Ariel Winter Can't Keep Quiet About Body Shaming
by EG
Modern Family star Ariel Winter loves to wear revealing clothes and to share those clothes with her fans on social media. However, there are plenty of internet trolls who make a point of slamming her every time she posts a revealing photo. She should probably follow one of the oldest pieces of advice about life online - don't fee the trolls - but most of the time, she just can't help herself.

Slut, fat, trashy, ugly. The cruel words litter Ariel Winter’s Instagram feed every time she proudly posts a photo of her 5-foot-1 frame. For years, admits the Modern Family actress, the taunts cut deep — “It was really disappointing that people would hate me so much for dressing how I wanted to,” she explains — until she found a clever way to dress down her haters.
“It’s difficult to not write something sassy, but I feel better when I write something positive,” she tells Us. “Maybe they’ll not write something hurtful next time.”
The good-vibes move never fails to boost her spirit, she adds: “It makes you feel better about yourself.”
These days, the 19-year-old is riding pretty high. Though the child star admits, “I still get insecure all the time,” she finds ways to tap into her confidence. Sometimes that means remembering how proud she is of her shape (“I like showing off my butt”) or listening to the endless stream of compliments from her boyfriend of one year, actor Levi Meaden. Or it’s as basic as repeating her personal mantra. “The only person that matters is yourself,” she told Us at a November 8 LaPalme Magazine bash. “If you’re happy, if you’re confident, that’s all that matters.”
