Controversy

The Modern Family actress has been at the center of countless controversies. Most of them involve people shaming her for her body shape. Recently, Winter clapped back at someone who accused her of getting plastic surgery. She took to Instagram to address the rumors. The shamer commented that Winter looked better before “chopping up her body.” The person decided to share this comment on Instagram: “Nothing wrong with being honest and telling her we liked her better before ‘the change,’” the commenter wrote. “She was so beautiful before she started chopping up her body and if me saying so helps one (girl) out there to feel beautiful who’s thinking of (plastic surgery) then it’s worth it.”

Winter replied to the body shamer: “I appreciate you wanting to help girls love themselves the way they are, but you are also kind of cutting someone (me) down which isn’t what I think you were trying to do?” she replied. “I also didn’t get plastic surgery. That is also not being supportive of women if you’re just assuming something about the way they look.”

How she makes her money

Outside of her film and television work, Winter also earns money from doing voiceovers for movies, television shows, and video games. Some of her voiceover projects include Phineas and Ferb, The Penguins of Madagascar, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, and Sofia the First.
