Sudden Medical Emergency
Sofía Vergara, the acclaimed actress known for her role in *Modern Family*, was unable to attend the 2025 Emmy Awards held on September 14 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles due to a severe allergic reaction that required an emergency room visit. Vergara was scheduled to present the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series but had to cancel at the last minute after experiencing a "craziest eye allergy" just before leaving for the event.
In an Instagram post, Vergara shared her experience, stating, “Didn’t make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER ?? sorry I had to cancel! Craziest eye allergie [sic] right before getting in the car!” The post included images of her swollen eye and videos of her receiving treatment at the hospital, where she was seen rinsing her eye with water.
Reactions and Support
Following her announcement, Vergara received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities. *America’s Got Talent* host Terry Crews commented, “Oh no! Get well soon!??,” while other stars like Diplo and Linda Evangelista also expressed their concern. Evangelista noted the unusual nature of having an allergy in only one eye, suggesting that a dermatologist could assist.
