Sofia Vergara defends Ellen after host is accused of mocking star accent


Sofia Vergara is set to defend Ellen DeGeneres amid intense drama surrounding the talk show host, including accusations that she amused herself with the Colombian star’s accent during a 2015 episode.

The new resurfaced clip finds Vergara, 48, and DeGeneres, 62, about a CoverGirl commercial they filmed together, with the day-host pointing to the English judge of ‘America’s Got Talent’ while asking why producers gave her such an intricate copy to read. Many fans took issue with this when DeGeneres mocked Vergara’s accent of the TV star defending her other funny lady, saying she was “joking.”

“Two comedians who have fun with each other to entertain. I was never a victim guys, I was always on the joke, ‘Vergara tweeted next to the to the viral clip.

While some agreed that the two women did nothing more than share a laugh, others refused to cut the DeGeneres snail.

‘My parents, who have heavy Spanish accents, did not have the option’ to be joking ‘, wrote one disappointed tweeter. ‘Instead, they were joking. And as a child of immigrants, I was always taken aback because of that. Your “entertainment” may lead some to think that they have a free pass to mock. “

Former staff members have recently spoken out against the comic strip, claiming that they created a toxic work environment for their team and citing everything from general rudeness to higher-level employees who engage in sexual abuse. The allegations prompted WarnerMedia to launch an official investigation with the assistance of a third-party company.

Three senior producers – executive producers Ed Glavin and Kevin Leman and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman – have been fired from the Warner Bros.-divided syndicate strip.
