Lorde’s mother has jumped into the internet’s long-running pop culture conspiracy theory centered around her daughter. Rumors accusing Lorde of having an affair with producer Jack Antonoff while he was dating Lena Dunham, 39, exploded again after the Girls star’s newly released memoir Famesick revisited their five-year relationship. In the book, Dunham reflected that she perhaps should have paid more attention to the time Antonoff, 42, spent alone in his studio with a “teen popstar” in 2017—a detail readers quickly linked to Lorde, 29. Now the singer’s mom, Sonja Yelich, appears to have made her feelings crystal clear. After Dunham appeared at the Met Gala on Monday, one Instagram user commented under an interview clip: “No one gives a s--t about your opinion Lena.” Yelich amplified the dig and replied bluntly: “No one.” The “Royals” singer has never publicly addressed the renewed speculation, though both she and Antonoff have repeatedly denied any romantic relationship. Dunham has also admitted she never directly confronted Lorde over the affair rumors—even while publicly praising a viral PowerPoint presentation dedicated to proving the alleged relationship.
