Priyanka Chopra Jonas Issues A Statement On Outrage Against 'The Activist'; Says, ‘I'm Sorry My Participation In It Disappointed Many’
Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram to respond to the outrage against ‘The Activist', which invited huge criticism for being ‘tone-deaf’ and 'insensitive'.
Global icon Priyanka Chopra has responded to the outrage against her upcoming series ‘The Activist’ on social media. The show, which features Priyanka, actor-singer Julianne Hough and singer Usher as judges, was slammed by many for being ‘tone-deaf’ and 'insensitive'. Priyanka, on Thursday, took to Instagram to address 'The Activist' controversy. In her statement, the actress said she is moved by the power of people’s voices and also apologised for disappointing many with her participation.
Priyanka wrote, “I have been moved by the power of your voices over the past week. At its core, Activism is fuelled by cause and effect, and when people come together to raise their voice about something, there is always an effect. You were heard. The show got it wrong, and I'm sorry that my participation in it disappointed many of you.”
She added, “The intention was always to bring attention to the people behind the ideas and highlight the actions and impact of the causes they support tirelessly. I'm happy to know that in this new format, their stories will be the highlight, and I'm proud to collaborate with partners who have their ear to the ground and know when it's time to hit pause and re-evaluate.”
“There is a global community of activists who fight the fight every single day and put their blood, sweat and tears into creating change, but more often than not, they are rarely heard or acknowledged. Their work is so important and they too deserve to be recognized and celebrated. Thank you to each and every one of you for all that you do,” the statement concluded.
Priyanka’s statement comes a day after Global Citizen offered an apology saying that it would change the format of ‘The Activist’ to a one-time documentary and thus, the show will be shot again.
