Actress Julie Bowen has taken matters into her own hands with regards to her alleged feud with Sofia Vergara, deciding to set the record straight with Ellen DeGeneres.
In an episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that aired on Wednesday, Julie Bowen addressed rumors about the two "Modern Family" stars, who have worked together on the show for eight seasons in a row, allegedly feuding with one another.
"Every now and again I get a call or you get an email that says, 'Well, so and so trash mag will be running a story that you - and this week it was - are icy to Sofia Vergara because you're jealous of her fame,'" she told the talk show host, according to People.
Julie Bowen added: "So I email her last night and then we talk and I'm like, 'What should I say?' because we're friends. I'm like, 'What should I say? You're funny.'" And Sofia Vergara, she says, simply responded by lending Julie Bowen one of her blouses, which the 41-year-old ended up wearing during her guest appearance on the talk show.
In the same interview, Julie Bowen also confessed that she nearly did not go through with the show at all because she was pregnant with her twins, who are now seven years of age, at that time. "I would go home and cry, I thought, 'I'm never going to get this and it's greatest job in the world,'" she admitted, according to the New York Daily News.
As a result, Julie Bowen "took herself out of first place" for the role of Claire Dunphy, and had found another job. But she eventually did "some scrambling" just so she could get the job back. "When I think of that it can keep me up in the middle of the night," she admits.
"Modern Family" is now on its eighth season and airs every Wednesday night on ABC. Watch the video of Julie Bowen's interview with Ellen DeGeneres below:
