In this episode of Namaste B$tc**s, Teresa talked about the time in 2017 when she met Sofia for the first time and recalled how she found her to be "the rudest woman." Teresa elaborated:
"Sofia Vergara's PR person and my PR person spoke together, and I guess the two of them said, 'Let's get a picture of Teresa and Sofia together. I didn't want a picture with her. I've never asked to take a picture with anybody. When we went to go take a picture she was like, standing in front of me, like ok, that's not how you take a picture.”
She continued by saying:
“She was the rudest woman I've ever met. I saw her whole demeanor, and then I heard her say to her PR person, 'Why are you making me take a picture with that lady? I was like, 'Excuse me? I did not want to take a picture with you! I never asked to take a picture with you.'"
Fans have been sharing their reactions on social media since this Namaste B$tc**s podcast episode aired. There are some who even dismissed Teresa's comments as "trash" and expressed their love for Sofia.
