Ariel Winter Claps Back at Tabloid Over Sexist Headline
Despite the fact that Ariel Winter is arguably most famous for posting racy selfies on Instagram, she’s become something of a divisive cultural figure in recent months.
(Yes, we’re aware that Ariel is also one of the main cast members on Modern Family, but you don’t see Ed O’Neil in the tabloid because the former Al Bundy doesn’t look good in a bikini, ya know?)
Ariel is frequently slut-shamed for her social media posts, and she often calls out sexist remarks from her followers or from media outlets.
It’s admirable, but it’s also led to a sort of feedback loop, wherein Ariel posts a pic, someone says something idiotic about it, she fires back, they both get to go viral, and the whole thing repeats itself the following week.
As a result of this scenario, many who once praised Ariel for her empowered responses have become skeptical of her motives and started openly questioning if she’s less concerned with feminist ideals than with raising her public profile.
Of course, not all of Ariel’s sassy counter-arguments have to do with her risque photos.
Winter recently celebrated her nine month anniversary with boyfriend Levi Meaden.
The relationship has been a source of controversy for a number of reasons.
For one thing, Ariel is 19, and Levi will turn 30 in a few weeks.
On top of that, they seem to be progressing very rapidly, having moved in together after just a couple months of dating.
Because Ariel is beginning to rival Kylie Jenner as the tabloid media’s favorite teen to obsess over, hot takes about the nature of her relationship are depressingly common.
The latest culprit is Star magazine, who posted the following dumbass headline over the weekend:
“Is Ariel Winter Desperate For Boyfriend Levi Meaden To Propose?”
Ariel could’ve easily replied by invoking Betteridge’s law and pointing out that any headline that asks a question can be answered with the word “no.”
Instead, she took things a step further and had a little fun with the folks at Star:
“Yes and I’m already pregnant to seal the deal. I WILL HAVE HIM!!!!! MUAHAHAHA!” she tweeted.
A well-deserved diss, considering the Star piece begins with a foolish headline and gets more ridiculous from there:
“Ariel has already convinced Levi to get matching tattoos,” a source tells the tabloid.
“Levi was totally against the idea at first, but he can’t say no to her.”
Star goes on to claim that friends worry the relationship has become “codependent,” and Ariel is so anxious for Levi to propose that she’s taped photos of engagement rigns she likes on her refrigerator.
Having perused Ariel’s Instagram page, we know she’s not huge on subtley, but that’s heavy-handed even for her.

Maisie Williams Shuts Down Sexist Headline: See What She Said!
Maisie Williams for ALL the wins, people.
The Game of Thrones actress has been featured prominently on Game of Thrones Season 6, but that’s not why we’re singing her praises right now.
Instead, we’re giving mad props to Williams for her response to an openly sexist newspaper headline from earlier this week.
It stemmed from an event the young star attended over the weekend, one that raised money for an important cause.
But did The Daily Mail focus on this cause? Did it talk about the reasons why Williams a masquerade ball?
Nope. It took aim at her outfit instead. Here is the headline:
Because Maisie Williams is totally awesome, though, she didn’t take this slight sitting down.
She didn’t remain silent in response to being called out for not wearing a bra.
She went ahead and re-Tweeted the sexist remark, offering up an alternative for what the newspaper could have written in its place:
HA! We love it.
This isn’t the first time Williams had spoken out against sexism, either.
Consider her awesome take on the idea of feminism in general. Is she all for it? Sort of, but…
Like we said above: Maisie Williams for ALL the wins.
Instead of saying someone is a “feminist,” let’s all go in the opposite direction and use the term “sexist” for anyone who is somehow opposed to women being equal to men.
Okay? Okay!
Glad we had this conversation.

Prince Murder Headline Sinks Tabloid to New Low
We still do not know why Prince died.
There has been ample speculation, but fans of this iconic singer may need to week several weeks before the complete autopsy results are made public.
This much we know, however:
Prince was not murdered.
And any publication that writes otherwise ought to be ashamed of itself.
We’re looking at you, In Touch Weekly.
The latest cover story of this supermarket tabloid actually uses a photo of Prince, along with the all-caps headline of IT WAS MURDER.
Is there any evidence to back up this wild allegation? Come on. What do you think?
“Homicide has not been ruled out by the Minnesota authorities,” an anonymous source supposedly tells the magazine… even though the Carver’s Country Sheriff said in a press conference last week that no foul play was involved.
So, from where does the tabloid conjure up this “murder” thing?
From an unnamed private investigator who has no connection to the case and who says that perhaps a physician gave Prince too many pills.
“If someone overprescribed medication for Prince, in my opinion, it was murder,” this totally real individual says.
The magazine goes on to cite Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray, referring to the latter as “precedent” for a doctor providing his famous patient with too much medication.
Of course… Jackson died immediately after Murray administered a fatal dose of Propofol; Murray ultimately faced a manslaughter charge for the act.
Prince, conversely, fell unconscious in an elevator inside his Minnesota residence. He was not under a doctor’s care at the time.
It’s very possible that an accidental overdose led to the artist’s tragic demise.
But we’re pretty sure an “accidental overdose” does not qualify as murder.
We know we should be used to tabloids simply making up stories in order to sell issues. Check out the gallery below for a number of example.
But this one feels particularly crass, doesn’t it?
For purple shame, In Touch Weekly. For purple shame.
