Ariel Winter would like to clarify some things for the press.

On Wednesday, Refinery29 published an interview with the Modern Family actress, in which she talks openly about her journey to self-love and acceptance . However, various press outlets chose to focus on Winters comments about her relationship with with 29-year-old Levi Meadon, saying she was defending their age gap . Other outlets focused on her comments about Donald Trump , claiming she was fighting back against the president.

True to Winters style, she proceeded to call out those who missed the message with a post on Instagram.

Yall I love you but PLEASE pay attention and post my REAL point from my @refinery29 interview!!! Not that Im defending living with my 29 year old boyfriend or that Im firing back at Trump because first of all I dont need to defend anything Im super happy and in love, and Im not firing at anyone just sharing an opinion after being ASKED! she wrote.

She continued, The point was to take back the beach and help people understand that the beach should be a safe space to go as you please and feel good about yourself no matter what!
