Modern Family star Ariel Winter slammed the media and body shamers in a lengthy Twitter rant posted on Monday night.
The 19-year-old actress has often been criticised and abused online for the way she dresses, and has also been attacked by body-shamers.
She recently opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about her estranged relationship with her mother, and expressed disappointment with the criticism she received after her interview sparked an online backlash.
In a series of tweets the actress wrote: "Something I wish people would realize… I am NOT trying to be featured on Snapchat, I am not trying to be pap’d everywhere I go, I am literally just LIVING and unfortunately, I can’t do that without paparazzi following me around everyday.
"I’m not trying to show you my ass in shorts when I go to the grocery store. I’m trying to live my life. People wear shorts. People have wardrobe malfunctions. No one is perfect."
Winter didn't stop there. She added: "I don’t know what to wear everyday so I look ‘appropriate’ and ‘fashionable.’ Also, screw to always having to look appropriate and fashionable. For what? Society? Who gets to decide what is appropriate and fashionable?
"I wear what I like and no one should fault me for that. I don’t want people to constantly see me in the news for going to dinner, or grocery shopping, or anything.
"I want to be in the news when I ASK for it by going to a publicized event. So trust me, I don’t want to see me in shorts putting water in my car every single damn day as much as you don’t."
She went on to address the criticism she received after her recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, where she opened up about being sexualized by her mother at a young age.
