Here are some more photos of Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello at the Met Gala on Monday. I think he came to NYC to be with Sofia during her publicity tour for Hot Pursuit, plus he wanted to escort her to the Met Gala. I think that’s their dynamic, at least I hope that’s their dynamic. I want to believe that Joe is very much a “You do what you want for your career and I’ll support you every step of the way” kind of guy. Unlike Sofia’s ex, Nick Loeb.
As we discussed last week, Nick Loeb wrote a New York Times op-ed about his lawsuit against Sofia. He wants custody of the two embryos they created together, because he believes “life begins at fertilization” and he wants to implant the embryos into a gestational carrier and raise the babies himself. Sofia is fine with the embryos remaining frozen. Loeb’s op-ed was particularly crazy, and seemed very much like an attempt to publicly manipulate and humiliate his ex-fiancée. Up until this point, Sofia has only released one official statement (her publicist has leaked a few tabloid stories though). But on Monday, Sofia appeared on the Howard Stern show and of course Stern asked her about everything. Here’s the audio – the Loeb stuff starts around the 38:30 mark. (Some minor NSFW language.)
Sofia said that didn’t read Loeb’s NYT op-ed, and when asked about Loeb’s lawsuit, she says it “makes no sense” and a child “needs a loving relationship of parents that get along, that don’t hate each other…I don’t hate him but he obviously has a problem with me! A kid needs parents. I wouldn’t imagine anyone saying that it’s sane to bring to the world kids that are already set up, everything wrong for them. It would be so selfish.”
When asked about the legal standing Loeb has, Sofia just sort of shrugs it off, saying, “There is law. You signed papers, legal papers, and if it was so serious for him, this issue – which I totally respect it is serious for someone – then you should have taken it more serious at the time like I did…there is a contract.” She explains it in more detail and says she isn’t worried about a judge siding with Loeb because their two contracts (they did it twice, after all) are completely valid.
