TMZ has learned. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chrystal Workman&lt;/strong&gt; filed a declaration with the court, obtained by TMZ, in which she fires back at allegations made by Ariel's older sister &lt;strong&gt;Shanelle&lt;/strong&gt; ... that Chrystal would constantly say horrible things to Ariel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the docs, Chrystal says, \"The allegations in [Shanelle's] petition are untrue. I have never put Ariel down or told her that she is overweight.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Chrystal says she constantly told her daughter that she is \"smart, beautiful and talented.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\"Since birth, I have loved and cared for Ariel in all her physiological and emotional needs,\" Chrystal says ... adding, \"I have always been her caretaker and looked out for her best interests.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We broke the story ... Shanelle was awarded temporary guardianship of Ariel over allegations that Chrystal physically and emotionally abused Ariel. Chrystal has denied the allegations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the docs, Chrystal also claims Shanelle is only using Ariel as a \"stepping stone to further her own career as an actress.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chrystal says Ariel makes $75k per week from \"Modern Family\" alone ... and is concerned Shanelle will misuse the money to buy herself a new house. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the docs, Chrystal says her relationship with Ariel went south when she found out her 14-year-old daughter was involved in a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old man."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
