Sofia Vergara took to Twitter following a compilation video going viral of her many appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where host Ellen DeGeneres makes fun of her accent.

The compilation can be viewed below, and it's captioned, "Ellen is so racist."

Vergara tweeted in response to the video's backlash, "Two comedians having fun with each other to entertain. I was never a victim guys, I was always in on the joke." Along with her tweet was a video of another appearance she made on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where she talks about filming a CoverGirl ad with the host.

Ellen says in the clip, "They give her the hardest lines too because we have to describe what's in the CoverGirl makeup and she has such a hard time pronouncing any of the ingredients.

Sophia responds with, "I think because you are much more famous than me and older than me so they give you priority and you read the script first and then you're the one that makes me say those words because there's no way. They make her look pretty and make me say the important information."
