AceShowbiz - French DJ Barbara Butch claimed she's been receiving death threaths over her controversial cameo in an Olympics opening ceremony and it was bad enough until she had to file police reports. The self-proclaimed "love-activist," however, even got more hate for making the move.

The Paris Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Variety that a complaint for cyber-harassment was received. "The national body in charge of combatting against online hate speech (PNLH) has appointed the central office in charge of fighting crimes against humanity and hate crimes (OCLCH) to conduct an investigation into the discriminating messages referring to the religion or sexual orientation that were addressed to her or posted online and flagged," they said in a statement.

"The facts could potentially qualify as abuse aggravated by discrimination, death threats and public incitement to attempt on the life or physical integrity of people," they added. Butch herself posted a statement from her attorney, Audrey Msellati, who said she's been "the target of an extremely violent campaign of cyber-harassment and defamation."

"She has been threatened with death, torture and rape, and has also been the target of numerous antisemitic, homophobic, sexist and grossophobic insults. Barbara Butch condemns this vile hatred directed at her, what she represents and what she stands for," read the message. "She is today filing several complaints against these acts, whether committed by French nationals or foreigners, and intends to prosecute anyone who tries to intimidate her in the future."

In her own message, Butch declared, "Through my DJ work and my activism, I've always promoted love and inclusivity - for me, this is what will save the world, even when it's falling apart." She continued, "Today, however, I''m the target of yet another - particularly violent - cyber-harassment. Although at first I decided not to speak out to let the haters cool down, the messages I receive are increasingly extreme. All because I've had the honor of representing my country's diversity through art and music, alongside other artists and performers I admire."

"Whatever some may say, I exist," the artist stressed. "I've never been ashamed of who I am, and I take responsibility for everything - including my artistic choices. All my life, I've refused to be a victim: I won't shut up. I'm not afraid of those who hide behind a screen, or a pseudonym, to spew their hatred and frustrations. I will fight them without ever trembling."

Butch's post, however, backfired since people continued attacking her. "WHAT DID YOU EXPECT??? A STANDING OVATION??? Shame on you," one person fumed, while another argued, "Disgusting. Leave Christianity alone."
