Julie Bowen of Modern Family opened up about helping Sarah Hyland leave an abusive relationship.
On the Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, the host mentioned that “Sarah Hyland gives [Julie] credit for saving her life after a violent relationship.”
“Oh, that’s very sweet of her,” Julie said in response.
“I was a responsible adult that happened to be around at the right time,” she continued. “I’m sure another responsible adult would have done the exact same thing. I just love her.”
When asked if she views Sarah like a daughter, Julie responded, “Oh, of course!”
She then mentioned that she views all of the young stars on Modern Family as her kids, and they still text and call each other all the time.
Many TikTok users left comments praising Julie for her role in the matter.
“I met her in real life,” one person wrote. “The sweetest person ever. Such a kind soul and talked to me for over an hour while we were on the plane.”
Another person added, “In my experience, another adult does not always jump in. It took me leaving for many people to then voice that they ALWAYS had concerns.”
In other words, it took a strong and caring individual like Julie to support Sarah through her difficult time.
