In an Instagram photo Winter posted, the young actress was wearing a lacy top and a pair of "booty" shorts. This apparently set off a chain of criticisms from her followers, as first reported by Us Weekly.

Responding, Winter wrote on Twitter, "Pretty annoyed about the focus on the fact that I wear shorts and the commentary that I'm 'squeezing' into them or the idea that it's not okay for me to wear shorts."

She continued, "It's SUMMER. Get over it. It's hot, I'm obviously going to wear minimal clothes. I'm not going to suffer in a turtleneck to please anyone."

Winter has dealt with fashion and body shame critics in the past, so she shot back, "I'm not a whore because I wear shorts and tank tops. I'm a normal girl. Also, I'm not 'squeezing' into anything. My shorts fit me and everything I'm doing is just fine."

The 19-year-old also took up the defense of other girls who've suffered unsolicited criticism, saying, "Please leave young women alone. We're just living our lives. It's really troubling that we even have to deal with this kind of stuff nowadays."

She ended by exclaiming, "Please stop criticizing everything everyone does!!!!! Rant over!"
