US social media influencer Julia Chafe apologises for ‘dissing’ Priyanka Chopra at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding
US social media influencer Julia Chafe has issued a public apology after facing backlash for allegedly ‘dissing’ actor Priyanka Chopra at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding. In a video shared on Instagram, Julia expressed regret for cutting off Priyanka during their conversation, revealing that the viral clip has garnered a staggering 50 million views.
In the apology video, Julia admitted, “I think I dissed Priyanka Chopra at Anant Ambani’s wedding. And I can not stop thinking about it. The video of me dissing has 50 million views. She was trying to tell me more, and I cut her off. It wasn’t meant to be a diss.” She went on to explain that as a huge fan of Priyanka, she was overwhelmed when the actor mentioned knowing her, leading her to divert the conversation towards Nick Jonas.
Julia emphasized her admiration for Priyanka Chopra, stating, “Priyanka, if you are seeing this, I never meant to be rude to you. I love you dearly and just know that I love you. And I’m sorry.” The social media influencer previously shared a post praising Priyanka as the ‘nicest celebrity’ she had ever met, highlighting her beauty and aura.
The incident sparked criticism from social media users, with many pointing out that Julia should have allowed Priyanka to speak and not shift the focus to Nick Jonas. Despite the controversy, Priyanka Chopra continues to stay busy with her acting projects, currently filming for ‘The Bluff’ in Australia and gearing up for ‘Head Of State’ alongside Idris Elba and John Cena.
The apology from Julia Chafe comes as a reminder of the impact of social media interactions and the importance of respectful communication, especially when engaging with public figures like Priyanka Chopra. The incident serves as a learning experience for both influencers and fans alike, highlighting the significance of handling interactions with sensitivity and respect.
