Sofia Vergara Slammed For Using 'Bizzare' Filters & 'Seeking Validation' In First Post-divorce Post

Single Sofia Vergara is not a hit with fans! The Colombian beauty's first post following the announcement of her separation from Joe Manganiello did not have its usual mesmerizing effect on her followers.

The voluptuous goddess and her former beau need no introduction, given the increased attention they have received since ending their 7-year marriage. The drama began with the "Chasing Papi" actress's Italian getaway without her husband.

Although the entertainer commemorated her 51st birthday with the trip, she remained overseas during the dissolution of her marriage. However, while living it up in Ravello, the People's Choice Award winner's admirers noticed something odd about her online appearance.

In her latest Instagram update, the "Madea Goes to Jail" actress shared three slides of herself soaking up the sun in Italy. The first snap captured the TV personality on a yacht with the picturesque blue sea and rocky islands framing the background.

In the snap, the wind added a touch of drama to the Barranquilla native's post by brushing her honey-blonde tresses across her face. Vergara boasted boldly glammed-up features with dark eyebrows and sexy red lips.

The 51-year-old posed with a product from her Toty sunscreen brand, the Solaria Mineral SPF 50+. She held the same antioxidant sunscreen serum in her second selfie, this time giving viewers a closer inspection of the water vessel.

The day's theme seemed to be mint green as a female's toned legs could be seen lounging in the background in a swimsuit. The "Modern Family" star also donned the same color for her spaghetti-strap outfit.

In the final slide, the mother of one shared a video of herself applying her brand's Ilumina CC Creamy Compact SPF 50+ product on her face using the Ilumina brush. This video appeared poorly made as the filter flickered on and off, giving the entertainer a peculiar appearance.

The promotional content was captioned in Spanish, translating to: "On vacation like everyone else, I get a bit of a hand with food, drinks, shopping. But with the sun on the face, I don't play! @toty."

It seemed the "America's Got Talent" judge was realigning her focus on her career following her separation from Manganiello. However, the post did not sit well with fans, as the weird filter and her makeup turned many off.

"Sofia, calm down with the editing. Pls, u have the latinas reputation to defend," someone wailed while another begged: "Sofia, please don't paint your eyebrows so dark for God's sake!!"

More complaints followed, with a third wondering why the person behind the camera had not chosen a better digital enhancer. "Who put that bizarre filter on you in the third slide?" the fan asked.

"The filter hella moving," a social media user teased, and someone else declared the digital feature the "worst filter ever." The bashing did not end there, as a few followers harshly criticized the 51-year-old's post.

Addressing her single status, one follower penned: "It's sad to see newly independent women seeking public validation. I like her otherwise. Really. Hope she finds love again soon."

Another fan quipped: "It doesn't even look like her," while a third claimed Vergara had cosmetic procedures, writing: "Pahh, it's beautiful; too bad the botox fucks her."

Before getting slammed by fans for her filter fail, sources implied the Colombian beauty's wild lifestyle had contributed to her separation from Manganiello. The insider claimed the mother of one frequent alcohol indulgence was not the type of life her former beau wanted.

The "Rampage" actor previously struggled with alcohol addiction, a dark period that helped him embrace sobriety in his 20s. Although his ex-wife did not battle the same demons, it was difficult for the Pittsburgh native to watch her liquor whims.

Sofia Vergara did not appear to take her former beau's discomfort to mind as she frequently held "cocktail nights." To avoid the allegedly triggering situation, Manganiello would sleep over at his friends' homes, crashing on their couches.

Eventually, the Colombian's drinking became problematic as the 46-year-old "found it challenging to be surrounded by potential temptation." Additionally, the couple's divorce was influenced by a “tricky past couple of years” that “saw them start to drift apart during the COVID pandemic.”
