Sofia Vergara slammed by Modern Family co-star who branded her ‘rudest celebrity’ she has met

Sofia Vergara has been slammed by one of her old co-stars after they branded her the ‘rudest celebrity’.

The Colombian-American actor is of course well-known for playing Gloria Delgado-Pritchett in Modern Family. She’s had heaps of other major roles throughout her stellar career but for many, it’s her role in the legendary TV series that can never be forgotten.

But working with Vergara on the sitcom is perhaps something this star would rather forget.

Over its whopping 11 seasons, Modern Family has a whole load of celebrity cameos, from Kevin Hart and Stephanie Beatriz to James Marsden and Leslie Mann. And in 2019, Kelly Mantle guest starred in the episode, ‘The Last Halloween’.

A co-star of Vergara’s for the cameo, the drag queen appeared on The Bald and the Beautiful podcast where she was asked who was the ‘most rude celebrity’ she’s met.

Mantle was quick to say ‘Modern Family’ before revealing Vergara as her answer.

“Maybe it was just a bad day, I’m just going to say it was a bad day,” she explained. “Because she’s hilarious and beautiful and talented and gorgeous and wonderful. So I’m sure it was just a bad day.”

The star went on to say it was ‘not the most pleasant experience’ she’s had on set.

“It wasn’t toward me, it was the way some of her staff was being treated,” Mantle added.

The performer explained that during the episode, Vergara is wearing a wig and insisted against having ‘bobby pins’ used to keep it in place.

“In the shot, they yell ‘action’, and I’m supposed to put the crown on her hair, so I put the crown on and they say ‘cut’,” Mantle recalled.

“And she’s like ‘watch out for the wig, you’re putting the crown on my head’. And I said, ‘Well girl, you should have put those bobby pins in.’”

Mantle claimed it was ‘more than’ just that one exchange but ‘that was one of the little things that happened that day’ on set.

Vergara recently went viral for ‘heckling’ Jodie Foster during her win at the Golden Globes earlier this month.

Famously an awards show where the stars have a bit of a joke with one another in the audience, the Griselda star yelled out: “No, no! Not again! Give me one!”

Foster had won the best TV actress award for True Detective: Night Country, beating out Vergara for her performance in the Netflix series.
