Sophie Turner Snubbed Priyanka Chopra in a Subtle Way Amid Her Joe Jonas Divorce

Sophie Turner snubbed Priyanka Chopra

Sophie Turner unfollowed her former sister-in-law Priyanka Chopra—actually, neither follow each other anymore. But, Turner continues to follow Nick, Kevin Jonas and his wife, Danielle Jonas, as well as her estranged husband.

Jonas and Turner announced their divorce on September 6, 2023 in a joint statement on Instagram. “After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision, and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children,” the pair’s statement read.

According to an insider who spoke to Life & Style, Chopra felt “torn” about her brother-in-law’s split. According to the outlet, she was “very close” to Turner and she’s now struggling to navigate the “mess” of her sister-in-law’s divorce.

“Sophie and Joe kept a lot of their friends separate, but a few are caught in the middle of this mess,” an insider told the outlet. “She and So­phie were very close,” the source added, referring to Chopra.

“There was once a time Sophie thought she and Joe would move to London and so would Nick and Priyanka,” the insider continued. “Priyanka loves Sophie and her nieces and doesn’t want to do anything to jeopar­dize them being in her life.”

What did The Cut article say?

The controversial article by The Cut was titled “Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Love For Real?” and tracked Chopra’s career and relationship, suggesting that she married Jonas for money and fame, rather than love. The article, which can still be read via a cached version, talks about how Chopra told Nick to text her, instead of DM her, because her team reads her messages and how Jonas had to ask Chopra’s manager for approval to talk to her for five minutes longer at a party. The writer suggested the stories were evidence that Chopra’s team sought certain men who could boost her career. “She was indicating that he’d been added to the short list of Hollywood men that she and her team would test out for a possible romance,” the article read.

The article also used a quote from Chopra in 2017 about how she prefers the “high life” and isn’t “stingy” when it comes to money as evidence that her marriage was more for a luxurious wedding than for love. The writer also mentioned brands, like Ralph Lauren and Amazon, which sponsored certain aspects of Chopra and Jonas’s wedding as further proof that her wedding was a money-maker. “Priyanka and Nick are finding ways for their ‘love’ to make them money.”

It didn’t take long for fans to slam The Cut for publishing it. Many took to Twitter to call out the publication accusing Chopra of being money-hungry, with many calling the article “racist’ and “sexist.” Many also argued that the article was ageist, given its suggestion that Chopra and Jonas wouldn’t work out with their 8-year age difference, if there wasn’t an underlying scam.

Since the backlash, The Cut removed the article from its site and apologized. “Last night, the Cut published a post about Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra’s relationship that shouldn’t have gone up. We’ve received dozens of messages from readers expressing their anger. We want you to know that we hear you and we’re sorry. The whole piece missed the mark. There is no good explanation for this other than human error and poor judgment. This was a mistake, and we apologize to our readers and to Priyanka and Nick.,” the publication wrote.
