In what Page Six calls<\/a> “an extraordinary turn” and “a potentially landmark new case,” the frozen embryos of actress Sof\u00eda Vergara, named Emma and Isabella, have joined in a right-to-live lawsuit in Louisiana against her. Vergara had had her eggs frozen with then fianc\u00e9 Nick Loeb in 2013.<\/p>\n

A now-dropped lawsuit was filed in California from Loeb against Vergara after they split in 2014 to protect the embryos, though that has since been dropped. The new lawsuit, which also involves the Emma and Isabella’s trustee, James Charbonnet. Page Six explains that while Loeb resides between Florida and New York, he has ties to Louisiana.<\/p>\n

Not only does Vergara not want the embryos, she has also refused to allow them to be placed into a surrogate and wants them to be frozen indefinitely. The court documents mentioned that, as a Catholic, Vergara would not want the embroys to be destroyed, which means she has broken her oral agreement. It is curious that Vergara’s Catholic faith would come up, as she has already gone against Catholic teaching<\/a>\u00a0by engaging in IVF and ART.<\/p>\n
