"Ariel Winter&amp;apos;s real-life family drama continues.\r\nThe Modern Family actress, 14, was removed from her home earlier this month after allegations of physical and emotional abuse emerged against her mother, Chrisoula &amp;quot;Crystal&amp;quot; Workman. And now, TMZ has obtained court documents that Winter&amp;apos;s brother, Jimmy Workman, filed in the guardianship case involving his mom and sister.\r\n\r\nAccording to the site, Workman claims in his declaration that he does not want to point fingers -- he simply wants to help.\r\n&amp;quot;My position is not to take sides with anyone, but to get this family back to where it belongs,&amp;quot; he says. However, he then goes on to add that he believes &amp;quot;[Ariel&amp;apos;s sister] Shanelle Gray is not the right person to have custody&amp;quot; of her, and that he &amp;quot;never&amp;quot; witnessed any physical or emotional abuse at the hands of his mother.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;[There were] normal mother and daughter arguments and banter back and forth,&amp;quot; he explains, &amp;quot;but nothing more.&amp;quot;\r\nWorkman gave a similar account earlier this month when Us Weekly talked to him about the situation with his sister and the allegations against his mother.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;There is no truth to these allegations,&amp;quot; he said at the time. &amp;quot;The allegations made 20 years ago are not true and the ones today are not true.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;This is a mother who does everything for her kids,&amp;quot; Workman told Us. &amp;quot;Chris misses Ariel and wants her to come home.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
