The controversy began when she signed a petition opposing a French law seen as a tool to silence criticism of Israel’s Gaza actions — a move she now regrets and has withdrawn. Known for her LGBTQ advocacy, Butch also faced verbal abuse and physical threats during the incident. Her ordeal echoes her past controversy at the Paris Olympics opening ceremony, where her drag and dance performance drew backlash. This episode captures the high-stakes collision of activism, free speech, and artistic freedom in today’s polarized world.
