Sofia Vergara Claps Back At Interviewer Mocking Accent and ‘Modern Family’ Pronunciation

In a recent episode of the Spanish-language talk show El Hormiguero, Sofía Vergara faced an interview moment that showcased both her quick wit and unyielding confidence. Host Pablo Motos, with a heavy exaggeration of Vergara’s Colombian accent, questioned her about her experience on the iconic sitcom Modern Family.

Undeterred by the apparent mockery, Vergara responded with a blend of humor and assertiveness. “I say it wrong? Oh, because you speak better English than me? Ah,” she quipped. Without missing a beat, she highlighted her achievements, turning the tables on Motos by asking about his Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, of which he had none.

This exchange not only showcased Vergara’s linguistic prowess but also emphasized her accomplishments in the entertainment industry. With eight combined Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, Vergara stands as a testament to her talent and success.

Vergara’s journey with her accent has been one of self-discovery and acceptance. Despite facing criticism and accusations of faking it, she addressed the struggle to conform in the past. “When I would go to auditions, I would get super self-conscious of what I was saying,” she revealed. However, she eventually embraced her unique sound, declaring, “This accent is never going to change.”

The incident on El Hormiguero not only highlighted Vergara’s resilience but also shed light on the challenges she overcame in the pursuit of authenticity. Her response serves as a powerful reminder that success is not confined to linguistic conformity but is a result of talent, determination, and the ability to gracefully navigate challenging situations.
