Manganiello: Vergara Ridiculed My Dog During Illness
7 Oct
Summary
- Manganiello claims Vergara mocked his emotional support dog.
- He alleges she refused to hug him when he was severely ill.
- Manganiello disputes Vergara's reason for their divorce.
Joe Manganiello alleges that his ex-wife, Sofía Vergara, mistreated him while he was battling a near-fatal auto-immune disease.
In his forthcoming memoir, Bloodlines, Manganiello recounts Vergara "ridiculing" his dog, Bubbles, whom he adopted in 2019. He also claims Vergara refused to hug him, even when he begged, during his severe illness.
Manganiello contends that Vergara's assertion that his desire for children caused their divorce is inaccurate. He explains that due to his health issues and failed IVF attempts, he hesitated to have a child with her that wouldn't be biologically hers.
The actor detailed his debilitating symptoms, including excruciating pain, rashes, and bleeding, which began shortly after their 2015 wedding. His health significantly declined over seven years, leading to weight loss and emergency surgery.
Manganiello credits a shaman for helping him recover by addressing generational trauma. He is now symptom-free and engaged to Caitlin O'Connor, with whom he is considering starting a family.
