A storm of outrage about the Paris Olympics' opening ceremony has taken a legal turn, with a DJ who performed at the show saying her lawyer is filing complaints over a torrent of threats and other abuse that the LGBTQ+ icon has suffered online in the ceremony's wake.
Barbara Butch's lawyer said in a letter posted to the DJ's Instagram on Tuesday that Butch “has been threatened with death, torture and rape, and has also been the target of numerous anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist and grossophobic insults".
