Sarah Hyland, famous for playing the role of Haley Dunphy on the show, Modern Family on ABC. is taking a break from social media for a while because of the blacklash she has been receiving the past few days. 

People on social media were upset with Hyland, who earns about $100,000 per episode on Modern Family, for asking her fans on social media to donate money on a GoFundMe page to pay off her cousin’s funeral, medical expenses, and “her uncle’s surgeries.” Apparently she didn’t make the GoFundMe page, however, she tweeted a link to the page, urging people to donate.

After receiving all that blacklash, she went to Twitter and tweeted, “You guys finally did it. Your horrible ignorant words have broken me. Happy? Staying offline for a while.”

Someone replied to her tweet, “Guess modern family didn’t pay much” and another person replied “I don’t understand why you are asking people to donate when your networth is 9 million dollars.”

Sarah’s cousin, Trevor Canady who is 14-years-old was killed “in a suspected drunk driving incident” in Omaha, Nebraska and her uncle was injured in the same crash.

Recently, Sarah Hyland got a second kidney transplant after she got her first kidney transplant in 2012 when a few years later in 2016 “her body started to reject it.”

Sarah has kidney dysplasia which is when a kidney doesn’t properly develop before being born.

The treatments didn’t work and Sarah’s doctor said that her “kidney was like a burning house.” She started to regularly undergo dialysis which is a treatment that filters blood in and out, which is what a kidney is supposed to do. This led to health problems and losing body weight. It became even worst after the blacklash she has been getting over social media these past few days.

“I was very depressed,” Sarah said. She started talking to people that she’s really close with to talk about her suicidal thoughts which started to help her mental health.

She said in a interview,“For anybody that wants to reach out to somebody but doesn’t really know how because they’re too proud or they think that they’ll be looked upon as weak, it’s not a shameful thing to say. It’s not a shameful thing to share.”
