The Tragic Real-Life Story Of Sofia Vergara
Feb 19 2021
In 2020, Sofía Vergara ended her 11-year tenure as Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on ABC's beloved sitcom Modern Family. Off-screen, Vergara's life was nothing like Gloria's. One wrong move and her life could've gone very differently. Let's take a look back at the life of Sofía Vergara.

After Sofía Vergara moved to the U.S., she soon landed a gig hosting a travel show called Fuera de Serie for Telemundo in 1995. Good fortune didn't last long for the future A-lister, as her older brother Rafael was killed in Colombia in the late 90s. In 2011, Vergara told Parade his death was a nightmare, adding that her family was successful, making them targets for kidnapping.

Sofía then brought her family to her home in Miami for safety. She recalled to Parade:

"Mother was like a zombie. I got a big house and we all lived together. I am so grateful to be in this country."

In 2013, National Enquirer claimed that the investigation into Rafael's death was being reopened after new witnesses were uncovered. Vergara took to Twitter to express her feelings about the story, declaring:

"This is not news. This is disrespectful. We know everything we need to know about my brother's death."
