Sofa Vergara is reflecting on a turbulent year and looking forward to 2024.

The Modern Family alum confirmed in July that she and fellow actor Joe Manganiello were divorcing after seven years together . After her fellow Americas Got Talent judge Howie Mandel joked about the split on air in September, Vergara famously walked off stage .

The Colombian actor is now sharing just how difficult these past few months have been.

Ive had a very interesting year, Vergara told People in an exclusive interview Thursday . I dont want to say bad or anything like that, but its been very interesting and very difficult.

I went through a divorce this year, the SAG strike that went on for so long, Vergara continued.

The Screen Actors Guild and Writers Guild of America joined forces earlier this year to demand increased payments for actors in successful streaming shows, as well as for protections around the use of artificial intelligence and digital likenesses on screen.

The monumental effort began in July and concluded in October after 118 days .

Ive seen my friends struggle some had to take their kids out of their schools or had problems with their mortgages, so its been a weird, weird year, Vergara told People, in reference to the hundreds of thousands in Hollywood who were left without work.

The strike came at a particularly difficult time for Vergara, who announced her divorce the same month it began. Her joint statement with Manganiello followed suspicions about their separation, as Vergara posted from her 51st birthday vacation in Italy without him.
