During a Thursday appearance on Good Morning America, Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara addressed the ongoing embryo battle with her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb.
“I really want to make this, like, the last time I talk about it because I don’t think it’s fair,” Vergara said.
“I’ve been working very hard for 20 years to get to this point where I am, enjoying my movie,” she said of her new film Hot Pursuit, costarring Reese Witherspoon.
“I promote all my movies, all my work, but I don’t like promoting my private life and I don’t understand why this person…I don’t want to allow this person to take more advantage of my career and try to promote himself and get press for this,” she continued.
She added: “It shouldn’t be out there for people to give their opinion when there’s nothing to talk about. There’s papers signed. There is a court date. He shouldn’t be creating something so ugly out of nothing.”
While the actress is “super happy” at this point in her life, she does not understand why media outlets are giving Loeb a voice.
“Just with the press, it’s like, and allowing somebody to invent things and create press for himself,” said Vergara, who is mom to 23-year-old son Manolo from a previous relationship. “He’s not an actor. He’s not a celebrity. It’s like, why? Why are they allowing him to do that?”
Loeb, a businessman and banking heir, penned an op-ed last week in the New York Times to explain why he wants to “protect” the embryos.
