Sofia Vergara stepped out to support her financé, Joe Manganiello at the "Magic Mike XXL" premiere in Hollywood, CA Thursday night.

Instead of enjoying the event, the Latina bombshell was bombarded by pro-life protestors who shamed her for keeping her embryos frozen.

"Sofia, unfreeze your daughters, unfreeze your heart," the protestors chanted right outside of the event. It is unclear whether or not Vergara saw the signs.

The protestors also carried around signs with some of them reading, "Lives created should be lives protected" and "Persons not property."

Vergara's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was also vandalized with the words, "#embryodefense." For the pictures of the protest, visit TMZ.

Vergara and her ex Nick Loeb had two female embryos frozen when they were happily together. However, after the couple broke up, Vergara reportedly no longer wanted the embryos. Loeb, on the other hand, filed a lawsuit against the "Modern Family" actress claiming that he has the right to preserve them and find a surrogate to carry them.

"We signed a form stating that any embryos created through the process could be brought to term only with both parties' consent," Loeb wrote in an essay published in the New York Times. "The form did not specify - as California law requires - what would happen if we separated. I am asking to have it voided. I asked her to let me have the embryos, offering to pay for all expenses to carry our girls to term and raise them. If she did not wish to share custody, I would take on full parenting responsibilities and agree to have her declared an egg donor."

Vergara initially did not speak out about the lawsuit. However, during an interview with Howard Stern in May, she argued, "a child needs a mother and a loving relationship with parents who don't hate each other. I don't hate him but obviously he has a problem. A kid needs parents. I wouldn't want to bring kids to the world where it's already set against them. It would be so selfish."

Vergara and Loeb dated for four years but decided to part ways in May 2014.
