Julie Bowen Gets Humble About Helping Sarah Hyland Leave An Abusive Partner

“I'm sure another responsible adult would have done the exact same thing,” Bowen said of her “Modern Family” co-star.

Julie Bowen is downplaying her role in helping her “Modern Family” co-star Sarah Hyland during a crisis.

On Monday’s episode of “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast, Bowen was asked about a 2014 incident in which she helped Hyland — who played Bowen’s daughter on the hit ABC sitcom — leave an abusive partner.

“Sarah Hyland gives you credit for saving her life after a violent relationship,” co-host Lauryn Bosstick told Bowen, about 26 minutes into the episode.

“Oh, that’s very sweet of her,” Bowen responded humbly. “

You were like, it sounds like, a mother to her,” Bosstick pressed.
