After the Cut published a 1,600-word article written by comedian and writer Mariah Smith about Priyanka Chopra, backlash ensued. Lots of it. The article titled, "Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas's Love for Real?" bashed Chopra, saying that "All Nick wanted was a possible fling with Hollywood's latest It Woman, but instead he wound up staring straight at a life sentence with a global scam artist," as detailed by the Inquisitr.
Smith also suggested that Chopra was marrying Nick Jonas for her personal gain, which would seem a bit far-fetched to people who know that Priyanka is a well-known Bollywood actress. After all, you don't get more than 32 million Instagram followers unless you're a successful person in your own right. She may have gained more followers after she was linked to Nick, but she had her own fanbase for years.
The backlash from the article became so severe that the Cut decided to delete the article and issue a formal apology. But before that happened, Nick Jonas and his fiancé chimed in with their own shock at the article.
"Last night, the Cut published a post about Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra's relationship that shouldn't have gone up. We've received dozens of messages from readers expressing their anger. We want you to know that we hear you and we're sorry. The whole piece missed the mark. There is no good explanation for this other than human error and poor judgement. This was a mistake, and we apologize to our readers and to Priyanka and Nick."
