Modern Family star Sofía Vergara undergoes second knee surgery, shares update from hospital bed
Colombian-American actor Sofía Vergara is back in recovery mode following her second knee surgery. The Modern Family star shared the health update with her followers via Instagram on Friday, posting two photos — one of herself smiling in a hospital gown, and another showing her leg wrapped in a bulky grey brace with a bandage over her knee. 'It's done! Round 2,' she wrote in the caption, alongside a prayer emoji, red hearts, and the hashtag #knee. Sofia Vergara posted photos after getting a knee surgery on Friday While the 53-year-old actor didn't go into detail about the nature of the procedure or the reason behind the second surgery, this marks her second knee operation in just over a year. Back in April 2024, she revealed on her Instagram Stories that she had undergone a prior surgery on the same knee — and had an orthopedic surgeon boyfriend by her side at the time. 'If u ever get a [major] knee surgery make sure u Get a handsome doctor who will sleep with u that night… ! Luv u,' she wrote then, alongside a photo of Justin Saliman, who was seen smiling at her in medical scrubs. Justin had reportedly supported Sofia both emotionally and professionally during that recovery. The couple split in January after over a year of dating. Shortly after her surgery, Sofia returned to Instagram to share a humorous gift she received from fellow America's Got Talent judge Howie Mandel — what looked like an electric pogo stick, a nod to her ongoing mobility challenges. Sofia has often spoken candidly about her health. In 2022, she marked World Cancer Day by revealing her past battle with thyroid cancer at the age of 28. 'At 28, 'Cancer' was not a word I expected to hear. It was just a routine checkup,' she wrote, adding, 'But the doctors found a lump in my throat, and that word became part of my story.'

'She-Hulk' Amy Muscle, husband found dead: The ROID rage theory in the double tragedy
Image credits: Instagram/amymuscle_ifbbpro Z unilda Hoyos Mendez, popularly known as Amy Muscle was a Colombian bodybuilding athlete who was recently found dead at her luxury residence in Spain's Costa del Sol on Thursday. The 43-year-old champion was found beaten to death with a hammer alongside her 46-year-old husband who had self-inflicted wounds. Her husband Jarrod Gelling's body was found in a bathroom. Zunilda had been missing since Saturday, after flying to the Costa del Sol from Dubai where she had been living for much of the time with her husband, a Colombian-American. While less is known about Gelling, he was reportedly recovering from a knee injury and had accompanied Zunilda on her trip. While an autopsy of Mendez is underway, the police believe that she died from repeated blows to the head. According to the family of the bodybuilder dubbed as 'She Hulk', Amy had been enduring abuse from her husband for the past year and was planning to divorce him. Her niece Yuleydis told a Malaga-based newspaper Sur, that her aunt was going to help Gelling following a knee operation before travelling to Portugal to compete and going back to Colombia alone after the divorce. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo "For my aunt, it was the last trip, a goodbye. She had taken the decision to split from her husband because of his aggressive behaviour. They had broken up already once and were apart for quite a while but then got back together again to try to resolve things, although the mistreatment continued," revealed the niece. According to a statement given by a National Police spokesman in Malaga, Amy's body showed "obvious signs of violence and that of the man's signs indicating a suicide-type death which is something an autopsy will have to confirm." The suspected killer is believed to have Colombian and US nationality. Was Amy Muscle's murder a case of ROID rage ? Image credits: X/@Altosnoticiasp1 While the investigations continue, according to the statements of Amy's family and her niece, it seems the couple who had been married for four years were having some marital troubles. Amy and her husband both were bodybuilders, but she was an acclaimed bodybuilding champion who had several titles under her belt. Additionally, she was also an online fitness influencer with over 100,000 subscribers on various platforms. The Spanish police suspect Gelling who had the same nationality as the suspect to be the one who killed the fitness champion before taking his own life. The entire incident could be defined as a cause of ROID rage. ROID rage is a term that is used to describe anger and aggressive behaviour associated with anabolic steroid use. Steroid use is common in bodybuilders and weightlifters who need to bulk up their mass and while it may effectively help them it also puts them at the risk of negative psychiatric symptoms. The term "roid" in roid rage is an abbreviation of the word steroid and is used to symbolise the rage caused by steroid consumption. The steroids in this case are anabolic-androgenic steroids that help enhance athletic performance and improve lean muscles. A study published in the National Library of Medicine stated that the use of AAS leads to various symptoms such as irritability and unprovoked aggression sometimes referred to as "roid rage" Another study revealed that males who had used AAS at least once in their lives reported greater involvement in violent behaviour. The results of the study also revealed that steroid usage is linked with heightened levels of violent behaviours. Considering the way Amy was murdered with a hammer, her body having signs of abuse, her family reporting her husband's abuse, and the police suspecting her husband to be the killer, the entire incident could be studied with the angle of ROID rage. However, there's no official confirmation on this.
