Ariel Winter Continues Body Positivity Campaign

  • 7 years ago
Is it ironic Ariel Winter is becoming the poster child of body positivity for the Summer?

She talks to Refinery29 about the Online flack she constantly gets regarding some of her bikini pics, or more revealing outfits, and how she's choosing to flip the narrative for herself.

Ariel says, "I decided that instead of pleasing these people, I'll just spend that time pleasing myself."

The Modern Family actress is all about embracing what she's been given and working with that.

She tells Refinery29, "People are so stressed out about how they're going to look in their bathing suits that they forget to go to the beach... which defeats the whole purpose. The beach should be a safe space."

That doesn't mean Ariel doesn't have her insecurities, she admits she does, but ultimately says "this is who I am, I've learned not to care about that as much. I'm comfortable in my bathing suit, scars and all."

It makes sense Ariel would attempt to weigh in on an issue that probably affects every Modern Family member.
