‘Modern Family' child star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons, who played Lily, comes out as bisexual
Aubrey Anderson-Emmons played Lily Tucker-Pritchett, the adopted daughter of a same-sex couple, on the 22-time Emmy-winning series. And on Sunday, she took to TikTok to announce that she is bisexual. In her post, the 18-year-old lip-syncs to audio of a scene from the hit ABC show.
'No, I'm not, I'm gay! I'm gay!' her character says, while her stepgrandmother, Sofia Vergara's Gloria Delgado-Pritchett, tells her 'You are Vietnamese.' Her father Mitchell Pritchett, played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson, responds, 'You're not gay, you're just confused ... Oh my God, what is wrong with me?'
However, the reveal came in the layover text, in which Anderson-Emmons wrote, 'People keep joking so much abt [sic] me being gay when I literally am (I'm bi).' The caption said, 'happy pride month and to all a good night.'
Many fans rejoiced in the comments, with one claiming she was 'the sassy princess raised by two queens,' referencing her parents in the show, Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker (Eric Stonestreet).
Another simply joked that she was 'half gay, half Vietnamese,' based on the audio.
'Modern Family' has long been celebrated for its LGBTQ+ representation, with a specific highlight being the marriage between Mitch and Cam. Anderson-Emmons' character joined the show in its third season.
During its 11-season run, the show earned nomination in the category of Outstanding Comedy Series at the GLAAD Media Awards for 10 consecutive years, winning in both 2011 and 2012.
Since the series ended in April 2020, Anderson-Emmons has pivoted toward a music career. She recently released a single, 'Telephones and Traffic,' and teased another single, 'Don't Forget Me,' out on June 27.

Why Frances Anderson Stepped Away From Acting After Modern Family
Originally appeared on E! Online Frances Anderson was looking forward to a modern teenage experience. So when Modern Family ended after 11 seasons in 2020, the actress—who played Lily on the hit ABC sitcom—knew it was time to try life as a normal teenager after years on set. "I was homeschooled while filming Modern Family, which ended when I was 12," Frances told E! News' Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. "I decided to take time off from acting to go to school, be with kids my age, and find myself." And while the 18-year-old is currently focused on music—opting to go by her middle name instead of the birth name Aubrey Anderson-Emmons she used as a child star—she isn't ditching life in front of the camera forever. "I plan to act again," Frances noted, "but the break was exactly what I needed." But the break didn't exactly provide her with the most normal teenage years as her return to school coincided with the pandemic. More from E!

'So I went from a major TV show to lockdown. Eventually, I enrolled in a public school with 4,000 students—very overwhelming! People recognized me, and it was a lot. I ended up switching schools and found a place that fit me better." Now, Frances is shifting back into the public eye, this time as a singer-songwriter, whose EP Drown released August 8. 'A lot of my music is inspired from stuff when I was younger, when I was a kid,' she explained. 'A lot about what my experiences were like in high school, and I hope that people find it relatable.' As for why she decided to release her music under a different name? For her it was really quite simple. "I wanted to switch it up and I wanted people to see a new side of me," Frances said. "And I wanted to create a space specifically just for music. And I'm so excited for everybody to hear the songs on the EP, and I'm so grateful.'

Plane Passenger Purchases Window Seat So She Can Look at the View. But Woman Behind Her Has Other Idea (Exclusive)
Tori Wils was filming content when the woman behind her on an airplane kept pulling her shade downNEED TO KNOW Tori Wils was filming content when the woman behind her on an airplane kept pulling her shade down When she told the woman to stop, they laughed about the incident together Wils shared the video on TikTok, and it went viral, amassing 3.1 million viewsYou can't control the people around you on a plane. Tori Wils was on a two-hour flight to North Carolina when the woman behind her decided she was tired of the sunlight streaming in from Wils' window. As the 26-year-old was filming the view for her TikTok, she saw a hand reach out and pull down her window shade. When Wils pulled it back up, the woman behind her pulled it down again. Wils then turned around and asked the woman to stop, which she, thankfully, did. 'After I put the phone down, I said stop and we laughed about it and she stopped,' Wils shares with PEOPLE. Still, Wils shared the video on TikTok, and it went viral, amassing 3.1 million views. 'It's crazy to see how many people it's affected,' Wils says, noting that the comments section was full of people sharing what they would have done in the same situation. 'If I pay for a window seat I'm using the window I don't care. I'm terrified of heights but the view out of the plane window makes me forget about that cause it's so beautiful," one person commented. 'If that ever happens to you, ring your call light above you and let the flight attendant know. They will have your back. That's your seat and that's your window,' a flight attendant chimed in. Another person simply wrote, 'That's your window, not hers!' While Wils notes that it was the first time someone had tried to share her shade, she ran into another issue on the flight back home, when the person in front of her abruptly reclined their chair. 'I had my tray table down to hold my water and then the person in front of me reclined their chair in a rough way and my water spilled all over the place,' Wils shares. Both instances call into question proper airplane etiquette, a hot topic online nowadays, as people debate the best ways to share the air while respecting personal space and boundaries.
