After losing job and friends, stand-up comedienne apologizes again, this time in tears, for upsetting cultural conservatives in North Ossetia

Under pressure because of a joke from last year about ethnic Ossetians, stand-up comedienne Ariana Lolaeva has now apologized twice in tearful messages on social media. The apologies follow a video from a "Roast Battle" in 2020 that started spreading in North Ossetian online groups on October 9, 2021. In the footage, fellow comic Alexander Ni tells Lolaeva that she has "Ossetian pie between her thighs." As the news outlet Baza explains, this dish has specifical significance for Ossetians particularly because it's associated with the "rite of the three pies," which according to some versions symbolizes God, the Sun, and the Earth.
