Ariel Winter’s Mother Tries to Create Nude Scandal

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Ariel Winter's mother reportedly tried to get a Hollywood publicist to create a nude photo scandal.
The Modern Family star's mother Crystal Workman - who lost guardianship of her 14-year-old actress daughter amid allegations of physical and emotional abuse last month - allegedly tried to get publicist Jonathan Hay to leak naked pictures of her other daughter Shanelle Workman, 34, who was given temporary custody of Ariel.
The PR guru told gossip website RadarOnline.com, "Crystal Workman, the mother of Ariel Winter, wanted me to represent her and leak nude photos in the media of her other daughter Shanelle Workman. In all my years of being a publicist, I have never seen anyone stoop as low as wanting to sell out and destroy the reputation of her own daughter. Crystal said she wanted the public to see Shanelle for who she really was and smear her daughter in attempts to try and get custody back of Ariel. Crystal has called me nonstop in the last 48 hours, trying to get me to leak these pictures. Clearly, Ariel is in the right place with Shanelle and away from her mother."

Ariel Winter’s Mother Claims Actress Threatened to Make Her Pay

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
Ariel Winter's mother Chrystal Workman claims she was physically attacked and threatened by the young actress.
The mother of the 14-year-old Modern Family star - who is involved in a bitter guardianship battle after Ariel was removed from her custody last month and temporarily placed in her other daughter Shanelle Workman's care - hit back in court today and insisted Ariel threatened to make her pay and made up accusations of abuse after she banned her from dating her then boyfriend Cameron Palatas (18), according to gossip website TMZ.com.
"She is an actress so I'm sure she can cry at the drop of a hat," Chrystal reportedly said to the judge.
But lawyers for Ariel's older sister Shanelle told the Los Angeles court, "The child [Ariel] is, apparently, struck repeatedly, slapped, hit, pushed, not so as to leave marks. Mother is smart enough not to do that." The legal team also confirmed earlier reports that Chrystal was "a terror on the set of Modern Family and that the producer and others there have expressed grave concern." They also claimed Chrystal "sexualizes the child," which led him to produce a photograph of Ariel "dressed up to show off her breasts and otherwise."

Modern Family star Ariel Winter's brother claims that allegations of abuse against their mother are false.
The 14-year-old actress - who plays Alex Dunphy in the hit comedy series - has been removed from her mother Crystal "Chris" Workman's home by child protective services for the second time and placed in her older sister's care, but her brother Jimmy Workman insists there is no truth to the accusations of serious physical and emotional abuse.
"There is no truth to these allegations. The allegations made 20 years ago are not true and the ones today are not true. This is a mother who does everything for her kids. Chris misses Ariel and wants her to come home," he said.
Crystal also directly denied the accusations saying, "It's all untrue, it's all untrue. I have my doctor's letter that my daughter's never been abused."
A source revealed yesterday that Ariel's older sister Shanelle Gray was awarded temporary legal custody last month. The insider revealed that the girls also secured a restraining order against their mother, forcing her to stay 100 yards away from the young actress at all times.
