When Alex spoke mean things about Priyanka
{{/usCountry}}Last year, Priyanka appeared on the podcast Call Her Daddy. She talked about her life in the US, winning the Miss World pageant, her career in India and also the bullying she faced in US schools as a young girl. Alexandra listened to Priyanka and shared her own experience with bullying during their conversation. However, Alexandra had earlier said mean things about Priyanka on a public platform not too long ago.
After the Priyanka episode was released, Reddit dug out an old clip from an earlier podcast by Alexandra and Sofia Franklyn from 2020. In it, they called Priyanka and Nick Jonas ‘the most annoying couple’. “Priyanka is a lesbian, and Nick has big nipples syndrome. I just want Priyanka to stop using him as her beard,” Alexandra said as Sofia agreed. The episode was later removed.
