The Most Controversial Moments from ‘Modern Family’

7. Lily’s F-Bomb

The show received major backlash when Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) began dropping F-bombs at the most inappropriate times. The young actress never actually said the F-word. Instead, she was instructed to say the word “fudge,” while her voice was bleeped and her lips were blurred during the post-production process. But the point was to make it appear that Lily had a bit of a cursing problem, and the foul language sparked backlash from groups such as the No Cussing Club and the Parents Television Council. These organizations felt the joke was done in poor taste, and it would encourage young children to use obscene language. Actor Eric Stonestreet who plays the character Cameron, took to his Twitter and told everyone they need to “Chill the f**k out.” Well, that’s one way to silence the critics.
