Joe Manganiello is responding publicly after his ex-wife, Sofia Vergara, appeared to endorse “narcissistic man” accusations in an Instagram post. The outlets report that Vergara and Manganiello separated in July 2023 after seven years of marriage, and Manganiello’s reply comes as he prepares to release his memoir.

Manganiello’s response, reported across sources, references his personal experience during the period they were together, including health difficulties that he says began around the time of their wedding. One account says he disputes claims tied to his behaviour, including allegations that he was ridiculed regarding his pet and that their relationship included dismissive actions. Another outlet frames the dispute as a direct rebuttal to the “narcissist” messaging Vergara shared, alongside Manganiello’s broader public comments ahead of his book.
