People are mad at Sarah Hyland’s ‘problematic’ Insta photo

People are saying it upholds patriarchal values of women's bodies. - by Milly Haddrick

Last night, Sarah Hyland posted a cheeky photo to her Instagram with some fans calling the NSFW snap 'problematic', because it involves her fiance Wells Adams grabbing her boobs.

Posting a photo of herself, her future hubby and a few friends in a photo booth, the group joked around with the women pulling funny faces and the men grabbing their partner's boobies.

While it all seems to be consensual, harmless fun, many people took to social media to call the photo problematic amidst the Me Too movement.

"We take wedding photo booths very seriously... #mcm to the men who love and treat their ladies like queens 👸🏻 💕", Sarah captioned the post.

While it looks like the Modern Family actress has deleted a lot of the negative comments (and honestly we can't blame her) a couple of criticisms included sentiments like this: "In times of gender balance and women's rights and respect, we still see pics like this... we are not moving forward with such mentalities."

Meanwhile, floods of fans flocked to the comment section to defend the actress against claims that the photo is problematic, rightly pointing out that it is looks like consensual fun between couples.

Sarah seems pretty unfazed considering the photo is still on her feed, so sorry haters.
