Sarah Hyland: Modern Family actress hits back over body shaming

Sarah Hyland had a kidney transplant in 2012

"I'm here to say that no-one should aim to be the weight that I am right now," Sarah Hyland said as she responded to criticism about her appearance.

The Modern Family actress took to social media after suggestions she looked anorexic in a recent photo. Hyland underwent a kidney transplant in 2012 after battling kidney dysplasia her whole life.


"I'm not in control of what my body looks like," the actress said in a post on Twitter. "I strive to be as healthy as possible, as everyone should."

Kidney dysplasia is a condition which can eventually cause the organ to malfunction. Hyland made the comments after some fans suggested she looked anorexic in a recent Instagram post.
