Sadly, the ‘90s and ‘00s were a horrific time for women in the media. Sofía Vergara is one of many celebrities who was repeatedly hypersexualized, and this week, a resurfaced clip of an interview she did with Howard Stern has taken the internet by storm.

The clip, which apparently aired in 2003, began with Howard attempting to tell Sofía that he has a “big penis” in Spanish, which is her mother tongue. Then, when she took off her coat, Howard began making a series of crude remarks about her chest.

“You’ve taken off your coat. You do have a big chest. And I’m gonna tell you something — don’t touch it. I like it,” he told her, to which she smiled and said, “Thank you, thank you.”

“If I tell you your chest is attractive, you keep it,” he continued. Again, Sofía said, “OK. I’ll never touch it.”

Howard later asks Sofía if she breastfed her son Manolo, whom she welcomed when she was 19. She replied, “Yes, of course,” to which he said, “Oh, that must’ve been unbelievable.”

Howard asked, “You must’ve had so much milk, right? How much milk?” Sofía let out a seemingly uncomfortable laugh and said, “Oh my God” before directly calling out Howard’s lack of “respect.”

“No respect here!” she said, to which Howard brazenly replied, “Ah, come on. I’m respecting you all over the place!”

“That kid must’ve been fed from eating all that milk,” he added.

Believe it or not, the interaction then got worse. Howard went on to tell Sofía, “I would love to feed from you…. If you don’t wanna go out with me, then at least let me feed from your chest.”

Sofia jokingly replied, “But I’m not pregnant now.” Howard said, “That can be arranged.”

Reacting to the resurfaced clip, several Reddit users were rightfully disgusted at the interaction. “It just gets worse and worse and worse. One of the many faces of publicly accepted misogyny of the 90s and 00s,” one person wrote, while another said, “Never seen an interview with him where he wasn’t disgusting to any of the women he had on the show.”
