Dunham is now as well-known for her extraordinary ability to put her foot in her mouth as she is for her searing and brilliantly satirical portrayal of millennial women in Girls , which debuted in and ended last year. Still, the past couple of weeks have been a low point, even for a cultural figure who has been buffeted by public criticism for much of her time in the public eye. There was even a promoted Twitter moment highlighting some of these opinions, which felt unnecessarily mean.
More striking, Dunham has been thoroughly sidelined from the MeToo movement, in which women around the world have opened up about their experiences with sexual aggression—a pointed exclusion, especially since Dunham has been telling her own such stories for years, and has focused on the complexities of sexual assault in her show.
The internet pounced when Dunham appeared in a photo with organizers of the TimesUp protest at the Golden Globes—a group of women in Hollywood who have come together to raise awareness and funding for women who have suffered sexual harassment and discrimination. What happened to the Lena Dunham lauded for her precocious genius and millennial feminism when Girls debuted?
There had already been a flurry of criticism of the lack of minority representation in Girls , and she was no stranger to controversy. Still, there was a turning point when Dunham claimed that the black football player Odell Beckham Jr. She was branded a racist who reinforced the hyper-sexualization of black men, and criticized for projecting her own insecurities on someone who merely sat next to her and took a phone call.
I take reproductive choice in America more seriously than I take literally anything else, and therefore own full responsibility for any words I speak that don't convey this truth clearly. I know plenty of people will never like a thing that leaves my lips, mea culpas or no, but this apology is for the women who have placed their trust in me. You mean everything to me. My life is and always will be devoted to reproductive justice and freedom. You know how in some households you curse and have to put money in a jar?
Lena Dunham. Dunham's latest mea culpa came Wednesday in a letter she wrote as a guest editor for The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment issue. The "Girls" creator apologized to actress Aurora Perrineau for publicly disputing her account of being sexually assaulted by "Girls" writer Murray Miller. Last November, Perrineau told The Wrap that she had filed a police report accusing Miller of raping her in , when she was 17 years old and he was Miller denies the allegations and in August, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office reportedly declined to pursue a case against him.
In her THR letter, Dunham admitted that she had lied when when she claimed she had "insider information" that would support Miller's innocence.
I didn't have the 'insider information' I claimed but rather blind faith in a story that kept slipping and changing and revealed itself to mean nothing at all. I wanted to feel my workplace and my world were safe, untouched by the outside world a privilege in and of itself, the privilege of ignoring what hasn't hurt you and I claimed that safety at cost to someone else, someone very special.

It belonged to my great-grandmother, Regina Hyman, and it was actually part of a pair of earrings that my mother wore when she was in art school in Rome—until she lost one. So she had the remaining earring made into a necklace for me. She was trying to figure out a chain, and Christopher had this little length of rhinestone left, and there we were.
Because of COVID precautions, for my family to be there at all they had to go through certain protocols to come into the U. I was really worried about it, but my father [Carroll Dunham, pictured], my mother, my sibling Cyrus and his partner, my aunts Bonnie and Susan, my uncle Bart, and my cousin Jenna were all able to be there, and that was really special.
So I numbered all the cards. Writing them was so fun, and being able to say them meant everything. Our florist, Gail Smith, did this amazing thing: She asked me to give her adjectives about each of my bridesmaids.
Then she made a little key and hung the adjectives as tags on their bouquets, and they had to go find them. My engagement ring is a pinkie ring. We had the moment under the tallit, and that was my favorite thing, because we got to have this private moment in front of everyone, which was really incredible. The tallit belonged to our rabbi!

I changed between the ceremony and the dinner into a long, satin, slightly more cream gown that had a high neck, split sleeves, and this wild jewel detail that Christopher did a few collections ago that creates a frame around your torso.
