Totes confused by this piece calling Priyanka Chopra a "global scam artist". Is the problem her lavish living (which tbf is routine celeb behavior/spending) or the fact that it's a brown Indian woman successfully monetizing her life? https://t.co/7FT7FcOzer — Nishita Jha (@NishSwish) December 5, 2018

Your article is a load of BS laced with racism and blatant stupidity. Don't me @ cus I am an Indian like the woman you have spewed venom on. There's a difference between an analysis or being crass. This was crass AF, woman. #PriyankaChopra https://t.co/ppXhGRcLS0 — Sruthi Sahasranaman (@paradoxinprowl) December 5, 2018

Hating on a successful, self made brown Indian woman seems to be a thing. Since you can't deal with PC's global fandom, bring her down with your hate. Oh and the writer is a woman of colour herself. Pathetic and disgusting. #PriyankaChopra https://t.co/gGgjWKeg3s — Amena (@Fashionopolis) December 5, 2018

This is an unnecessary and spiteful attack. The piece is ridiculous (part of me still can’t believe it’s not a spoof), and it’s a shame that a successful Indian woman can’t enjoy her success without being described as scheming and manipulative. https://t.co/dZS07511uj — Sarah Shaffi (@sarahshaffi) December 5, 2018

Yes I'm sure Priyanka & her team thought let's trap a successful American star to cash in on the dollarssss. So naturally they went with a boy worth $3m less than PC, famous for Camp Rock & the inspiration behind Miley Cyrus hit 7 Things I Hate About Youhttps://t.co/hARkrSB2GW — Faima Bakar (@FaimaBakar) December 5, 2018

There is an art to dissecting celebrity culture, and this dumb, petty, misogynistic, racist piece of trash isn’t it. I really don’t feel like listing the many ways @TheCut fucked up on Hindu culture before even getting to the banality of this dumb story. https://t.co/mUCDCm8xaG — Beejoli Shah (@beejoli) December 5, 2018

WTF Priyanka Chopra is a Miss World, top Bollywood & Hollywood actor & businesswoman. But older brown bride marrying a younger (less successful, sorry) guy in a PR-laden celebrity wedding & she's suddenly a "global scam artist" & desperate husband hunter.https://t.co/0j0aYgZnnL — Sharanya Haridas 🦋 (@haridassharanya) December 5, 2018

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 — Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamakapoor) 5 December 2018

y’all should’ve had enough sense to not publish it in the first place https://t.co/5HknhJzfFU — sai (@Saisailu97) December 5, 2018

A prominent website apologized today after running an article calling the Indian actress Priyanka Chopra a "modern-day scam artist".The opinion piece by writer Mariah Smith was taken down by The Cut and replaced with a statement:"Upon further editorial review, we found this story did not meet our standards. We’ve removed it and apologize."The Cut describes itself as a "premier destination for women with stylish minds", covering politics, feminism, work, relationships and a range of other topics. It is owned by the prestigious New York magazine.The article was originally titled: Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Love for Real? , claiming: "[Priyanka] is a modern-day scam artist, in my opinion."And: "Nicholas Jonas married into a fraudulent relationship against his will this past Saturday, December the 1st, and I’ll tell you why I think so."It concluded: "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. Even more upsetting, she’s a scam artist who never even took the time to make sure he was comfortable riding a horse before arranging for him to enter their wedding ceremony on horseback."The article attracted a wave of criticism on social media, with many calling it sexist and racist.asked Mariah Smith for a comment but did not hear back.
