Modern Family star Ariel Winter, 14 was removed from her home after allegations surfaced that her mother was emotionally and physically abusing her court sources told TMZ. A report went around that Winter wanted to move in with her boyfriend and she wanted to be emancipated from her mother, but that story is not true. Winter’s guardianship went to her older sister, Shanelle Workman after a court found that Winter’s mother, Crystal Workman was abusing the child star. Allegedly this is not the first time Crystal Workman has been accused of abuse…when Shanelle was younger she suffered similar abuse.
Ariel Winter, the 14-year-old actress who plays Alex Dunphy on “Modern Family,” has been removed from her home by a judge in the wake of serious allegations of physical and emotional abuse by her mother … court sources tell TMZ.
There’s a report Ariel is seeking legal emancipation from her mom so she can be with her boyfriend, but that report is false.
Court sources tell us … on October 3rd, after a guardianship hearing, a judge determined the allegations that Ariel was being physically and emotionally abused by her mother Crystal Workman were serious enough that the judge placed Ariel in a temporary guardianship with her older sister Shanelle Workman. Our sources tell us … mama Crystal was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Ariel.
Ironically, we’ve learned Shanelle suffered the same alleged abuse as Ariel. Nearly two decades ago, the Department of Children and Family Services removed her from Crystal’s home based on similar abuse allegations. Law enforcement sources tell us … D.C.F.S. placed Shanelle in foster care for more than 2 years. She never went back to her mother.
According to court records, the judge has set another hearing for November 20.
