Sofia Vergara'S 'Rudest Celebrity' Label Sparks Heated Debate

Sofia Vergara Faces Criticism Over On-Set Behavior

Sofia Vergara, the beloved star of Modern Family, is catching some heat after a former guest star shared less-than-flattering stories about their time on set. Kelly Mantle, who appeared as a dragon queen in the 2019 episode "The Last Halloween," didn't hold back on the podcast "The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie and Katya." Mantle labeled Vergara as the "rudest celebrity" she had ever encountered, igniting a swirl of reactions.

“It was not the most pleasant experience I’ve ever experienced,” Mantle shared. “It wasn’t toward me. It was the way that some of her staff were being treated.”

The Infamous Wig Incident

The drama, it seems, centered around a wig-related incident during filming. As reported by Daily Mail, Vergara resisted wearing bobby pins to secure her wig, leading to a tense moment on set. Mantle recounted being told to place a crown on Vergara's head, only to receive a warning about disturbing the wig. "Well, girl, you should have put those bobby pins," Mantle jokingly retorted.

Despite the harsh words, Mantle conceded that it might have been a bad day for Vergara, recognizing her talent and popularity in Hollywood. "Maybe it was a bad day," she reflected, acknowledging Vergara's humor and beauty.

Rumors and Reactions

While Vergara hasn't addressed these claims, she's been making headlines for other reasons, too. Recently, she was spotted with Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, sparking dating rumors. However, sources close to the situation clarified to E! News that their lunch was a friendly gathering, not a romantic rendezvous.

The incident has also sparked mixed reactions online, with some defending Vergara's straightforward nature as a cultural trait, while others question celebrity behavior in general. "No smoke without fire," one user commented, capturing the divided opinions on Vergara's alleged rudeness.

Past Relationships and Public Perception

Vergara, who has been open about her personal life, was previously married to Joe Manganiello until their separation in July 2023. Meanwhile, Hamilton is known for his past relationship with Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls.

As the debate around Vergara's demeanor continues, it's clear that public perception remains as complex and multifaceted as the celebrities themselves.
