Sarah Hyland may make viewers laugh for a living as a series regular on Modern Family.
But there’s something the young actress does not find funny at all.
And that something is this: Chatter around the Internet that she’s undergone plastic surgery.
On Wednesday, the 26-year-old actress went off on an article that featured “plastic surgery experts” weighing in on whether she had work done.
The article was included within the pages of supermarket tabloid Life & Style.
“THIS MAKES ME SO MAD to have [doctors] give their opinion ON MY FACE is absolutely ridiculous and degrading,” she tweeted. “F-ck off.”
Citing medical concerns, just like she did back when she slammed talk that she’s anorexic, Hyland continued to blast the erroneous plastic surgery claim, adding via Twitter:
“I have had the worst medical year of my life and to create an entire article surrounding the question of if I’ve had plastic surgery is the MOST insulting thing.
“Adding insult to injury, you have NO IDEA what I have been through. And I have somewhat addressed these rumors already.”
Following this message, the Modern Family star went on to send along numerous videos of herself in a face mask.
“Hey @Life_and_Style. Got some work done tonight. Going for a new look… gonna write about this now?” she joked in one of the captions.
Although we all know there was real vitriol behind this so-called joke.
Later, Hyland used the hashtag “#FakeNews” when sharing another photo of herself in this mask.
Prior to defending her face, Hyland also wrote back to a fan who asked about the sexuality of her character, Haley Dunphy, on the aforementioned ABC hit sitcom.
When asked if Haley is bisexual, the actress responded as follows:
“I don’t know what the writers would say? But I confirm.”
Interesting. We’ve never really heard that possibility bantered about before.
It’s sort of a random question to ask and answer, considering Hyland’s Haley has never dated a woman.
Her most prominent relationships over the course of eight-plus seasons have been with Dylan and Andy, both of whom are of the opposite sex.
But perhaps Hyland is teasing a storyline to come on Modern Family Season 9?
Guess we’ll need to tune in to find out.
In real life, meanwhile, Hyland appears to be dating Wells Adams.
