The initial article had the writer calling Priyanka a “global scam artist”. After a few hours, some changes were made to the article but now the website has pulled it down completely. The editors note on the website says, “Upon further editorial review, we found this story did not meet our standards. Weve removed it and apologize.”

Priyankas new family members Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner also criticised the article. Sophie took to Twitter and wrote, “This is wildly inappropriate and totally disgusting. Very disappointed that The Cut would give anyone a platform to spew such bullsh*t.”

Earlier, Indian celebrities including Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Sona Mohapatra had all found this article extremely problematic and expressed their disgust on Twitter.

The earlier version of the article read, “Priyanka: She is a modern-day scam artist, in my opinion. Thats right: Nicholas Jonas married into a fraudulent relationship against his will this past Saturday, December the 1st, and Ill tell you why I think so.”

The article also spoke of Priyanka and Nicks lavish wedding as it read, “Priyanka and Nick are finding ways for their love make them money – circumventing the methods used by the celebrities of yore, who stuck to selling their wedding or baby photos to magazines.”
