Jesse Tyler Ferguson recalls facing the ‘loudest' criticism from gay viewers while he was on ‘Modern Family'
Jesse Tyler Ferguson is opening up about some criticism he received while playing a gay character on 'Modern Family' that hit particularly close to home. Ferguson shared that some of his 'loudest' critics came from the gay community itself, which is a pressure that he said he tends to feel frequently during Monday's episode of his podcast 'Dinner's on Me' with his guest, British actor Russell Tovey. 'One of the pressures I've always felt, specifically after being on a show like 'Modern Family,' where I'm portraying a gay man on a television show on (a) network that is as popular as it is, is that you receive criticism, as you do with anything you do,' he said, adding that 'the criticism that I think I heard at the loudest was always from the gay community.' Ferguson said he'd get criticism from some 'feeling as if maybe I didn't represent their idea of what a gay relationship was or a gay man was, which I always took with such a grain of salt because I'm representing one person, I'm in charge of this one character.' 'How can you be everything for everyone?' he asked. His played Mitchell Pritchett on the popular ABC sitcom, a gay lawyer married to Eric Stonestreet's Cameron Tucker. While he was portraying this one specific character, Ferguson said that Pritchett was, at the same time, 'a shade of who I was, so… if it's stereotypical, I'm basically playing myself, so I guess, guilty, guilty as charged.' Ferguson was nominated for five Emmys for his performance in the series, which aired from 2000 to 2009. Off screen, Ferguson is married to real-life lawyer Justin Mikita. The couple share two sons, Beckett and Sullivan, who were born in 2020 and 2022 respectively.

Jaime King Is Engaged to Austin Sosa and Is 'Very Close with His Family' (Exclusive)
Jaime King is engaged to investor Austin Sosa, PEOPLE can exclusively confirm The actress was spotted with a new diamond ring on her left ring finger on Monday, July 7 A source tells PEOPLE King is "very close" with her future husband's familyJaime King is engaged! PEOPLE can exclusively confirm that the actress, 46, is engaged to investor Austin Sosa. A source tells PEOPLE: 'She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year.' On Monday, July 7, the White Chicks actress was spotted with a new diamond ring on her left ring finger as she was leaving Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood, Calif. The model was wearing a white knit sweater, wide-leg denim pants, brown and white leather loafers and a pair of oversized brown sunglasses. King has sparingly posted about her now-fiancé. Sosa, who is private on social media, is an investment banker who graduated from Brigham Young University, according to his LinkedIn profile. One of the actress' few posts that mentions Sosa includes a photo of her and her sons, Leo, 9, and James, 11, and then mentions Sosa in the caption. 'My God, I am the luckiest and most great mother ever. Thank you to Pammy, Chase, Austin, Gwendolyn and Carlos. Family forever 🎀💅🏻💯💗,' she wrote. King shares her two boys with her ex-husband Kyle Newman. The former couple tied the knot in 2007. The Hart of Dixie alum filed for divorce from Newman, 47, in May 2020 after 13 years of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in September 2023. In March 2025, Newman was granted sole physical custody of their sons. In court documents obtained by PEOPLE, a judge ordered that while Newman and King will share legal custody of their sons, Newman was granted tie-breaking authority over legal custody and will have sole physical custody of their kids. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Additionally, in April 2024, King filed an emergency request to change their spousal and child support agreement, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. King alleged that she 'lacks the ability to pay the support' and asked for the court to end the spousal support agreement the couple filed in April 2022. In response to King's filing, Newman responded and filed his own claim, alleging that the actress had 'been out of compliance with the court's child and spousal support orders for well over a year.' Newman also alleged that King refused to 'sign a judgment' based on their divorce settlement and noted that she cannot 'rescind' a court order as she claimed to have done.

NFL Stars React to Vikings, Andrew Van Ginkel Announcement
NFL Stars React to Vikings, Andrew Van Ginkel Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Andrew Van Ginkel flipped the script in his first season with the Minnesota Vikings. The edge rusher arrived from Miami on a two-year deal worth $20 million and delivered a career-best season. Advertisement Van Ginkel wasted no time making his presence felt. He sniffed out a screen pass from New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and snatched the pass out of the air in the Week 1 clash. The 30-year-old went on to return it for a pick-six. The former fifth-round pick charted 79 tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 11.5 sacks, and two pick-sixes, all career highs. His performance earned him his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors. Minnesota Vikings outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel (43)Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images While the Vikings rewarded him with a one-year, $23 million extension, the NFL named Van Ginkel to the "Top 100 Players of 2025" list. The Vikings linebacker's first appearance came in at No. 88 overall. Advertisement Five-time Pro Bowler Terron Armstead featured in the NFL's announcement video and heaped praise on the veteran edge rusher. "He's like one of the most versatile players that we have in this league," Armstead said. "You don't understand how fast he is. He might be a 4'4", 4'5" guy. He's another relentless player. He plays with his hair on fire, and he has a lot of it." "Gink is a special, special player. His football IQ is really what separates him. His ability to read plays before the snap. He looks at formations. That's why he is able to jump screen passes, because he knows it's coming, like literally knows it's coming before the snap." Colts Safety Camryn Bynum shared his thoughts on Van Ginkel's pick-six against the Giants. Advertisement "That shows that he's a smart player to see that this is probably going to be a screen," he said. "And for him to not just rush the passer, he was able to get straight upfield and catch the ball from a few yards away from the quarterback, which is tough to do in itself. So that shows his ball skills." Bynum thinks that the Vikings' LB can impact every phase of the game. "He's able to change a game in every single phase. The way that he's able to just find the ball," he said. The Los Angeles Rams' running back Kyren Williams revealed that the team had to adjust plays to counter Van Ginkel's skill set. Advertisement "When we were thinking about doing like little RPO schemes of, you know, either run the ball or throw the bubble, we had to be aware of him," he said. Fans do not seem pleased with the NFL ranking Van Ginkel at 88. But the NFL star is likely just getting into his groove and might stack up even better seasons in the years to come.
