Even before being harassed by protesters, she had a stand-off with her ex-husband, Nick Loeb, who tried to sue her that same year. He tried to sue her over control of the frozen embryos, trying to tell the courts he’d heard she was going to destroy them after their split, and he wanted to be able to use them in the future.
He continues to harass her legally in several states to gain control over a portion of her finances. But luckily, so far, she continues to win as judges side with her repeatedly.
#embryodefense
The June after Sofia’s star was added to the Walk of Fame in front of the Marshall’s Department Store, protesters decided to add some very unwelcome artwork to the face of it.
After they’d already harassed her after hearing she’d frozen some of her embryos in hopes of future procreation with her ex-fiance, Nick Loeb, they took to the Walk, spraying her star with graffiti. The vandals even signed it with the name of their group, “#embryodefense.”
Vergara's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Was Destroyed
Vergara had a really rough year in 2015 when her Hollywood Walk of Fame star was destroyed by protesters, who also harassed her outside of a red-carpet premiere of "Magic Mike."
Luckily, when the co-founders of the group, #embryodefense, learned about the star's vandalization, they removed it themselves, saying that they went to a drugstore across the street to buy some cleaner and scrubbed it until it came off. Well, at least they cleaned up after the mess they made.
Joe Manganiello
On "Modern Family," the actress plays Gloria, who’s married to Jay Pritchett. But in real life, Sofia Vergara married fellow actor Joe Manganiello. His breakthrough role was as Alcide Herveaux, the werewolf, in five seasons of HBO’s hit show, "True Blood."
Since then, he’s acted in several films, including the "Magic Mike" franchise, "Spider-Man," and "Justice League." But how exactly does one land the most beautiful (and highest-paid) actress in existence? That’s a question he’s been asked time and time again.
The Beginning of Forever
Sofia Vergara and her beau first met back in 2014, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. At the time, the actress was still engaged to Loeb, though after the meeting, photos surfaced of Manganiello’s head turned her way. Do you blame him?
He later admitted to checking her out, adding that he’s definitely not apologizing for it, even though he “totally got busted.” The two even bumped into each other and spoke for a while that evening. But, since she was still taken at the time, it didn’t evolve past friendly conversation that night.
