“Modern Family” Star Admits To Being Bullied
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who plays Mitchell on the hit ABC series “Modern Family,” was a victim of bullying growing up–a moment in his life that he still remembers to this day.
“I left school in the eighth grade and I went to a different school,” he said at the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network’s Respect Awards recently, as reported by E! Online. “It was hard. It was a horrible, horrible experience.”
The openly-gay actor also said that lived in fear everyday. “I’m sure a lot of it was rooted in homophobia. I mean, I was an ‘artistic,’ kid, which was AKA gay. I think a lot of people sensed that I was gay and were terrified of that. I think bullying comes from fear and insecurity.”

Sofia Vergara on ‘Modern Family’ and ‘The Smurfs’
- Cover of The Smurfs
Crave Online has an interview with Sofia Vergara, here are some of the hightlights:
CraveOnline: You look amazing. Is there anything you don’t look good in?
Sofia Vergara: Well, I don’t look that good in bathing suits anymore.
CraveOnline: But I’m sure it’s still awesome.
Sofia Vergara: Everything is still up there a little bit. Yeah, I would have to say it’s still awesome.
CraveOnline: How important is it for you to be portraying a mixed-race couple on TV?
Sofia Vergara: It’s fantastic. I hope that this new season of TV shows for all the networks, maybe they’ll try to have another Gloria in their cast or that some Latin actress got a job. That would be fantastic. It’s very difficult. Now, it’s less difficult than ever but it’s still, you cannot get as many roles as a normal American person. So for a black actor I’m sure it’s the same.
CraveOnline: I hear you are going to be in the Smurfs movie. Are you a Smurf?
Sofia Vergara: No, no. I’m an executive, a makeup executive. We filmed already in New York during the spring and it’s coming out next summer. Hank Azaria is Gargamel. He looks unbelievable.
CraveOnline: What do you get to do with the Smurfs?
Sofia Vergara: Nothing really. All my scenes are with Gargamel and Neil Patrick Harris. There are Smurfs out there but I don’t see them so I never really have to talk to them which takes hours, those filming with animation.
“Modern Family” Ratings Strong
