GT Communications Gemma Tognini has hit out at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games after the opening ceremony made an “insensitive” mockery of the Last Supper with a recreation that featured performers in drag.

Olympics organisers have since issued an apology following the mounting backlash it received online over religious depictions during the opening ceremony on Friday.

“It's not something anyone would have done to another religion,” Ms Tognini said.

“I did feel like that was a really insensitive offensive thing to do.”
