Ariel Winter was criticized for wearing booty-shorts and a lacy top in a photo from her night out with her "squad" which she shared on Instagram on Thursday, July 13. And the next day, the "Modern Family" star took to her Twitter account to slam haters for body-shaming her, urging them to "leave young women alone."
"Pretty annoyed about the focus on the fact that I wear shorts, and the commentary that I'm 'squeezing' into them or the idea that it's not okay for me to wear shorts," Ariel began in her rant. "It's SUMMER. Get over it," the 19-year-old former Disney star continued. "It's hot, obviously I'm going to wear minimal clothes. I'm not going to suffer in a turtleneck to please anyone."
"I'm not a whore because I wear shorts and tank tops. I'm a normal girl," she defended herself. "Also, I'm not 'squeezing' into anything. My shorts fit me and everything I'm doing is just fine. Please leave young women alone. We're just living our lives. It's really troubling that we even have to deal with this kind of stuff nowadays. Please stop criticizing everything everyone does!!!!! Rant over!"

It's not the first time Ariel has taken to social media to respond to online trolls who criticized her for wearing revealing ensembles. She called out her haters who attacked her for her choice of outfit in early May after she went full-glam at the screening of "Modern Family".
"Why TF does anyone care that I didn't dress casual like everyone else for the panel? Why do I have to be like everyone else? Why can't people just let other people feel good about themselves and do what they want?" she tweeted at the time.
The Alex Dunphy depicter continued, "WEAR WHATEVER YOU WANT PEOPLE! As long as you feel good about yourself that's what matters. I know I did. Don't ever let anyone stifle who you are and how you express yourself. Rant over :)"
