Actress
Sofia
Vergara
has
hit
back
at
criticism
following
her
"sexist" skit
at
the
Emmy
Awards,
saying
she
was
merely
poking
fun
at
herself.
The
"Modern
Family" star
was
slammed
for
posing
on
a
rotating
platform
while
the
Academy
of
Television
Arts
&
Sciences
president
Bruce
Rosenblum
gave
his
annual
speech
at
the
ceremony
at
Nokia
Theatre
Monday
night.
"I
think
it's
absolutely
the
opposite.
It
means
that
somebody
can
be
hot
and
also
be
funny
and
make
fun
of
herself,"
contactmusic.com
quoted
her
as
saying.
Sofia
slammed
the
"sexist"
claims
as
"ridiculous"
and
pointed
out
she
was
aware
who
started
the
barrage
of
abuse,
but
did
not
name
names.
"I
think
it's
ridiculous
that
somebody
started
this
-
I
know
who
she
was
-
who
has
no
sense
of
humour
(and
should)
lighten
up
a
little
bit,"
she
said.
She
wore
a
strapless
white
gown
while
she
was
posing
on
the
rotating
platform.
