Biography

In October 2012, her sister Shanelle Gray filed to become guardian of Winter, alleging their mother had been physically and emotionally abusive to Winter. In August 2013, Winter's brother, Jimmy Workman, filed to have Winter removed from Shanelle's care and custody granted to him instead. On May 5, 2014, the court ordered permanent guardianship to Gray and removed Winter from her mother's guardianship permanently. Gray and Winter's mother later released a statement stating "The family has moved beyond the conflict." On May 15, 2015, Winter declared on Twitter that she was officially emancipated.

In August 2015, Winter said that she had undergone breast reduction surgery in June to reduce her breast size from a 32F to a 34D.
