Hollywood conspiracy theories have reached new heights in recent years, ranging from speculation surrounding celebrities’ ties to the Illuminati to the use of“predictive programming”in movies and shows to control the masses.

The overarching theme is the idea that Hollywood is run by Satanic elites, a theory followed by groups such as QAnon – which we explored in ourdeep dive into the Sound of Freedom controversies.

Given theAcademy Awardsis the industry’s most prestigious event, it’s no surprise the conspiracy chat heated up last night (March 10) – including one surroundingJohn Cena’s explicit appearance.

Previous examples put forward include DaBaby wearing a diaper in public and Kylie Jenner’s wedding dress Met Gala appearance. And now viewers are arguing Cena showing up naked at the Academy Awards was a ritual too.

I’m a fan but this is just kinda sad.” A thirdaddedon X: “John Cena naked at the Oscars is 100% a humiliation ritual. There’s no other explanation for it. It’s not funny to normal people. It’s not entertaining. It’s not purposeful.”
