Joe Jonas and his fiance Sophie Turner have slammed an article for calling Priyanka Chopra a "modern-day scam artist" over her marriage to his brother, American singer Nick Jonas.

The article, published on The Cut website, has been written by journalist Mariah Smith and it claimed that Nick shares a "fraudulent relationship against his will". The piece is full of racist, first world complex and misogynist undertones.

One of the portions of the article read, "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."
Joe wrote, "This is disgusting. @TheCut should be ashamed to have someone write such evil words. What Nick & Pri have is Beautiful Love. Thank u, Next."
Singer Sona Mohapatra tweeted, "Deeply disgusting. To character assassinate a hardworking, driven, achiever like Priyanka Chopra in this warped,petty manner & for @TheCut to publish such a low-brow piece is the lowest of the lows. 'Priyanka's plan to make this Nick Jonas opportunity her forever b***h' ?!!? Sick."
Actor Swara Bhasker said, "Depressed with the state of the world and current affairs? Here is some good old fashioned puerile filth published by TheCut to add some pointless venom to your day. Also someone invite Mariah to an Indian wedding, might assuage some of her misguided angst! Yellow Journalism."
