Although Ariel Winter often receives a ton of flak from fans and trolls alike if she posts anything even remotely scandalous on Instagram, this time they’ve had a change of heart and are actually praising her for it.
“Modern Family” star, Ariel Winter, has grown up overnight it seems.
And she never fails to remind us on social media that she is no longer a little girl — but rather, a fully grown woman.

But this time, she posted something a tad more risqué than we’re used to seeing from her.
Ariel has had to deal with a lot of criticism this year about her body.
After her breast reduction surgery and her dramatic weight loss, everybody felt the need to chime in, passing judgments on her photos.
At only 21 years old, Ariel has quite the history of fending off body-shamers.
So, of course, when she started to rapidly drop weight, fans took notice — accusing her of plastic surgery and drug abuse.
She clapped back at a fan that accused her of “chopping up” her body.
She explained in an AMA segment on her Instagram story that her weight loss was a result of switching antidepressants.
“For years I had been on anti-depressants that caused me to gain weight that I couldn’t lose no matter what I did,” she explained.
“It was always frustrating for me because I wanted to get fit and feel like the work I was doing was paying off, but it never felt that way. I had accepted it and moved on.”
“The change in medication instantly made me drop all the weight I couldn’t lose before by just giving me back a metabolism,” she said.
“While I feel better mentally with the change, and it’s nice to work out and have your body actually respond”.
“I want to gain a few pounds of muscle and get healthier. Also want my butt back”.
“There’s nothing shameful about seeing a therapist or being on medication,” she added .
“I’m hoping the discussions will keep us progressing in the right direction with mental health check ups.”
“We don’t need to hide our struggles even though I know how hard it is to share,” she concluded.
She once sarcastically clapped back at a troll that accused her of using cocaine and meth to lose weight quickly.
Evidently, she has proved that she is not one to be trifled with on social media!
Anyway, here’s the aforementioned risqué photo:
Instead of being shamed by fans for showing a little more skin than usual, they actually applauded her for it — how refreshing!
Don’t get me wrong, there were a ton of creepy, inappropriate comments left under her photo. But for the most part, the feedback was positive.
Fans politely let her know that she is slaying their feed.
People were gushing with envy over how well she was pulling off the white lace corset.
I am people.
What I wouldn’t give to be able to effortlessly pull off lingerie as a shirt.
Others kept it simple, just remding her she looks good AF.
At this rate, Ariel’s ego is going to take up every room she walks into. There’s no way someone can be boosted this much and remain humble.
I would honestly love to know where she got her top just so I can buy it, try it on, realize she looks 10x better in it, and then never wear it again.
I’m convinced that no one could pull off this look better than she just did.
Sorry, not sorry.
Ariel is a bombshell. The end.
Let us know what you think of Ariel Winter posting a scandalous, white lace lingerie photo on Instagram!
Ariel isn’t the only ‘Modern Family’ star to receive criticism on her body.
She’s not even the only Dunphy child from Modern Family to have to deal with unwarranted comments — it’s hard being on one of the most watched sitcoms of all times and not being able to avoid public opinion.
Sarah Hyland, who plays Ariel’s sister on the show, has dealt with more than her fair share of body negativity.
Sarah’s issues also come from a medical problem, although hers aren’t a result of medication, but instead a result of surgery.
Sarah has had kidney transplant surgery (twice) and explained the way that it happens.
“When they do a kidney transplant, they connect the new kidney to your old kidneys in front,” Sarah explained . This creates a bulge on her lower abdomen. “I call it my KUPA: kidney upper [expletive] area. Always have. Will forever.”
Sarah has often used Spanx to hide or distract focus from this bulge.
She’s also received criticism for using Spanx, since she’s naturally quite slim and people who weren’t aware of her condition felt she had no need to use it.
Sarah was quick to retweet this explanation.
She wasn’t trying to look skinnier, she was trying to downplay the bulge on her kidney area. However, she’s recently come into more confidence and acceptance when it comes to her KUPA.
Sarah performed her new song, “Met At A Party” with Jordan McGraw at the Teen Choice Awards, and proudly showed off her bulge.
“Yesterday I had my first nationally televised performance of a song I did,” she captioned her Instagram post on the subject.
“I was terrified.”
“I was excited. There was a PHENOMENAL crowd supporting us the entire way through. Thank you so much to everyone who watched!”
Sarah had one last person to thank, though.
“And a final thank you to my ever changing self confidence for making the decision to not wear spanx and let my KUPA (kidney upper [expletive] area) shine like the badass [expletive] she is,” Sarah finished .
