For the longest time I wasn't a fan of Lena Dunham...I think it was because I was scared of how much she reminds me of myself. Along the way I learned how to love myself, and now after watching this interview I'm noticing how awesome she is too.

@snoozyq9576 3 жыл бұрын

I think people that honest can be easy to hate because people normally hide their dark parts. I see bits of myself in her too

Such an honest take. I truly believe that’s why many people don’t like her. She’s ridiculously authentic and just human. Who she portrayed on her show was a character but it was blunt.

She still molested her sister. She still kissed Brad Pitt without consent. She still can’t handle jokes about her. She’s still a horrible person who, thankfully will never reproduce.

Thank God for my sobriety!.... then.. after 6 years.. life happens and it’s no longer about yourself. It’s about helping the next person. I can choose to get out of this hellish thinking and be a part of a loving creation, at work, to serve my highest and greatest good... My story is just beginning,.. love you Drew! Thanks Lena!

Drew was an alcoholic and addict by the time she was 11-12 years old. She has survived a lot, and I do not feel she made this about her. I feel she was forming camaraderie and empathizing with Lena.

I love how she comes back claiming being a victim this week. "I left social media because trolls". Uh no you left because you were a hypocrite who attacked male victims of the me too movement who in some cases were accused without an iota of evidence. Until it was your friend and then you talked about what a great guy he is, and defended him in a way you criticized others for doing. You had no problem diminishing the accuser in that case. Until you realized how hypocritical it was, after the backlash you received. Seems you could offer others that same courtesy. Not to mention your bizarre behavior, predatory, towards your own sister. I can just imagine the response if you were a man.
