Ariel Winter is done with Los Angeles. Speaking to her television mom, Julie Bowen, on the “Quitters” podcast (via People), the actor cited a specific reason for leaving the city of angels that many celebrities can relate to. “Part of the reason I always hated L.A. is because I have been followed by paparazzi for a very long portion of my life,” Winter said. “And I really, really dislike having my space invaded.”
Once a person becomes a notable actor, their life is now on full display which is something Winter always disliked. “I don’t like pictures of me when I haven’t signed up for pictures of me,” she added. “I’ve always just wanted to live a very, very normal life, just have a normal existence.” As a result, her and her boyfriend Luke decided to sell their house, their cars, and left town.
Winter has also been a big advocate for mental health and tries her best to ensure she is in a healthy headspace. “I go to therapy every week and I’ve been doing it for eight years,” she said during an interview with Teen Vogue. “I want to stay the person I am, work hard, and see what happens.” While, the actor may have moved out of Los Angeles, she is still booking gigs in the city. According to People
, she is slated to star in the NBC series “Hungry.”
