NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL

Lena Dunham Apologizes to Abuse Victims

But slams critics for misinterpreting her book.

Lena Dunham responded again to critics’ charges that she sexually abused her younger sister, Grace, based on passages in her new book. “I am dismayed over the recent interpretation of events described in my book,” Dunham said in a statement to Time, defending herself against the way parts have been taken out of context to accuse her of being a 7-year-old child molester. Dunham did apologize though for offending any survivors of sexual abuse. “If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention,” she said. “I am also aware that the comic use of the term ‘sexual predator’ was insensitive, and I’m sorry for that as well.”
