Sofia Vergara's Emergency Room Visit Leaves Fans Concerned

Colombian bombshell Sofia Vergara has been hospitalized with an eye condition, forcing her to cancel her presenting gig at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night.

The 53-year-old America's Got Talent judge took to Instagram to share a cryptic message, revealing that she had been rushed to the emergency room just hours before taking the stage. "Didn't make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER," she wrote alongside a photo of herself reclining on a hospital bed.

The 53-year-old AGT judge - who boasts 59.3M social media followers - announced on Instagram: 'Didn't make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER. Sorry I had to cancel! Craziest eye [allergy] right before getting in the car!'

The news has left fans and colleagues alike concerned for Vergara's health. Terry Crews, her fellow America's Got Talent judge, offered his well-wishes on Instagram, writing "Get well soon!" while Snoop Dogg posted a praying hands emoji to show his support.

Other celebrities took to social media to offer their condolences, including Linda Evangelista, who commented that it was "uncommon" for an allergy to only affect one eye. DJ Diplo and Armie Hammer's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers also weighed in on the situation, with Diplo posting worried emojis and Chambers writing "All the healing vibes."

Vergara's hospitalization comes just days after she enjoyed a date night with her rumored boyfriend Douglas Chabbott at the Oasis concert in Pasadena, California. The couple has been sparking romance rumors since 2023.
