'Modern Family' Star Ariel Winter Backs Kim Kardashian vs Chloe Moretz In Naked Selfie Drama

Modern Family star Ariel Winter is perhaps one of the best linked stars standing up for Kim Kardashian following that celebrated nude selfie she posted on Instagram.

Kardashian gave birth to her second child (Saint West) on December 5, 2015 but eventually decided to show off her pre-baby body with a nude image for International Women's Day. Parts of the photo where placed with censor strips to abide by the rules on Instagram.

The pic was however not a recent one but something taken over a year ago where she weighed 25 lbs. less. Regardless, the photo drew criticism from popular names that included Bette Midler, Piers Morgan and Moretz.

"If Kim wants us to see a part of her we've never seen, she's gonna have to swallow the camera," the 70-year-old Midler said. The reality TV star did fire back by replying: "Hey @BetteMidler I know it's past your bedtime but if you're still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding."

Winter came out to back up Kardashian on the Jackie O show explaining that posting a nude pic wasn’t intended to hurt anybody. "If somebody doesn't like the post, they can unfollow them," she said. "There's no reason to go on and publicly bash them and I think, you know, she's promoting positivity instead of being a bad role model."

But not long after comes the take of Moretz on Glamour.

"I saw that photo, and I had to say something. That picture wasn't linked to body confidence. It wasn't a #BodyConfidence or #LoveWhoYouAre. It was done in a slightly voyeuristic light, which I felt was a little inappropriate for young women to see."

When that came out, Winter didn’t exactly stand up and defend but took an indirect swipe at the ‘certain interview’ which was obviously aimed at Moretz.

"Many have asked about my opinion on a certain interview…all I'm going to say is this: If you take a photo in which you feel CONFIDENT about yourself and think it spreads a positive image, then GO FOR IT."

Kardashian and Moretz have been at it since March touching on setting goals for women and teaching them more about than just offering their bodies. The reality TV star responded (sarcastically) saying: "Let's all welcome @ChloeGMoretz to Twitter, since no one knows who she is."
