Cameron’s personal life
Cameron Palatas has never exchanged marriage vows with anyone but the actor started experimenting with love as early as 2012 when he was 18. He dated the then 14-year-old actress Ariel Winter which led her mum to file statutory rape charges against him.
Reports had it that Ariel’s mother caught the duo in bed and they were in her guest room when the incident occurred.
However, Cameron was saved from the whole thing after legal guardianship of Ariel was transferred to Shanelle Workman her big sister. Shanelle Workman alleged that their mum abused her younger sister emotionally and mentally which culminated in the teenage Ariel receiving emancipation in 2015.
