In her defense, the only thing Lena Dunham ever molested was her book editor’s reputation. It led to Dunham being accused of molesting her little sister. She was later accused of “hipster racism.” At the zenith of her celebrity, Lena Dunham published her own messy, lowlife memoir, Not That Kind of Girl, which included a John Waters-flavored account of Dunham playing with her little sister’s vagina.
When pressed to comment on the lack of diversity in Girls, she rejected the accusation of racism by insisting she wanted to fuck Drake - which is outrageous. The media adored her until she gave them every reason not to.ĭuring Girls’s six seasons, Lena Dunham’s oblivious, hipster-airhead persona blurred the lines between fiction and nonfiction and turned her into a lowbrow spectacle.
Dunham turned HBO into a body-positive runway. Episodes of Girls were titled like a headline: “Vagina Panic” and “Female Author.” The feminist media felt like they had found their anti-sex Madonna. Dunham was nude in every episode like a hipster Lebasque painting that Camille Paglia would mock as a “pile of pudding.” Dunham is undeniably gutsy for turning her plump figure into viral thinkpieces. While I think Girls is one of the most stylish (and exquisitely curated) television shows of the past decade, it never transcended its era: millennial white girls struggling to find themselves amidst Brooklyn brownstones. It was the first show caught in the zeitgeist tornado of Twitter, a show that everyone had an opinion about and, for the first time, could share in real-time. Girls ran for six scandal-ridden seasons (2012-17).

Per a recent Hollywood Reporter profile, Dunham said she self-exiled after the final season of HBO’s Girls, describing the tumultuous period as a “fifty-car pileup,” when the “pressures of churning out the hit series while being cudgeled daily on social media” nearly broke her. I like it even more than I did in 2012.įor those of you who’ve muted Dunham from your feed, let me offer an update. I tweet the video: “White girls with tote bags.” I realize that what felt relatable in 2012 now comes off like a camp-cringe spectacle that’s oblivious and dumb. They dance together like white girls on Ellen. Hannah (Lena Dunham) is tweeting in her bedroom: “My life has been a lie, my ex-boyfriend dates a guy.” She deletes this and types: “All adventurous women do.” She stands up, shakes her hair, swings her tattooed arms and dances to Robyn’s “Dancing on My Own.” I was this person once, I think to myself, as another girl (Marnie) walks into the room and laughs maniacally as the two discuss the shocking reveal that Hannah’s boyfriend, Elijah, is gay (“he seemed gay”). Last June, we talked on the “Shoot This Now” podcast about all the reasons the Anna Delvey story would make a great movie.I’m watching Girls. She let people believe she was a German heiress, when in fact she was a financially strapped Russian, prosecutors said.Īmong the people she misled was Neffatari “Neff” Davis, a hotel concierge and filmmaker, who joined her on a spiraling journey through New York’s money-and-bluffing-based caste system that became the focus of the New York Magazine piece.

Anna Sorokin, who used the name Anna Delvey to pose as an heiress and bilk elite New Yorkers out of more than $200,000, was found guilty on several charges Thursday.
