Rumors of conflicts on film sets surprise no one anymore. They are a common feature of many productions, and some of them are never confirmed. They turn out to be fake stories, such as the one about the conflict between Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara on the set of Modern Family.

The first of the actresses dismissed reports that something bad was going on between them, claiming that it was the media that constantly pitted them against each other. Bowen asserted that she is friends with Vergara, who can count on her support.

Bowen addressed reports of an alleged conflict during the I Choose Me podcast. The actress made things clear, explaining that she is friends with Vergara, whom she admires and thanks to whom she has learned a lot. In doing so, she dismissed rumors that she envies anything about her set mate, whom she cheers for.

They were just determined to pit us against each other, like we hated each other. It's this scarcity mindset that there's only one woman who can be happy at a time.

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. So I email her last night and then we talk and I'm like, 'What should I say?' because we're friends 'Just borrow my blouse!' [Vergara said].

I love Sofía, and I love how different we are, and I love that she is funny and self-effacing and bawdy, and she loves life and she loves dancing and eating cake, and all of these things.

I learned so much from being around her about what it is to be a really powerful, completely in herself woman. No one would mistake her for like a fourteen-year-old boy from behind like they do me all the time.

Reports of conflicts on set are always worth approaching with some caution. Vergara and Bowen, according to the latter's assurances, despite frequent reports of a dispute, are not at odds with each other and are in contact with each other despite the fact that Modern Family ended four years ago. The hit series starring both actresses remains to this day one of the best-loved sitcoms that viewers love to return to.
