Lena Dunham Rips ‘Insane’ Obsession Over ‘Shape of My Body’

The “Girls” star ripped into the media’s current “Ozempiced-out moment.”

Lena Dunham has hit back at the media obsession with her appearance while filming the HBO show Girls in the early 2010s. Reflecting on her time in the public eye during an interview with The Times, Dunham said: “I expected that people would have a response to the kind of sex the show was depicting or the level of nudity, but the idea that my body, the shape of my body, would become such a hotbed for discussion? It was insane. I can’t say I was never rocked, but I’m lucky enough that my thing has never been looking at a picture of myself and picking myself apart or feeling tortured about how I looked—it’s just not my area. I have my own stuff I’m tortured about, but it wasn’t that.” The writer/actor also criticized the current “Ozempiced-out moment” and quipped “Does the body positivity movement still exist? “I don’t know where it is.” Following the runaway success of Girls, Dunham admitted she took some time out of the limelight, and relocated to London with her husband Luis Felber. Her new show, Too Much, debuts on Netflix in July.
