Sarah Hyland says ‘Modern Family’ producers made her wear heels while she suffered from gout:
“I was always focused on essentially just surviving and knowing my lines… being there 100% when they yelled, ‘Action’ — and then immediately collapsing when they yelled, ‘Cut.’”

She was 18 when she was casted and continued as an adult. Every job has its downsides. She signed up for one that wearing heels is part of it. Don’t see this warranted for headlines.

She wasn't a child actor on modern family as others have pointed out but she had been a child actor up to that point. She has a kidney disease that was probably treated as an inconvenience by many directors etc. in her career though. That's probs what the gout was from tbh
