The joke was met with silence from the audience, and Lawson looked visibly uncomfortable.

Langbroek has since apologized to Lawson for the joke, and she has also apologized to the audience.

"I'm truly sorry for the offense that my joke caused," Langbroek said. "I promise that I will be more mindful of my words in the future."
