What did the reporter mock her for?
Earlier this week, Sofia appeared on the Spanish talk show El Hormiguero, hosted by Pablo Motos. As she described her experience in filming ABC's popular mockumentary show Modern Family for 11 seasons between 2009 and 2020, Pablo mockingly asked her to repeat how she pronounced the name of her show.
What was Sofia's response?
Sofia snapped back promptly and said, “I say it wrong? Oh, because you speak better English than me? Ah.” When Pablo continued to grin, she continued, “How many Emmy nominations do you have in the United States? How many times did they nominate you at the Golden Globes?”
Sofia's past experience with Ellen DeGeneres
Previously, Sofia Vergara stepped up to defend comedian Ellen DeGeneres amid intense drama surrounding the talk show host, including accusations that she made fun of the Colombian star's accent during a 2015 episode.
During the discussion, the daytime host pointed out the America's Got Talent judge's English while asking why producers gave her such a complicated copy to read. Many fans took this as Ellen mocking Sofia's accent, leading the television star to defend Ellen, saying she was “in on the joke.”
Sofia had tweeted alongside the viral clip in question, "Two comedians having fun with each other to entertain. I was never a victim guys, I was always in on the joke."
