This week, the controversial article in New York Magazine ‘The Cut’, questioning Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas marriage. Priyanka of being a ‘global scam artist’ and ‘defrauding’ Nick Jonas into a relationship got deleted after having criticism all over the world.
The piece immediately drew a backlash from Indian readers including Bollywood actors and high-profile journalists. Jonas’ brother Joe and his fiancee, Sophie Turner, also voiced complaints at the “disgusting” descriptions of their sister-in-law.
Have a look.
For a publication that “shows women’s what they are made of” @TheCut has a lot to answer for . The article on @priyankachopra was sexist , racist and disgusting. Also it’s written by a woman which is so sad. It reeks of envy and bitterness. @mRiah shame on you! https://t.co/bmbbX7LrAT

This is wildly inappropriate and totally disgusting. Very disappointed that The Cut would give anyone a platform to spew such bullshit. https://t.co/iYKaifKJP6

This is disgusting. @TheCut should be ashamed to have someone write such evil words. What Nick & Pri have is Beautiful Love. Thank u, Next. https://t.co/G3hvXmhm9O

So the writer of the article, Mariah Smith, tweeted an apology saying, “I sincerely apologize to Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas and to the readers I offended and hurt with my words. I do not condone racism, xenophobia, or sexism. I take full responsibility for what I wrote and I was wrong, I am truly sorry.”
Have a look.

A few days ago when Priyanka Chopra was asked to comment on the same at an event in Delhi, the global icon had said, “I don’t even want to react or comment. It’s not even in my stratosphere. I’m in a happy place at this moment. These kinds of random things can’t disturb it.”
Now, with an apology from the author of the article, a response from Priyanka is awaited.
