Sarah Hyland Shares Shocking Selfie, Explains Why She Was "Torn From Work"
Without getting into specifics, Sarah Hyland has opened up like never before about her health problems.
And our heart aches for the Modern Family actress as a result.
Over the past several months, Hyland has often had to combat chatter that she has an eating disorder, as fans have reacted with shock and dismay over her frail appearance.
The 27-year old has never discussed in great detail exactly what affliction she unfortunately has, but Hyland has confirmed she underwent a kidney transplant in 2012.
In a 2015 interview with Seventeen Magazine, she said simply that she was “born with so many health issues.”
These issues apparently struck again in a frightening manner this week, considering what Hyland shared on her Instagram Story yesterday, which just happened to be National Selfie Day.
(Yes, this is evidently an actual day now.)
“Sometimes a selfie is more than just a good angle or feelin cute,” Hyland wrote as a caption to the disturbing image below.
“This time for #NationalSelfieDay, I’ve decided to share my truth. As painful as it is.
“So here is my face that was torn from work against my will. But I’m very grateful it was. Health should always come first.”
As you can see, Hyland’s face is horribly and, we assume, painfully swollen.
In a second Instagram snapshot, Hyland wrote that she was hospitalized on Monday, June 18 — and added that her beloved canine, Boo, knew something was amiss right away.
“Can’t wait to come back to my precious angel princess. She’s perfect and knows exactly what I need at all times,” Hyland penned alongside a video of the dog giving her kisses, adding:
“This was taken this past Sunday. Day before hospitalization. She was literally telling me to get treatment.”
Again, it’s unclear exactly what is the matter with Hyland.
But it’s clearly pretty serious.
With Modern Family on hiatus, the actress was working on the comedy movie The Wedding Year when she became ill, an insider tells Us Weekly.
This latest incident comes just over a year after Hyland blasted critics who scoffed at her weight.
“My circumstances have put me in a place where I’m not in control of what my body looks like,” she angrily Tweeted at the time, emphasizing:
“I am working hard to maintain my weight by eating as much protein as possible and continue to be STRONG and healthy.
“There’s no need to worry! I’ve been down before and I’ll probably be down again in my lifetime but I’m steadfast and solid and will conquer my obstacles.”
Sadly, Hyland also has had to deal with tabloid speculating in the past about her appearance and whether she has had any plastic surgery.
“THIS MAKES ME SO MAD to have [doctors] give their opinion ON MY FACE is absolutely ridiculous and degrading,” she tweeted in November, appropriately adding:
“F-ck off.”
In this same (justified) rant, Hyland touched on her ongoing health struggles:
“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.”
Addressing the magazine Life & Style, which ran the report questioning her looks, Hyland concluded:
People like you are the reason why young girls need to alter their face. MY face has been altered by LIFE SAVING medication. Take your “journalism” and use it for some good. FOR ONCE.
Perfectly said, Sarah.
We really hope you feel better soon.

Josh Duggar Returns to Social Media, Gets Torn Apart By Fans
Over the weekend, Josh Duggar’s son Marcus celebrated his fifth birthday.
Normally, Josh keeps a pretty low profile on social media, but he decided to make an appearance on Facebook in order to celebrate Marcus’ big day.
Needless to say, it didn’t go well.
The above photo appeared on the Duggars’ official Facebook page on Saturday, along with the following caption:
“Happy birthday to our sweet grandson, Marcus!” Josh’s parents wrote.
“We love your sweet, precious spirit, Marcus! You are growing up so fast and learning new things each and everyday! We love you and love watching you grow in the knowledge of the Lord.”
Josh made a tentative return to social media last week, but it seems his intention then was to quietly steal money from fans.
This is the first time in quite a long time that fans have seen a new photo of Josh.
It’s also the first confirmation in several months that — despite rumors of Anna leaving Josh — the family of seven is very much intact.
Some Duggar followers didn’t take the news so well:
“Josh should be castrated!” wrote one fan, adding:
“Those poor little girls are at risk for being prey to their own father! The plot to cover for this monster was a very Christian thing to do!”
“Ugh that josh tho,” commented another Facebook user.
Those sentiments were widely echoed, and the memory of Josh’s sexual misconduct clearly remains fresh for many.
And those folks remain thoroughly disgusted by his actions.
But as In Touch Weekly points out, a surprising number of fans are calling for forgiveness for Josh:
“A story of God’s love and restoration. Too bad others have such a difficult time forgiving. God bless this family,” one fan wrote.
“It’s so nice to see a photo of Anna, Josh and their beautiful family. Anna doesn’t post too often on Instagram,” remarked another.
Yes, it may be hard to believe, but there are folks out there who are fervently Team Josh.
We don’t know what’s more bizarre — that some people are so quick to forgive such shocking abuse, or that they’re eager to advertise their loyalty to Josh on Facebook.
In either case, it seems the eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle won’t be going away anytime soon.

Derick Dillard Attacks Jazz Jennings AGAIN, Gets Torn Apart on Twitter
If you’re a fan of the Duggar family, then you’re probably already aware that Derick Dillard has been fired from Counting On as a result of his decision to berate and harass fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings.
Back in November, Dillard directed an unprovoked social media tirade at Jennings, a transgender teen who also stars in a reality show on the network.
In the months since, neither Derick nor his wife, Jill Duggar, has filmed any scenes for her family’s popular series, and it doesn’t look as though they’ll be returning to the spotlight anytime soon.
These days, it seems that Derick is trying his best to make amends, but as usual, he’s just digging himself a deeper hole.
The latest Derick dust-up has had to do with the former reality star’s views on the national gun control debate.
Last week, Dillard attacked the survivors of the Parkland school shooting for behaving in a “ridiculous” fashion.
Needless to say, his comments were not well-received.
Yesterday, he tweeted a link to an article in which he was criticized for being critical of traumatized teens.
“No, I criticized the media’s use of kids again…like @TLC uses Jazz,” Derick tweeted in his own defense.
“My heart goes out to the victims, but all ideas should be heard, and subjected to criticism.”
He probably would’ve been better off not bringing up Jazz up again, but ultimately it was a pretty tame comment by Derick standards.
Unfortunately, when fans responded to the tweet, Derick chose to engage with them in offensive fashion:
When one Twitter user accused Derick of bullying Jazz, Dillard responded:
“Hi, please realize that I never said anything against him.
“If you read that in a tabloid, I encourage you to be extremely skeptical of anything put out by any opinion or gossip publication.”
Yes, while claiming that he can’t understand why people think he’s being unkind to Jazz, Derick once again misgendered the girl.
Not surprisingly, fans weren’t having it:
“If you are uncomfortable or against using the pronoun ‘her’ you could just use the name ‘Jazz’,” wrote one follower.
“You don’t have to go out of your way with the ‘he’ and ‘him.’ It would be the kind thing to do. Just sayin.”
“You are a hypocrite and a child abuser and a bully,” tweeted another.
A third slammed Derick as an “ignorant piece of sh-t.”
Dillard has yet to respond to the latest round of criticism against him.
As for the Parkland issue, however, Dillard is sticking to his guns – literally.
He recently tweeted a link to a post about a conspiracy theories and alleged anti-gun media biases with this description:
“True; I think it’s pretty obvious. My wife has over 200,000 followers and still hasn’t been verified.”
Well Der, if it’s any consolation, now that you’ve gotten her kicked off her show, Jill probably won’t have that many followers for long!
Watch Counting On online to relive better times for the Dillards.

Duggar Family: Torn Apart By Jill & Jessa"s Spinoff Series?!
On Sunday, Jill and Jessa: Counting On will premiere on TLC.
The reality miniseries will follow the two most famous Duggar daughters as they rebuild their lives in the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals.
While several members of the family have participated in Counting On and will appear on camera, others are reportedly disgusted by what they feel is an exploitative attempt to turn Josh’s abhorrent behavior into a ratings bonanza.
Specifically, several unnamed family members are taking issue with the fact that Anna Duggar will appear on Counting On.
Anna, as you may know, is the long-suffering wife of Josh Duggar.
In accordance with her family’s wishes, she’s mostly stayed away from the public eye in the months since we first learned of her husband’s many sexual indiscretions.
In recent weeks, however, Anna has broken her silence, and some Duggar insiders are not pleased that she’ll be sharing her story on Jill and Jessa’s show.
“Certain members of the family are more focused on ratings and a paycheck than actually focusing on the issues at hand,” one unidentified Duggar tells Entertainment Tonight.
The source adds that most of Jill and Jessa’s family members have “chosen not to participate in the special out of respect to the serious ordeal the family has been going through in the last months.”
Of course, some believe that the Duggar siblings are opting out of the show in order to please family patriarch, Jim Bob.
From the start, there were rumors that Jim Bob did not approve of Jill and Jessa’s spinoff, but his complaints had more to do with his lack of involvement than with his concern for Josh’s victims.
In any event, Counting On is proving to be a greater source of strife and controversy than Jill and Jessa could have possibly anticipated.
The show has already prompted a boycott of TLC, and the sisters’ efforts to rebuild their family’s reputation could very well backfire.

One Direction Covers "Torn," Internet Goes Insane
Look out, Justin Bieber!
One Direction means business.
Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan are releasing their new album today… the same day on which Bieber is also coming out with a new album.
And these four British hunks have found a quiet and emotional way to promote the record, performing a number of hits on BBC Radio 1’s "Live Lounge."
But the one that has the Internet truly abuzz is Natalie Imbruglia’s "Torn," for multiple reasons:
- It"s a great track.
- It"s a song One Direction performed together way back on The X Factor, when they were initially discovered.
This has extra meaning to fans because One Direction will be taking a hiatus in 2016, following this release of "Made in the A.M."
So fans around the World Wide Web are having all the feels when it comes to this acoustic, stripped down version of Imbruglia’s"s smash hit.
To wit, these are actual Tweets in response to the video featured here:
- WHEN THEY SANG TORN MY WHOLE LIFE SINCE THE START OF MY ONE DIRECTION OBSESSION FLASHED BEFORE MY EYE IM DONE
- Omg they did torn I"m so emotiNIALL like don"t do this to me before The album is released so many feels!
- concept: me sitting alone on my floor crying while watching 2k15 one direction covering torn on the live lounge
The group also sang some of its own stuff during this BBC appearance, while sneaking in another cover, “FourFiveSeconds,” by Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney.
But "Torn" is all any longtime follower is talking about at the moment, for reasons true One Direction fans understand.
Watch the mesmerizing rendition now and try not to cry too hard.
