• Sophie Turner recently responded to an article published by The Cut, an online branch of New York Magazine, which called Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ relationship “fraudulent.”
  • “This is wildly inappropriate and totally disgusting,” Turner, who is engaged to Joe Jonas, wrote on Twitter.
  • Other people on Twitter have criticized the article, which appears to be at least slightly satirical, as “too harsh” or “uncalled for.” Some called it racist and sexist.

Sophie Turner recently jumped to her future sister-in-law’s defense after an article published by The Cut suggested that Priyanka Chopra had essentially tricked Nick Jonas into marriage.

“This is wildly inappropriate and totally disgusting,” Turner, who is engaged to Joe Jonas and attended Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding this weekend, wrote on Twitter.

Approximately one hour after Turner’s tweet, the article was removed and replaced with an editor’s note: “Upon further editorial review, we found this story did not meet our standards. We’ve removed it and apologize.”

In its original form, the article (written by freelancer Mariah Smith) was titled, "Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas' Love for Real?"

While it appeared to be at least slightly satirical, Smith posited that Chopra, who is 10 years older than her husband, had been vetting various candidates for marriage.

Smith wrote that Chopra's professed interest in a lavish lifestyle led her to desire a moneymaking wedding using various sponsorships, including Amazon, Tiffany, Ralph Lauren, and Google Pixel 3.

"That's right: Nicholas Jonas married into a fraudulent relationship against his will this past Sunday, December 1, and I'll tell you why I think so," Smith wrote. "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."

Both of these lines were deleted in an updated version of the piece. The article was later removed altogether.

Some fellow writers and freelance journalists praised the piece upon publication.

Other readers, however, criticized the piece for being "too harsh" or "uncalled for."

Many pointed out that Chopra is already successful, wealthy, and respected in her own right - and would therefore have no use for a pseudo-marriage.

Writer and editor Krutika Mallikarjuna wrote that "60% of that piece was based on a lack of understanding of hindu wedding ceremonies and looking at the cultural norms of millions of people as weird and something that needs to be forced on other people."

Writer Scaachi Koul echoed this sentiment, saying "only people who have had a multi-day indian wedding foisted upon them are allowed to complain about the multi-day indian weddings of others."

Some said the article had racist, sexist, or xenophobic implications.

Smith didn't respond to INSIDER's request for comment, nor did representatives for Turner, Chopra, or Jonas.
