Sofia is being sued by Reside Custom Homes, who allege she failed to pay a massive bill for construction done on her home. They claim she owes them over $1,700,492.64.
Details of the lawsuit
In a statement, Stephen E. Foster, an attorney for RCH, told DailyMail.com: ‘Reside Custom Homes was forced to sue Ms. Vergara for money that she has owed to RCH since March 2023 and that she promised RCH she would pay.
‘For some seven months, despite repeated appeals by RCH for payment, Ms. Vergara never formally complained about the quality of RCH’s work nor disputed any specific charge. Aware that RCH only had until November to file suit, in October Ms. Vergara had her long-time entertainment attorney write to RCH seeking to bully RCH into walking away from the money it and its hard-working subcontractors are owed.
‘RCH is not, and will not be, deterred by baseless threats, and emphatically rejects Ms. Vergara’s conjured-up, belated and convenient accusations. Unlike Ms. Vergara and her counsel, RCH will not litigate its claims against Ms. Vergara in letters, emails, or the media. Instead, RCH looks forward to having its dispute adjudicated by an impartial tribunal applying the law to the true facts, and RCH is confident it will prevail on the merits.’
Speaking with TMZ, Marty claimed his client was actually the first one to send a demand letter. He says the letter was submitted on October 4.
Word from Sofia Vergara
An attorney for Sofia Vergara has hit back after a former contractor for the star claimed she failed to pay a massive bill for work done on her Los Angeles mansion.
In a statement obtained by DailyMail.com, Marty Singer, Vergara’s lawyer, said: ‘My client made claims against the contractor, Reside, several months before this specious lawsuit was filed.
‘Sofia Vergara’s claims were for significant overcharging by Reside, substandard and negligent work, and long delays seeking damages in excess of $5 million.
‘We are confident that my client will prevail in this dispute.’
