“I wonder if PC knew about this before she went on the podcast recently,” one person wrote on Reddit, posting the audio clip. Others in the comments section described the exchange as ‘vile’ and ‘racist’. The snippet begins with one of the hosts discussing ‘the most annoying celebrity couple’. One of them says, “There is a celebrity couple, and I don’t want to say their names, but Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. I find both of their faces very disturbing.” The other host can be heard laughing in the background.
“I want to punch them,” the first woman says, recalling what happened when she said this in an Instagram story. She said that hundreds of people sent her DMs saying that they agreed with her. In her story, she said that she had called Priyanka a ‘lesbian’, and the couple ‘disgusting’ and ‘ugly’. “The amoung of bragging and the amount of photographs and content that they are constantly posting to prove to the world that they are in love with each other is disgusting and repulsive,” she says.
People on social media do not too pleased about this. “What a disgusting thing to say about anyone. Just reading this is boiling my blood. I am not even a fan of PC or Nick. But this is vile, bigoted and 100% racist AF,” one person commented. “Why would you say all this about someone you don’t know, this is so weird and disgusting. That’s honestly sad she trusted her and Alex said this about her. IDK how Alex didn’t feel guilty or nervous even talking to her,” another person commented.
In the past, Priyanka went on the offensive when she was described in a New York magazine article as a ‘global con artist‘. The article was later deleted. The actor was featured as a guest on the Call Her Daddy podcast last week.
