Admitting she got a little carried away during one of her fight scenes with Reese Witherspoon, the Modern Family actress said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show: "I sent her to the emergency room. Something with internal bleeding."

"I thought my appendix had burst," responded Reese, who initially stayed quiet about her mystery injury.

Sofia went on to explain that the accident occurred when Reese egged her on during the on-screen altercation - and even went so far as to joke that it was all the Legally Blonde star’s own fault!

She said: “I push her and I push her and I kept telling her I think I'm pushing you too hard and she was like 'No, do it real.’”

"I was like, 'Push me hard!'" laughed Reese.

That's when it happened.

"I was like this in the sofa and I popped her ovary," said Sofia, to shocked roars of laughter from the studio audience. "I popped her ovary!”

When Ellen asks Witherspoon to confirm this story, she quips, "It's clearly something that happens in Colombia, that popped your ovary. I don't know what happened."

Ouch.
