An OCU “priest,” Ruslan Usmedinsky, suggested that women buy cassocks for their men to use as props for sexual role-playing, claiming that it can strengthen relationships. He made the statement during the stand-up show “A Not-So-Serious Conversation,” hosted by comedian Dmytro Tiutiun.
During the discussion, Usmedinsky complained that after launching his TikTok channel he began receiving unwanted attention from women. According to him, women started writing “terrible things” in the comments, and some even asked him to perform a private “intimate confession” at their homes. The OCU cleric said he is irritated by women who approach him “not for the services of a priest.” “They have some kind of image of sexual fantasies and they turn to me,” Usmedinsky said.
To such women he advised: “Find a man who will love you. Love him, buy him a cassock, and fantasize – after all, it strengthens your family,” the OCU cleric suggested.
Elsewhere in the interview, he said that when he sprinkles people with holy water, some women get water in their mouths and spit it out. In such cases, Usmedinsky tells them: “We do not spit!” This remark by the “priest” caused the host to burst into laughter.
Earlier, the UOJ reported that the OCU had explained the use of a prayer book in a restroom.
