Joe Manganiello Reveals His Friend Offered to Abduct Sofía Vergara’s Ex Nick Loeb

Joe Manganiello once had to refuse a “generous offer.” 

The True Blood actor revealed in his new memoir Bloodlines that an unnamed friend offered to abduct his ex-wife Sofía Vergara’s ex-boyfriend Nick Loeb after Loeb took legal action against Vergara for custody of the embryos they’d had frozen during their relationship. 

“At one point a very close friend of mine who happens to have top level contacts in the private security world offered me the opportunity, no questions asked, to have this guy snatched off the street, blindfolded, hog-tied, thrown in the back of a van, and driven deep into a wooded area,” Manganiello wrote in the book, “where he would first be warned, then beaten within an inch of his life, and left to fend for himself in the wild.”

According to the 49-year-old, the “protective part of me did not dismiss the offer right away,” but ultimately he decided against it, writing, “After thinking it through, the spiritual part of me won out, fearing karmic retribution either in this life in the form of prison, or something worse in the next.”
