Modern Family star Ariel Winter's mother 'tried to sell nude photos of older daughter to get revenge after she won custody'

It is a custody battle that is becoming uncommonly bitter - even by Hollywood standards.
And now a publicist has come forward to claim that Ariel Winter's mother wanted to leak nude pictures of her older daughter in order to get revenge after she won custody of the Modern Family star.
Jonathan Hay is alleging Chrisoula Workman wanted him to sell the photos for her so she could discredit and get revenge on Shanelle Grey.

The move supposedly came after her estranged child was granted legal guardianship of the 14-year-old actress by the courts.
The decision was made because of court documents which alleged the child star was physically and emotionally abused at the hands of her mother, and the publicist is claiming she was out for revenge when she contacted him.
Jonathan told Radar: 'Crystal Workman, the mother of Ariel Winter, wanted me to represent her and leak nude photos in the media of her other daughter Shanelle.

'In all my years of being a publicist, I have never seen anyone stoop as low as wanting to sell out and destroy the reputation of her own daughter.
'Crystal said she wanted the public to see Shanelle for who she really was and smear her daughter in attempts to try and get custody back of Ariel.'
Jonathan, who has worked for Rihanna and the Kardashian family nanny, has also claimed she has been phoning him repeatedly in a bid to win him over to the idea.
He said: 'Crystal has called me nonstop in the last 48 hours, trying to get me to leak these pictures.
