DRAG QUEEN PICHE WE MEANT NO HARM AT OLYMPICS!!
A French drag queen from the 2024 Paris Olympics ceremony is speaking up about the controversy -- telling us the whole point was to showcase France’s LGBTQ+ scene and definitely not to offend anyone.
A rep for the singer and former "Drag Race France" star Piche tells TMZ ... offending anyone or a whole religion was the last thing they were thinking about. They just saw it as a fun, joyous, pop culture moment that most of the planet felt.

Former "Full House" star Candace Cameron Bure was one of the loudest critics ... calling the production "completely blasphemous" and flat-out "disgusting."
With loads of people from the Catholic Church and other Christian groups also upset, the Olympic organizers apologized.
They said the scene wasn’t meant to reference the Last Supper -- it was just about celebrating and having fun with Dionysus, the Greek god of wine.
