    The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Sofia Vergara declared her love for Justin Saliman on Instagram and then provides a quote from the actress's post. This is not evidence of any logical fallacy but rather an attempt to establish credibility through the use of a well-known celebrity. Additionally, there are several instances where the author uses inflammatory rhetoric by quoting Vergara's posts in which she makes derogatory comments about her ex-husband Joe Manganiello and his family. This is an example of ad hominem fallacy as it attacks the character of Manganiello rather than addressing the argument at hand. The author also uses a dichotomous depiction by stating that Vergara's divorce from Manganiello was amicable but then quoting her post in which she makes negative comments about him and his family. This creates a false dilemma as it presents two opposing views without providing any context or explanation for the contradiction.
