Sofia Vergara called rudest woman, accused of forgetting her past

Actress Sofia Vergara has been tagged as the “rudest woman” by Teresa Giudice, a television personality. The “Modern Family” actress was lambasted by “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” regular Teresa, 51, while she recalled meeting her in 2017, reports aceshowbiz.com. On the latest episode of her “Namaste B$tches” podcast, while chatting with co-host Melissa Pfeister about Sofia being reluctant to take a snap with her backstage at a talk show, Teresa said: “Sofia Vergara’s PR person and my PR person spoke together, and I guess the two of them said, ‘Let’s get a picture of Teresa and Sofia together’.” “I didn’t want a picture with her. I’ve never asked to take a picture with anybody. (She’s) the rudest woman I’ve ever met. I saw her whole demeanour, and then I heard her say to her PR person, ‘Why are you making me take a picture with that lady?’ “

“I was like, ‘Excuse me? I did not want to take a picture with you! I never asked to take a picture with you’. I was like, ‘How rude. You’re so not a humble person. You forgot where you came from’.”

The reality star mocked Sofia’s accent, and referenced the actress’ humble beginnings in Barranquilla, Colombia, by saying, “It’s not like she started out like being on the top. She forgot where she came from. She’s so not a down-to-earth person. I’m so not a fan of her.” Teresa previously told TMZ about Sofia, “Ugh, I can’t stand her, sorry. I hate to say that because I’m Italian, she’s Colombian, she has an accent — she has more of an accent than me. You would think she would be nice, like, she’s an immigrant — no, I’m just saying, she should be nice!” Fans blasted Teresa at the time over her comments about Sofia’s roots. The actress, who is yet to publicly address Teresa’s latest outburst, aced her US citizenship test in 2014. Teresa’s former husband Joe Giudice was deported to his native Italy in 2019 after serving a 41-month federal prison sentence for bankruptcy fraud and failing to file taxes.

Meanwhile, Sofia and Joe Manganiello are getting a divorce after being married for seven years. The actors announced the split after seven years of marriage in a joint statement recently, reports hollywoodreporter.com.

““We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” the couple shared in a statement to Page Six. “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect for our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

According to People, the two first met through Vergara’s Modern Family co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in 2014. Vergara was engaged at the time. Later, when Vergara announced her breakup, Manganiello asked Ferguson for her phone number. Vergara and Manganiello eventually tied the knot in 2015 in Palm Beach, Florida.
