Ariel Winter posted a three-page rant on Instagram Monday night to, yet again, address the haters and body-shamers getting under her skin on social media.
‘I’m trying to live my life!’ the 19-year-old actress wrote to her combined 4.7M followers.
‘People wear shorts. People have wardrobe malfunctions. No one is perfect. I’m not a stylist! I don’t know what to wear everyday so I look “appropriate” or “fashionable.”

‘Also, screw having to always look appropriate or fashionable. For what? Society? Who gets to decide what is appropriate or fashionable? I wear what I like and no one should fault me for that.’
The four-time SAG Award winner frequently finds herself defending her scantily-clad tendencies to wear denim ‘panties’ and PVC mini-dresses.
‘Just because I DECIDE to show my body occasionally doesn’t mean I’m unintelligent or that I’m talentless or that I have no self respect,’ Ariel continued.
‘I have EXTREME respect for myself, I HAVE talent, and I AM intelligent. We need to move on from this stigma that women who are comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality are just “dumb s***s (sic).”

Winter was also very ‘disappointed’ that fans chose to only focus on comments she made about her estranged mother Crystal Workman ‘sexualizing’ her from age 8 in a recent THR interview.
‘I’d also like to address the tweets I get saying “you accused your mother of sexualizing you yet you’re a w****.” I was a CHILD being dressed like I was 24,’ the Modern Family starlet lamented.
‘I was 8-13 years old. I wasn’t an ADULT as I am now. As you mature at 16, 17, 18, you further develop your own identity and can make decisions for yourself. As a child, you do as you’re told regardless of what is good for you. I’m an ADULT now, who can make my own choices and have my own identity (sic).’
The Smurfs actress was last seen baring both legs in a Steven Khalil 2018 couture halter gown alongside her 30-year-old boyfriend of 16 months, Levi Meaden.
