Modern Family Star Ariel Winter Slams Fan Concerns That Her BF Luke Benward Is 'Controlling'

Don’t come after Ariel Winter on TikTok!

The Modern Family alum spends a lot of time on the app sharing videos of her cooking escapades, her dogs playing and lounging around the house, and life with her boyfriend Luke Benward. But this week, she took time out of her TikTok creator schedule to call out a fan who worried that Luke was being “controlling” in their relationship. And she did it in the perfect way!

Last Friday, the 25-year-old star posted a video of what she called her “go-to weeknight” recipe for making stuffed peppers for dinner. The clip itself is pretty straightforward. Ariel shows fans how to chop up the peppers, dice onions, add spices, sprinkle cheese, and cook the whole thing. Simple, right? Well, at one point, Benward walks into the video, grabs some cheese, and tosses the pieces over to the dogs off camera. As it happens, Ariel jokes on cam:

“He’s a grill daddy, he’s a dog daddy, he’s a cheese daddy.”

LOLz!

Ch-ch-check out the video for yourself (below):

Love it! Just a nice cooking clip for fans to follow if they want a new recipe. And that’s the end of the story, right? Uh, WRONG!

Down in the comments, one fan posted a since-deleted remark about how Benward is “controlling” towards the Tripped Up alum. And in response to the now-wiped comment, per E! News, Ariel went all in on the sarcasm! She wrote:

“Guys please help he’s forcing me on onlyfans so he can be my manager and he doesn’t let me out of the house!!!! SOS!!!!”

Ha!! She went WAY over the top to clap back at that allegation! That’s definitely one way to quell fan rumors before they pick up steam. Jokes aside, Ariel then added that TikTok users ought not “believe everything they see” on the app before going on to fully assure her fans and followers:

“He’s a great man, and if he wasn’t, the dogs would take his ass outside.”

LOLz!! That’s one way to lay it out there!

Speaking of those dogs, BTW, Ariel and Luke have six of ’em: Casper, Cobain, Cupid, Chloe, Cash and Cleo. And just last week over on Instagram, she revealed how they celebrated Easter with the doggos as the center of their family focus:

Seems like a fun family weekend with the cutest fur babies ever!
