The 19-year-old actress, who does not shy away from stating her opinion, took to Instagram to slam photojournalists for hounding her and her live-in beau Levi Meaden.
"Y'all I never post pap pics but I just got sent this and I'm posting it because Levi's so pissed and his face is so good. It's f**king Ralphs! What headline are you getting with this?
"Over and over! 'Ariel in s**tty shorts and live-in lover Levi" like ok can we just live and not be followed?" wrote Winter, alongside a photograph with her boyfriend coming out of a shopping store.
"Take pics on red carpets where we sign up for that not when we're just trying to grocery shop," she concluded.
Winter has earlier been criticised for her fashion choices and sharing a home with 10-year older boyfriend.
