Ariel Winter removed from home after allegations of physical and emotional 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.

How awful for her, especially since it looks like her dad isn't in the picture. She's lucky to have her sister.

On a semi-related note, so random that Pugsley from the Addams Family is her brother! they look so alike too.

wow that really is random! what ever happened to him?

Nothing. Her mom and dad aren't divorced and Ariel is seeking legal emancipation from her mom and dad, not just her mom so her dad must have abused her at one point or another.

What makes you think that her dad isn't in the picture? He is http://www.zimbio.com/Ariel+Winter/articles/sIui1iwRH1z/Ariel+Winter+Mom+Goes+Dates

Her parents aren't divorced. All of the news reports are saying that Ariel is seeking legal emancipation from her father and mother, Glenn and Crystal Workman.

Damn, that's rough. It's hard enough to deal with that sort of thing, but dealing with it while famous? The pressure has gotta be crazy

well this mom was abusing ariel's older sister 20 years ago, so it really has nothing to do with hollywood.

The older sister was a child actor too.

I'm glad she has her sister to take care of her
