Sofia Vergara has asked a Louisiana court to prevent her ex-fiance Nick Loeb's lawyer Jalesia McQueen from practising in the state.
The Modern Family star has been locked in a nasty court fight with Loeb ever since they split in 2014, as she refused to grant him permission to have two embryos they had frozen while they were together brought to term.
Under the terms of their arrangement, both parties have to give their consent before either of them can take action on the embryos, which are stored in California.
Loeb had his legal efforts shut down twice prior to 2018, before trying his luck with the judicial system in Louisiana, where embryos are considered "biological human beings" under state law. His first case in 2019 was dismissed, but Loeb appealed, before appeals court judges shut down his claim once again.
