Nick Loeb refuses to comment on his allegations that Sofia Vergara abused him

wenn22425217

As I briefly discussed in a post yesterday, Sofia Vergara and Nick Loeb did dueling morning show interviews on Thursday. Sofia spoke to Good Morning America, and she hit back harder on Loeb’s lawsuit seeking custody of the frozen embryos they created together. Sofia’s reaction was basically that Nick is a thirsty, attention-seeking jackass and he’s trying to ruin her or punish her for not wanting to have babies with him. Well, I got a chance to watch Loeb’s Today Show interview, and I just have to say… there’s something wrong with this man. I found his whole argument to be profoundly disturbing.

The major headline out of the interview is likely that Loeb doesn’t confirm or deny his previous allegations (in the lawsuit he filed against Sofia) that Sofia had “abused” him physically. I sort of forgot that he was claiming that too, but Hoda Kotb read out that part of the lawsuit, where Loeb tells the court that Sofia “physically abused him on four separate occasions, she punched him in the face on two occasions, kicked him and threw her phone at his head. She also routinely bullied him, called him a loser, worthless and other degrading names.” Loeb also claims in the lawsuit that when it came to the embryo/IVF contracts, Loeb only “signed this portion of the form directive, even though he did not agree with it, in order to avoid further abuse.” Seriously, that’s his argument. He signed a legal embryo contract with his abusive fiancée so that she would stop abusing him. I’m not saying that kind of thing would never happen, I’m just saying that it really did not happen in this case. Around the 5:45 mark is where Hoda asks about the abuse.

He deflects those questions like a pro. I wonder why he didn’t bring up those abuse claims in his NYT op-ed? As for the rest of it… well, watch the whole thing if you want to come away from it profoundly disturbed by the argument he’s making, that he should be given custody of those two embryos regardless of all of the legal protections Sofia was contractually given. Note the way he coolly denies leaking the information about the lawsuit to the tabloids. It just feels like he will do anything to be part of Sofia’s life, even if it means publicly harassing her, lying about her on national television and pandering to the biggest anti-choice wingnuts out there.

Oh, and wouldn’t you know, Loeb also stopped by CNN for an interview too. So thirsty. So creepy.

    Who is this guy that he has garnered all of this attention?

    • Snazzy says:

      Yes that’s what I keep wondering!

    • Kitten says:

      I don’t know but I get smacked with a strong wave of nausea every time I see his douchetastic smug face.

    • Lori says:

      Polictical run coming soon no doubt.

    • Bridget says:

      @kiddo: He doesn’t do much himself, but he comes from family money and connections. It’s how he was able to get that stupid op-ed in the NYT. He’s also clearly angling for a political run (it wouldn’t be the first time) but he’s a shady dude. This is the guy who a few years ago supposedly (and I only say supposedly to be polite) was caught having cocaine fueled parties with hookers.

      • Kiddo says:

        Thanks Bridget. The NYT should be ashamed for allowing him space in the paper. But, then again, they never TRULY owned the Judith Miller fiasco, and numerous other things. I feel like they have tanked in a lot of ways.

        The ombudsman should write an apology to Sofia for allowing this man to harass and defame her via their media.

      • Bridget says:

        The NYT is definitely not an infallible news source, but this was pretty bad. The inclusion of his op-ed really felt like someone called in a favor. And this whole lawsuit is just so gross, I sincerely don’t understand why media outlets keep giving this guy a platform when it’s just such a blatant grab for attention.

      • The Other Katherine says:

        The NYT used to be a great, well-edited paper. Unfortunately, that stopped being the case over a decade ago. Running this creep’s op-ed is just a tiny part of the long slide onto the slag-heap.

    • Boopybette says:

      He’s a resentful loser stalker that apparently a lot of guys on news shows relate to hence them booking him. He’s creepy scary..and I wonder if all these media outlets will feel horrible when/if he snaps and tries to harm Sofia and her family.

    • MoxyLady007 says:

      He looks just like the squinty guy from 3rd Rock from the Sun.

    • wellwell says:

      He’s part of a disgustingly rich family. And he’s the disgusting part.

  2. Chibichchai says:

    Could she sue him for stalking? He sounds more and more like a stalker. He is scary.

    • nk868 says:

      for real! this is horrifying and belies belief, it seems like something out of a crazy movie – creepy emotionally abusive ex refuses to move on and decides to use the media to punish her for moving on with a younger and more attractive man and being happy by making her look anti pro-life and wanting to have a creepy hold on her for the rest of her life bringing children into the world

      him saying he doesnt want any financial support for the babies is such a load. sure, he wont ask for it through the court, but does anyone believe for a second he wouldnt bring these babies into the world and then criticize her all OVER the place for not being involved/supporting them/being a co-parent???

      • Pinky says:

        Paging Lifetime Original Movies!
        Seriously, Sophia could earn another producing credit real fast….

  3. aims says:

    This is so bizarre to me. He’s grasping at straws.

  4. Abba says:

    Ugh he is SO slimy.

  5. OhDear says:

    Why are all these media outlets giving him a platform? Dude is thirsty and manipulative as well.

    • Kiddo says:

      That’s what I don’t get. Who is he? What does he do for a living and so on?

    • Tiffany27 says:

      THANK YOU! Why does this fu*knut have any kind of platform????

      • Dolce crema says:

        Even if he didn’t have any money, job, orfamily connections, embryo rights law is a current topic that people are curious about.
        Plus he is her ex. If papers will interview anyone who’s hooked up with Ashton kutcher, why not this guy? Sophia is pretty popular.

    • Grace says:

      Exactly my thought too. This dude is super creepy

    • Misti64 says:

      Yup. He’s revelling in this.

    • Mixtape says:

      Agreed! And not just crazy media outlets, but supposedly legit ones like the NYT, Today and CNN…

      • Hannah says:

        Lol @ CNN being a legit news outlet…

      • Robin says:

        LOL at ANY of those three being considered legit (or supposedly legit) media outlets! Today never has been, and the NYT and CNN jumped the shark years ago.

  6. Vampi says:

    He is a sick, sick man….and/or crazy. Poor Sofia.

  7. Des says:

    So why does he want to have babies with his abuser? He WANTS to maintain a link with a woman who assaulted and demeaned him? He wants his kids to have that for a nominal mother?

    Also, am I imagining things or about a year before he and Sofia broke up, weren’t there allegations of his cheating with hookers and doing cocaine? Did he find Jesus so we could all turn a blind eye to that kind of behavior?

    • bella says:

      yes – i agree with all of this.
      why does he want to maintain a connection with his abuser?
      the man is a psycho, sicko, stalker.

    • lucy2 says:

      Exactly – if she was so horrible, why is he so desperate to stay connected to her?

      Don’t forget he also lied at the beginning of all this and said she was going to have the embryos destroyed, and all he wanted to do was prevent that. When she denied that and had proof, his story changed that now he wants them to have children. He’s a lying liar who lies.

  8. Lama Bean says:

    MAKE THIS MAN STOP

  9. Kikigee says:

    What’s his endgame here? If Sofia capitulated, what? He’d pay a surrogate/find a partner to impregnate with Sofia’s children? He’d raise two kids on his own? Or is he so cruel he’d plan to torture her emotionally with the thought that she has two children out there in the world she can’t have access to?
    He says he would not seek any financial support, but after what happened with Jason Patric, who’s to say in the future the courts wouldn’t order her to pay?
    This is beyond messy and nasty.

    • Venus says:

      His endgame is just to harass her and attempt to make her pay for getting engaged to someone else. He’s awful.

    • Meatball says:

      He claims that he would raise the children himself, ask nothing from Sofia and would leave the door open for her to be involved later if she wanted. He is manipulative and scheming. I doubt she would ignore those girls if they were to be born. I highly suspect he would play a lot of head games and basically hold her hostage in order for her to be involved. I cannot see him as a parent and who knows what kinds of horrible things he would them those girls about their mother. It’s a very scary situation and I hope that the court lets that contract stick.

      He makes me very uncomfortable every time I see his picture.

      • Lady D says:

        Someone mentioned here yesterday that he offered to let J&S raise the girls, as long as he was in their life. He just can’t let go.

    • MET says:

      He is nasty and should not be given the time of day. He still has working sperm, right? If so, go out there and spread it to someone who’s interested!

  10. jen2 says:

    All of this ugliness over embryos means if they actually had to deal with children and a divorce, this would be like a nuclear war. They should never have children together and he should never have children..period. He is clearly not a well man.

  11. nk868 says:

    omg. OMG. lol you guys. looked him up on wiki to figure out who he is. someone slipped this into his personal life section (look at the last sentence) and i *hope* he never notices or has it changed:

    Loeb was married to Swedish model Anna Pettersson but they later divorced. Loeb was engaged to Modern Family star Sofía Vergara. On May 23, 2014, the engagement was called off due to his chronic impotence.

    • Pinky says:

      Just took a screen shot for posterity!

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Can you IMAGINE what she could say about him? What did she see in him?

      I wonder if the impotence thing is partly driving this – like, see? I made a baby! I am too a big virile manly man (like Sofia’s new guy whatshisname).

    • Ennie says:

      I’s been already corrected, haha, “remove vandalism” , it says in the editing history

    • lucy2 says:

      LOL! I love that someone did that. I hope people keep changing stuff on his page.

    • mia girl says:

      Ha! Just checked and found another one that someone snuck in:

      “In 2011, Loeb decided against running for the United States Senate due to health issues stemming from severe injuries incurred in a car accident in 2010 and because he is a complete ahole”

  12. Hautie says:

    He is a Stalker. Plain and simple. Lets just go ahead and say it. Nick Loeb is a stalker. And the media is allowing him to terrorize Sofia. I can not believe that the legit media is giving this stalker a platform.

    What do angry controlling men do, when you dump their ass. With good cause. They stalk you. They sh*t talk you, to everyone you have in common. And gawd forbid… if they have any naked photo’s of you. Because they are mailing them to your grandparents. And in this case, he would sell them to TMZ.

    If you are good at ignoring your stalker. Not reacting to their sh*t. They tend to try to kill you. And I am not being flippant. When that court case gets tossed. And he loses the ability to publicly stalk her… and harass her….. I just hope she realizes that he does not plan to stop. He is never going away. Because stalkers never do.

    • Hyacinth Kirkpatrick says:

      This. I went from being annoyed on her behalf to terrified on her behalf. He’s unstable, and his family background is violent.

      I usually think they’re stupid, but is there a petition or something for media to stop enabling his abusive behavior? If its this upsetting to a bystander, I can’t imagine how Sofia feels.

    • PS says:

      LOL at “What do angry controlling men do, when you dump their ass. With good cause. They stalk you. They sh*t talk you, to everyone you have in common. ” For years I’ve been met with stinkeyes from strangers all around town and I knew why. But I don’t care. They come around. It usually takes people about two years until they realize how sick he is. 🙂 Stay strong, ladies!

    • Ally.M says:

      That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking throughout this harassment Hautie, I seriously worry about Sophia’s safety, this man is unhinged.

    • Justagirl says:

      Exactly. Stalker…with hints of sociopath. I’m not using that lightly. The fact that he won’t go away, feels entitled beyond any normal logic, has a vendetta, and gives confusing/ridiculous reasoning…. and also somehow has the charm to get multiple legitimate news outlets to give him air time.

      It’s frightening. They don’t give up. And it’s surprising how many women have to deal with the same thing – the “great guy” they dated, lived with or were married to is not just a loser, but a manipulative control-freak who still manages to convince others – or con them – that he is not only a great guy, but the wounded party. Evil. What’s worse is some of them keep up the ‘nice’ façade with their Ex – who doesn’t realize he’s trash-talked her all over the place.

    • Bridget says:

      He’s a stalker with money and connections, which is very bad news.

    • lucy2 says:

      I hope she has a restraining order against him, and good security, because you’re right – he’s a psycho and won’t stop.

    • Hannah says:

      Well then doesn’t it show you these media outlets are not legit? They’re all corrupted.

    • mootwo says:

      His mother killed her 3rd husband then killed herself in 1996. Hope he doesn’t take after her.

  13. Beckysuz says:

    He has serial killer eyes…that is all

    • Belle Epoch says:

      I said that a few days ago and got in trouble for “stereotyping mental illness.” That person said his eyes were perfectly fine, just blue. So I’ll call them SCARY EYES!

      • Justagirl says:

        Empty. Not just vacant, but soul-less – cover up his smile and the eyes make you shudder.

  14. embertine says:

    Ugh, I always want to give potential abuse victims the benefit of the doubt (because so often they are not listened to) but this dude is really pushing my ability to maintain that stance. And as Des says, if she was abusive towards him, why is he so desperate to have children with her?

  15. meme says:

    This man is insane. What did Sofia ever see in him?

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Ha! Just posted the same thing. I would have thrown my phone at his head too. I bet she missed on purpose – she looks like a good shot.

  16. Deanne says:

    He’s harrassing her at a level that is stalkerish, all while seeking as much attention as he can possibly get. They broke up two years ago. Why is he now trying to get access to the embryos? They signed a contract that is very clear. He’s seems disturbed. The fact that the media is giving this scumbag so much coverage makes them as guilty as he is in this harrassment campaign. It’s sick.

  17. ToodySezHey says:

    Another blind item confirmed.

    Sophia, you in danger girl!

    And considering that violence and mental illness is strong in his family, she needs to make sure her security and security for her child is tight. And get that restraining order.

    This dude is batsh!T . So not only does he want another woman to bear the children of a woman who doesn’t want them he also wants to have children by a woman who allegedly abused him?!?!?!

    Who does that?!?!?

  18. Dama79 says:

    I was wondering too if she can take any legal steps to protect herself. He is defiantly doing all this to get her attention. It’s like if I can’t have you the way I want you, I’ll get you another way. What happens when he looses this lawsuit and I’m betting he will. I’m sure Sophia had her attorney’s look over the contract before she signed it. I would worry about him hurting me physically or my son if I was her.

    • Mare says:

      Unfortunately, unless he directly threatens her, it’s hard to get a restraining order.
      It’s just a piece of paper anyway. She needs security and this nut job needs to crawl back into the rock he crawled out of.

  19. ToodySezHey says:

    On a side note. ..with his striking blue eyes does anybody else think he looks like a live action douchier version of Archer?

    Hell this whole situation is like..an insane reversed version of Archer season 5 and 6.

  20. TheVoice says:

    I wonder if Sophia and Sarah Hyland bonded over their poor choices of abusive and stalker ex-boyfriends. Sounds like they’re better off now but makes you wonder why they couldn’t see what these men were really like. So scary! Stop giving this man any platform. He needs to go away.

  21. JenniferJustice says:

    Ugh. He gives me the skeeves! Can’t imagine what she ever saw in this creep. He LOOKS like a creep. Even if I didn’t know what we know, I’d still think the first time I laid eyes on him that he looks deranged. #shutters#

  22. PrincessMe says:

    So much of what I would have said has been said already (there’s something seriously wrong with him), but what no-one has addressed so far (as far as I can see, anyway) is why he keeps referring to them as “female embryos”. It’s really creepy. Why is he focusing so much on the “female” part? Does it matter that they’re “female” embryos?

    • Kikigee says:

      I suspect he’s referring to them as female to humanise them – to get people onside with his argument – rather than just think of them as life-in-waiting.
      Such manipulation, a grown man who hasn’t matured past the playground. Sadly, though, a man with considerable financial means and connections.

      • PrincessMe says:

        I thought of that, but the way he’s acting makes it sound even worse to me. Like he’s got his own little Sofias to do with as he pleases. Creepy.

  23. roxy750 says:

    hes a manipulative psychotic piece of Sh*t that scares the sh*t out of me. His quiet voice is so creepy. What a freak.

  24. Ali says:

    He’s lying. He’s obviously an abusive, pschyo stalking creep trying to humiliate, harass and bully his ex through the media. That’s obvious. We have evidence of his abusive behaviour against her, we’re watching in horror and only his lying word about her being abusive. Why would he want babies with an ‘abusive’ ex? He doesn’t. He is just looking for any excuse to disturb, harass, abuse, upset and remain in her life. Pschyo abuser.

    He hates that she’s moved on from him, massively upgraded and is very happy. He’ll use anything to destroy that, whether it’s embryos or lies.

    The media needs to stop indulging his bullying and the narrative needs to become about stalking, abusive exes like Loeb and what can we do to make them understand they’re wrong, deter further bad behaviour and protect their victims.

  25. INeedANap says:

    I wonder where all the MRA/”men’s rights” types are now. Here, fools, here is someone who is lying about being abused, the very thing y’all accuse women of doing — except now, it’s a man lying about a woman. Where’s your outrage now?

    And all the media outlets who are enabling this abuser are complicit.

  26. Talia says:

    If he were a hobbit his name would be “Douchebaggins”.

  27. LAK says:

    Poor Sofia.

  28. Loulou says:

    He’d make a great gay guy.

  29. chloeee says:

    Jesus, Sofia ran when she found out she was dating Patrick Bateman.

  30. Jayna says:

    I didn’t get the inflammatory beating him up language in the lawsuit, as it would have nothing to do with the particulars of the lawsuit, and would only be in there to turn people against her, not that I believed it. But now I see he needed that in there to give as a reason for signing the contract, a victim of abuse, afraid of his abuser. It is not even believable. This will get thrown out, and it is all about hurting her, this publicity tour he’s doing trying to disparage her.

    This guy is whacked.

  31. buzz says:

    this tall, huge, uber-wealthy, well-connected man was coerced by a tiny woman? yea right. he is just horrid. simply horrid.

    I hope she has something on him and I hope she releases it.

    • a.d. says:

      agreed.
      i’d be willing to bet she has some real dirt on his a** but is simply too classy to take that route…
      however, i almost hope he forces her hand & she drops the bomb (WITH accompanying evidence).. they’ll be a sh**storm media frenzy. he’ll drudge up all he can think of to make her the bad guy again (but to no avail), then the noise will settle…sofia & joe will be happily married & successful & everyone will revert back to “nick who?”
      …& he will be the loser always.
      MWAHAHA.
      …the only thing that would make that better is if sofia & joe wind up pregnant.
      MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  32. a.d. says:

    he has $, it’s not about $.. i don’t even think it’s about media attention.
    it’s about CONTROL with this guy. he’s a piss poor loser who’s frustrated he lost her & that she has moved on so quickly (& upgraded tremendously, i might add) that he is quite literally hanging onto the final thread that joins them in some way. he is straight-up harrassing her.
    & he’s running out of options.. i fear for her for whatever tactic he attempts next when this embryo suit falls through….

  33. serena says:

    Enough of this douche! Sofia should just ignore him now, shut him down totally, by not talking about him and the matter anymore.

  34. Jaded says:

    Nobody ever heard of this asshat until he starting dating Sofia. He knows his relevance is fading fast now that they aren’t together, he resents her for her success and that without her, he’s basically nothing. It’s common knowledge that he was abusive to her, and that his little cocaine and hookers habit is public knowledge. So he’s doing everything possible to weasel his way back into the limelight from writing a tell-all op-ed piece in a trashy publication to accusing her of abuse, solely to tarnish her reputation.

    He’s tilting at windmills however, and I think even the far right and Fox News devotees will find it hard to align themselves with whatever political shot he thinks he has without tarnishing themselves.

  35. Cyndi says:

    Good Lord that man is u.g.l.y.!! And, he looks like he has a toupee or some type of hair piece.

  36. none says:

    I bet that she is a wretched narcissistic monster.

    Her routine is a tiresome combo between old Salma Hayek and Eva Longoria when she was on Housewives. Her accent is as exaggerated as her ego.

    From a chick like that, I could believe that she was abusive to him.

    In an interview, all she could say is that “I am the hollywood starrrrr, he is not!”
    LOOK AT MEEEEEE mee meeee!!!! LOL
    lame.
