Vergara, the highest-paid actress on U.S. television for the
last three years according to Forbes, posed by her new plaque
with fiance Joe Manganiello and "Modern Family" cast members.
The actress had earlier appeared on "Good Morning America",
where she spoke of her ongoing frozen embryo battle with ex-fiance
Nick Loeb.
Businessman Loeb filed a lawsuit last year seeking to take two
frozen embryos the couple created before they split.
In a New York Times Op-Ed last month, he wrote that after the
pair separated last year, he sought to take the embryos to have
them carried to term, pay all the expenses and raise the
children, but Vergara refused.
"I really want to make this the last time I talk about it
because I don't think it's fair," Vergara said in the television
interview aired on Thursday.
"I don't want to allow this person to take more advantage of my
career and try to promote himself ... This shouldn't be out
there for people to give their opinion when there's nothing to
talk about. There's papers signed."
Loeb appeared on NBC's "Today" program on the same day,
defending his lawsuit.
"This has to do with ... moral, legal, ethical concepts that are
out there about lives that we've already created," he said.
"Lives have already been created ... I wouldn't just toss them
aside, no different than a child that had been born."
