Sofía Vergara’s visit to Spain has caused a great media stir. The Colombian actress living in the United States landed in the Spanish capital to promote the new Netflix production that will premiere on the platform on January 25. This series, Griselda, stars Vergara and tells the story of one of the most important traffickers in history: Griselda Blanco.
During this week, Vergara has become one of the most searched names in our country. However, another person has been at the center of the controversy due to an interview with the protagonist of Modern Family: Pablo Motos.
Last Monday, January 8, Vergara attended El Hormiguero as a guest, one of the most watched programs on Spanish television. Although there was great expectation and millions of viewers were dying to see if the celebrity is as funny and approachable as she seems at short distances, the presenter made a series of jokes and comments that tense up the conversation.
One of the most chaotic moments of the interview was when the actress explained that she wanted the public to get to know her in a different way than the comedy she has done for years on Modern Family. Given this reflection, Motos asked her to repeat the title of the series, something that did not sit well with the guest: “Did I say it wrong? Do you speak English better than me? How many Emmys have you won? How many Golden Globes?”. The communicator also had different comments about the actress’s physique that angered the audience.
At one point, the presenter let him know that he didn’t understand why everyone liked him: ”I don’t understand what it takes to make 100% of people like him. Not even 100 percent of people like ham.” Faced with this question, Vergara answered bluntly: “But why? Do you dislike me? Why don’t you see that unanimity capable? It sounds like a bit of envy. I just don’t know if that’s a real question: what do you have? Well, you tell me that.”
Despite the fact that the interview is full of ‘tense’ moments and that Motos has received endless criticism throughout the week, many have defended that it is something agreed upon and that Vergara did not have a bad time in the conversation, but rather that He enjoyed the supposedly comical tone that existed at all times.
During the last few days we have been able to see how little by little different international media from around the world have echoed the controversial interview with Sofía Vergara and have given visibility to the fierce criticism of the public.
Media outlets such as Entertainment Tonight or the Argentine program Duro de domar are some examples of newspapers and shows that have broadcast images of the Antena 3 space. “It seemed like he was making fun of her accent,” “Con Nuestra Sofía no ”, ”Today he came to distribute beatings to El Hormiguero…” or ”How ridiculous” are some of the thousands of messages that can be read on the Internet.
