>Ariel Winter is opening up about dealing with "male predators" in Hollywood. The 27-year-old, most famous for playing Alex Dunphy on Modern Family during the iconic sitcom's 11-season run from 2009 to 2020, discussed the lasting effects of her experiences as a young actress. "I am familiar with male predators because I worked in Hollywood at a young age. I started at age 4," she said. "I don't wanna say too much about it, but by the time I was on a laptop and cell phone, I was getting inappropriate messages from older men, and it caused trauma. The experiences I had in person and online as a child have affected me so deeply that I've had to go to therapy for it," she continued. "The movie and TV industry is a dark place."
