Kelly recounted an alleged incident involving Sofia’s resistance to using bobby pins to secure a wig for a scene.

“In the episode, she was wearing a wig and they kept wanting to put hairpins on it, and she told them no hairpins,” he explained.

Tension increased when Kelly, who was supposed to place a crown on Sofia’s head during a scene, allegedly inadvertently upset the actress.

‘They scream action, and I’m supposed to put the crown in her hair. So I put on the crown and then they told me to cut it and she said, ‘Be careful with the wig!’ You’re putting the crown on my head!

Kelly recalled, adding that she jokingly responded, “Well, girl, you should have worn those bobby pins.”

Kelly acknowledged that the day could have been a bad day for the famous actress.

‘Maybe it was a bad day. I’m just going to say it was a bad day. Because she is hilarious, beautiful, talented and beautiful. I’m sure it was a bad day.

Sofia, who starred on Modern Family from 2009 to 2020, has not commented on the claims.

This comes as the actress, who is reportedly dating Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton, 40, was spotted sharing a cozy lunch with him in New York this week.

The couple were grinning from ear to ear as they said goodbye before the Colombian-American star headed to a car.

They were seen having dinner with friends at Breakfast by Salt Cure in the West Village.

Sofia and Lewis were sitting next to each other at a restaurant table where they were joined by friends.

Observers claimed that Sofia barely ate any of the food in front of her, as she was so engrossed in the conversation at the table.

Over the years, Sofia has had affairs with several younger men, including her second husband, Joe Manganiello, 48, and her ex-fiancé Nick Loeb, 49.

Meanwhile, Lewis was in an on-again, off-again relationship with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 until their final split in 2015.

In the decade since, he was linked to supermodels Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner, and found himself denying romance rumors with Rihanna.
