                                    Paris prosecutors announced Friday that police have launched a hate speech investigation after Thomas Jolly, the artistic director of the Olympics opening ceremony, reported receiving death threats and public insults and being defamed. Jolly filed the complaint following backlash over a controversial scene in the ceremony some saw as a parody of depictions of the Last Supper.
