Sofia Vergara was left so unsettled by a joke about her love life on America’s Got Talent that she stormed off the set.
The judge was sitting a lie detector test during one episode this week, explaining all about her fellow stars and her time starring in Modern Family.
But when Howie Mandel aimed yet another joke at Sofia’s relationship status after her split from Joe Manganiello, the segment came to an abrupt halt.

Howie asked whether Sofia was “interested in” anyone in the audience, to which she yelled: “That’s it!”, removing the cuff from her arm and storming back to her normal seat.

Though the audience erupted into laughter, host Terry Crews told viewers: “I think she’s done, I think she’s done.”
Thankfully it seems Sofia got over it, and the show continued as normal.
It’s not the first time Howie has made Sofia a little uncomfortable with his jibes. Back in August, he told one performer: “If you’re looking for eligible bachelors, you should’ve talked to Sofía. She’s in the market right now.”
Sofia was able to laugh it off, but host Terry warned: “No. We are not doing that.”

Sofia herself has admitted to being single, joking when one stand-up comedian referred to her as “Sofia Viagra”: “I’m single!”
She confirmed her split with Joe back in July, after seven years of marriage.
“We have made the difficult decision to divorce,” a statement from the pair read.
They continued: “As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives.”

Joe filed divorce papers shortly after Sofia’s 51st birthday – working with the same divorce lawyer who represented Kim Kardashian and Angelina Jolie.
They cited “irreconcilable differences”, with sources claiming their “different attitudes” led their marriage to break down.
One insider claimed: “She has a temper and gets upset over stupid things very easily whereas Joe tries to let things bounce off of him and go with the flow.
“That was not really seen while they were falling in love, but then the true versions of themselves started showing and they just got annoyed with each other, choosing work over hanging out.”
