During her appearance on the podcast “The Bald and the Beautiful” with drag queens Trixie and Katya, actress Kelly Mantle discussed her experience working with Sofia Vergara. Mantle had previously guest-starred as a drag queen in the 2019 “Modern Family” episode titled “The Last Halloween.”
“It was not the most pleasant experience I’ve ever experienced,” Mantle admitted, per the Daily Mail. “It wasn’t toward me. It was the way that some of her staff were being treated.”

She called Sofia the “rudest celebrity” and described an incident where Sofia reportedly refused to let the crew use bobby pins to secure a wig for a scene. “In the episode, she’s wearing a wig, and they kept wanting to put bobby pins in it, and she kept telling them no bobby pins,” she explained.
Kelly said Sofia then got upset during the scene when she tried to place a crown in her hair. “They yell action, and I’m supposed to put the crown on her hair,” she recalled. “So I put the crown on, and then they say cut, and she’s like, ‘Watch out for the wig! You’re putting the crown on my head!'” She then joked: “Well, girl, you should’ve used those bobby pins.”
