Julie Bowen felt 'terrified' when she joined the cast of 'Modern Family' because she had recently become a mother and felt like 'an outsider' on set.
“They were just determined to pit us against each other, like we hated each other,” Bowen shared on Wednesday’s episode of Jennie Garth ’s “” podcast. “It’s this scarcity mindset that there’s only one woman who can be happy at a time.”
“I felt it on Modern Family,” the 54-year-old recalled. “The press kept trying to make me and Sofia, sort of Betty and Veronica. And I know they did that with you and Shannen. I mean, I remember it.” And rewind to the long-running series in its eighth season, the “feud” rumors between Bowen and Vergara had been at an ultimate high. “Every night I get a call or email that says, ‘So-and-so trash mag will be running a story that you are icy to Sofía Vergara because you are jealous of her fame,'” she explained. “So I email her last night and then we talk and I’m like, ‘What should I say?’ Because we’re friends.
