Priyanka Chopra breaks her silence on The Activist controversy: "The show got it wrong"

People

Priyanka Chopra Jonas is speaking out one day after CBS announced it was scrapping the activism reality competition that she hosted with Julianne Hough and Usher, replacing it with a documentary special. "I have been moved by the power of your voices over the past week. At its core, activism is fueled by cause and effect, and when people come together to raise their voice about something, there is always an effect," Chopra Jonas wrote on Instagram. "You were heard...The show got it wrong, and I'm sorry that my participation in it disappointed many of you. 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."
