Don't want to miss the best from Business Standard?

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 and written by journalist Mariah Smith, 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."
