“Modern Family” star, Sofia Vergara is sued by two frozen embryos she conceived with her former partner Nick Loeb. The embryos named Emma and Isabella are listed in Louisiana court documents. Sofia Vergara and Nick split in 2014 and he unsuccessfully tried to sue for the embryos’ custody.
According to BBC, the embryos are deprived of their inheritance from a trust by not being born. They created them in Louisiana but they are now located in California. The suit is asking the embryos to be transferred to Mr. Loeb so they can be born and receive their inheritance. The former couple created them in 2013 and signed a contract that neither partner could do anything with them without other’s consent. According to the suit, Sofia Vergara is refusing to allow them to be implanted in a surrogate mother. Mr. Loeb said they can’t keep four frozen lives forever, they will go to hell on which Sofia responded they will go to hell regardless. In Ohio, Republican lawmaker has approved a bill which would ban abortions once a heartbeat has been detected in an embryo. This still needs to be signed by Governor John Kasich and this will mean there will be no more abortions six weeks after conception.
According to Reuters, the attorney Fred Silberberg said this is nothing less than an attempt on the part of Mr. Loeb to keep himself in the public eye. The Louisiana lawsuit came a week before a California judge was expected to dismiss Loeb’s bid to get custody. There was a written document that requires both parties to attempt to create a pregnancy.
According to US Magazine, Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb created the two female embryos named Emma and Isabella when they were together through IVF. They are still frozen at a fertility clinic in L.A. This is not the first time Loeb sued Sofia. In April 2015 he sued her in California. When Mr. Loeb saw he will lose decided to attempt to save face by taking their proverbial ball and go home. Loeb said he created them to take them to term, not destruction, he also said his biggest dream is to become a father.
