Our director, Amy Kern, has been interviewed by the Today Show, the New York Post, and the BBC regarding the controversial Sofia Vergara frozen embryo lawsuit.
Vergara is being sued by a Louisiana pro-life group representing the frozen fertilized eggs, which are stored in an Los Angeles facility. The pre-embryos have been the center of a long legal battle, resulting in this week’s lawsuit.
The bizarre lawsuit demands that Loeb, whom Vergara split from in 2014 amid abuse allegations, be given sold custody of the pre-embryos, which he’s named “Emma” and “Isabella.” The suit says a trust was created for the embryos in Louisiana, which has laws that allows an embryo to sue a person.
Fred Silberberg, a lawyer for Vergara, 44, who’s married to actor Joe Manganiello, released a statement denouncing Loeb’s “latest maneuver,” which, he said, “is nothing more than another attempt on the part of Loeb to keep himself in the public eye by keeping himself linked to Ms. Vergara.”
The case began in 2015 when Loeb filed a lawsuit to prevent Vergara from destroying the embryos.
Vergara’s lawyer pointed out that a judge was ready to rule on Vergara’s request for sanctions against Loeb for refusing to comply with a court order, and on her motion for dismissal of the case he filed against her, which sought control of the pre-embryos.
