Sofia Vergara Rape Joke Prompts Laughter On “The View”
The ladies of The View could use a lesson in sensitivity….and perhaps an educational field trip to their local Rape Crisis Center. Sofia Vergara — who plays Ed O’Neill’s Colombian trophy wife on ABC’s new hit show Modern Family — was on The View this morning, where she cracked a tacky joke about rape to the robust cackles of Babs and the Gang.
Sofia — who’s a deadringer for a 25-year-old — has an 18-year-old son. How is that possible? She was raped when she was thirteen. Just kidding! Get’cha! Yeah — we didn’t find it funny, either. But the girls thought it was a riot.
This isn’t the first time the chattiest women in daytime have revealed their utter inability to “get” the seriousness of rape. We all remember Whoopi’s famous defense of Roman Polanski’s drugging and stautory rape of a 13-year-old girl; apparently, it wasn’t “rape rape.”

To me it seems like they live in this type of format on the show because “their view” is scripted or guided for them and they react off of the fluff moments to get a rise and are expected to unbutton the bitch bags when they are suppose to be concerned and angry but when something serious slips into the timing that they feed off of as a multiheaded beast then they slide over it. It’s because they really don’t know the first thing about listening as a unit. Do I really have to say that this is a television production of gals gabbin?
The clip ends with Woopie gagging, as if implemented upon her and not as show.
