French authorities have opened an investigation into allegations of cyberbullying and hate speech targeting Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony. The investigation follows a wave of online harassment, including death threats, directed at Jolly after parts of the ceremony were criticized for allegedly mocking a biblical scene. The organizers of the Olympics have firmly condemned the harassment, and French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed his support for Jolly, defending artistic freedom and condemning the threats. The mayor of Paris has also offered her unwavering support to Jolly. Jolly has faced vitriolic criticism from conservatives and has filed hate crime complaints.
