Social media thought they spotted a performer from the controversial 2024 Olympics opening ceremony who exposed himself.
It did appear that one of the men in the background had one of his testicles drop from his pants while French singer Philippe Katerine sang.
The performer, dressed in an open black jacket and glittery shorts, had his sack exposed for around 30 seconds before his genital area was blocked by a bed of fruit and flowers. At least, that’s what some viewers saw.
Folks were convinced the male had shown his genitals on live television. That segment of the ceremony was already controversial as is; exposed man parts weren’t going to do it any favors. But what appeared to be a testicle turned out to be a hole in his pantyhose, which continued to grow while he danced.
The focus would shift to a troupe floating on the River Seine. By the time cameras cut back to the main scene, the hole was a lot bigger, making it that much easier for the audience to see.

There Were Plenty Of Errors At Olympics Opening Ceremony
The wardrobe malfunction was hardly the only blunder from the opening ceremony at the 2024 Paris Games. The Olympic flag was also hoisted upside down in one of the most embarrassing flag-raising incidents ever.
Prior to that, the South Korean team was incorrectly introduced as the athletes were ushered onto boats and taken down the Seine.
The games have been mired in controversy ever since, and there will likely be more to come before these olympics are over.
