“Yeah, of course, you're up there and that's part of being a celebrity. I knew it was going to happen,” Vergara said. “You can't hide those things.”

Vergara also commented on the media's handling of her divorce news, “It wasn't bad. I have to say the press was very respectful and very nice. I thought that they were going to invent more things, you know how they usually [do]. And I was just kind of surprised, no, they kind of just said what it was and that was it.”
