Well, she’s found herself in a spot of trouble after some comments she made about Ariel Winter.

As we all know, the Modern Family star is body shamed on the daily (*eye roll*) and because Nikki is starring in upcoming flick Dog Years with Ariel, she was recently asked about her thoughts on the matter.

“She’s so young and she’s so beautiful and so talented and she’s got a great body, and she should be able to wear what she wants,” she told TooFab.

Then, and here’s where the dramz comes in, she added: “granted, yes, there are children in the world, so cover up a little bit.”

After Nikki started to receive loads of online hate, she set the record straight with a lengthy statement.

“I am lucky enough to call the beautiful and talented Ariel Winter not just a co-star but a friend. She is absolutely stunning inside and out and I learned a lot from working with her. The main thing I learned was to not put too much into the opinions or thoughts that are meant to hurt or bash you,” Nikki said in a statement. “She lives her life the way she wants to and I admire her for it. We only get to live life once, we may as well do it the way we see fit and the way that makes us happy. If showing some skin, no matter what size or body shape you are, makes you happy and feel good about yourself then you should do it. Do what makes you happy and live life to the fullest.”

Okay okay, she’s forgiven!
