Ariel Winter Opens Up About Her Abusive Childhood & It’s Quite Shocking

Best known for her work on “Modern Family” as the brainy teen Alex Dunphy, Ariel Winter seems as the quintessential child star who rose to fame but alas, her personal story isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it’s far beyond the norm.
