Sarah Hyland Is Copping Major Backlash For This Golden Globes After Party Video
Uh oh.
Modern Family star Sarah Hyland has landed herself in hot water yet again, and this time it's for a cheeky Insta vid from a Golden Globes after party.
In the video, posted to InStyle's page, Sarah is seen stumbling drunk in an elevator. With a champagne bottle in hand, she pretends to hit on the bellhop and steals his hat.
Fans have taken to social media to roast the actress for the video, claiming it is inappropriate in the light of this year's focus on combatting sexual harrassment and assault and the #TimesUp movement.
Really? In this climate? You show a young girl - drunk and falling into the arms of a an older man as doors close to give her no escape? Tone deaf much?

One user commented, "A bit controversial in heightened awareness times of Hollywood's time's up, don't ya think?"
Other fans are running to Hyland's defence, claiming the video is "harmless" and not to be taken so seriously.
Even Sarah has responded to the backlash, tweeting "#JohntheBellHop is a very nice old man. FYI. *completely sober*"
