Sarah Hyland Will Always Call Out Her Skinny Shamers

Sarah Hyland Will Always Call Out Her Skinny Shamers

Just as much as there is fat shaming online, there is also skinny shaming — and Sarah Hyland knows that first hand.

After opening up to her fans last year about how her health contributed to her thin figure, the Modern Family star still gets comments like “eat something” all the time.

Sarah responded to fans just recently who commented about her skinny appearance at an event, and now, is opening up to People, about how she’s always going to call them out.

“For me it’s just kind of like a natural reaction,” Sarah shares. “Sometimes it gets too much to where I’m like, okay, I really need to make a statement right now because what is happening is not okay. And it happens all the time.”

She admits that the comments she gets are from people who feel like they can say what they want because she’s an actress. Guess what though? You can’t.

“People think that because you’re in the public eye you sign up for criticism from random people and strangers,” she says. “But I’m in this business because I love the craft, and I love the art of it, and I love creating and evoking emotions out of people.”

That being said, Sarah isn’t going to not say anything when you comment on her weight.

“I just treat it like if someone’s going to say a comment to me, I’m going to say a comment right back as if we’re talking to my face,” Sarah adds. “You’re not behind a keyboard. You’re basically talking to me.”
