"The editor of this magazine is an idiot," Vergara captioned a photo of a Star cover declaring, "Sofia & Joe: It's over! Sofia caught cheating in Rome. Her wedding ring is off."

"If he is going to have my ring removed to created a 'fake' 'news' he should have made sure that he removed from social media all the other pictures of that award night in Rome where Im wearing it," she said, saying the tabloid edited her engagement ring out of the photo.

"By the way...thats my friend the producer of the movie Bent that I was shooting in Rome and who came to spend Easter at my home the week later," the star added of the man she was seen with.

The Star report surfaced after Vergara was photographed with Bent producer Andrea Iervolino at the AMBI Gala in April. Manganiello also laughed off the cheating rumors in a post on his Instagram account.

"Big surprise everyone but Star created a fake story and then photo shopped my wife's engagement ring off of her finger in order to sell magazines," the actor wrote. "They are run by malicious trash. Do the world a favor and don't buy their garbage."

Vergara and Manganiello married in November 2015 after more than a year of dating. The actor said in the April issue of Ocean Drive that life in the spotlight has only brought him closer to the Modern Family star.

"All that pressure has just brought us closer together," he said. "At the end of the day, it's really nobody else's business but ours. It's just that I love her and she loves me and here we are. And there is a price for that, when living in the public eye."
