Shocking! Priyanka Chopra Gives New York Magazine A Black Eye.

New York Magazine is probably the most respected weekly in the world, read not only by New Yorkers but circulated all over America – in fact, it even reaches world leaders.

This, of course, caused a huge uproar all across the globe resulting in The Cut deleting the article. But still, wasn’t it too late to make amends? How did this maligning article make the grade in the first place?
