Manganiello: Shaman Blamed Illness on Voodoo Curse
14 Oct
Summary
- Actor Joe Manganiello claims a shaman linked his seven-year illness to a voodoo curse.
- The shaman allegedly cited someone from Sofia Vergara's past as the curse-caster.
- Manganiello considered the possibility, noting the alleged curse's New Orleans origin.
Actor Joe Manganiello recently shared extraordinary details from his memoir, Bloodlines, concerning a prolonged mystery illness that afflicted him for seven years. He recounted an encounter with a shaman who alleged his condition stemmed from a voodoo curse.
The shaman, based in Cuba, reportedly told Manganiello that the curse was cast by someone still in love with his then-wife, Sofia Vergara. The shaman claimed the curse originated in New Orleans, a detail that resonated with Manganiello as his then-wife's former fiancé, Nick Loeb, had resided there.
These revelations shed new light on Manganiello's past health struggles and his relationship with Vergara. The couple, who married in 2015, announced their separation in July 2023 after seven years of marriage, with reports citing differing desires about having children as a contributing factor.
