Sofía Vergara was forced to skip the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards after a sudden health scare sent her to the hospital.
The Modern Family star, 53, revealed on Instagram that she suffered from a severe Sofía Vergara eye allergy just before leaving for the ceremony on September 14. The actress shared that the reaction developed unexpectedly, leaving her unable to attend television’s biggest night.
Vergara posted a series of photos and videos from the hospital. One image showed her swollen left eye, while another clip captured her rinsing her eye at a hospital sink. She captioned the post, “Didn’t make it to the Emmys but made it to the ER,” confirming the reason behind her absence.
The actress was scheduled to present an award during the event. Her last-minute withdrawal meant producers had to adjust the lineup. Fans quickly flooded her Instagram comments with well wishes, expressing concern and hoping for her quick recovery.
The Emmy Awards, held annually to honor excellence in television, saw many stars walk the red carpet and take the stage. Vergara’s absence, however, was widely noticed and discussed, especially since she had been announced as one of the presenters.
This is not the first time celebrities have missed major events due to health issues, but Vergara’s openness about her condition gave fans a direct update. By sharing details herself, she reassured followers that the emergency was being managed.
As of now, the actress has not provided further updates on her condition. Her posts suggest that while the allergy was serious enough to require emergency care, she is recovering.
Vergara remains one of the most recognized faces in television, best known for her Emmy-nominated role in Modern Family. Her absence from the 2025 Emmys highlighted how unpredictable health emergencies can disrupt even the biggest planned appearances.
