New York Magazine, an actual real-life, normal magazine available for purchase at your local newsstand, 'accidentally' let a Jonas Brothers stan write an article that passed editorial muster. Hilarity ensued: New York magazine deletes article calling Priyanka Chopra a 'scam artist'

“Nicholas Jonas married into a fraudulent relationship against his will this past Saturday,” the author, Mariah 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,” the piece added.
 
It likened Chopra’s relationship with Jonas, a former boyband star turned solo musician and actor, to a business decision and a splurge on luxury items.
 
The piece ended: “Nick, if you’re reading this, find that horse and gallop away as fast as you can!”

Now, all of us used to that particular trait of fandom that vilifies any (usually female) individual who canonically presents an obstacle to OTP resolution and its RPF equivalent, which is to actually attack and seek to destroy the reputation of any celebrity crush's romantic interest, usually all over social media. And we're all used to the community-wide facepalm that comes when someone, usually at a con, makes the object of their affection personally aware of their firm beliefs.

But using your position in the mainstream press to speak your stannish truth is still a whole other level of whackadoodle.

This is what happens when you lay off all the copy editors.

It's also patently ridiculous because of the two getting married, she's the bigger star on almost every level apart from "millennial women/girls."
I recognise that as an Indian I am extremely biased, but that was especially baffling to me. Like, Priyanka Chopra is cougar/gold-digger tricking Nick Jonas into matrimony? Excuse me what now

This is why I'm glad my fannish experience was confined to myself, my brother, and my BFF when I was wee because this revelation was...something. And to see it repeating itself every damn time? :/
