympics.
He cited the controversial performance of a drag artist as the reason.
He said that he won’t be able to watch the event, which he referred to as an “open celebration of Satan.”
In a series of tweets, Schneider criticized the performance of the drag artist, who showed his genitalia in front of kids.
He also wrote that he wasn’t sure if he was watching the Olympics or the school board meeting.
During the opening ceremony of the Olympics, a group of 18 performers, including three of the stars of Drag Race France, posed behind a long table.
A woman wearing an ornate silver headdress at the center displayed a depiction of a halo similar to that found in paintings of Jesus.
Models took to the stage during the impromptu fashion show, which also featured a number of people who mock the Last Supper.
Drag Race France’s Nicky Doll appeared on the stage during the show.
Piche and Paloma appeared as part of the performance.
According to the Olympics, the performance, which was put together by Thomas Jolly, was an interpretation of the Greek god Dionysus.
It was criticized by various celebrities and fans due to its offensive and inappropriate nature.
Actress Candace Cameron Bure criticized the performance of the drag artists in an Instagram post.
Her husband, Valeri, is an Olympic medalist.
