The 18-year-old star who enjoys her fame due to said TV series is reportedly fired in favor of other casts.
International Business Times reported that the "Modern Family" production will let go of Ariel Winter to satisfy the pay hike demands of Sofia Vergara, Ed O'Neill and Julie Bowen.
"To renew deals for the 'big three,' some of the younger actors will be shuffled or cut entirely. Ariel isn't central to the show, so she's at the top of the chopping block," one source told Star Magazine.
