Lena Dunham Was ‘STABBED IN THE BACK’ By ‘Fat-Shaming’ Sweatshirt… That She Came Up With

Apparently, Lena Dunham, the woman notorious for showing off her naked body any chance she gets, thought it would be cool to make a “fat shaming” sweatshirt. But it would be FUNNY because only fat people would wear it and it would be IRONIC… or something.

Um…ok.

Anyway… the company she was teaming up with made the sweatshirt. And then put it on models.

Lena is pissed because the models looked like models.

According to TMZ:

Lena Dunham is backing up the bus over Revolve … saying the company essentially stabbed her in the back when it put her “Fat is not Beautiful'” sweatshirt on a skinny white chick.

HOW DARE THEY. FAT NON-WHITE CHICKS ONLY OMG.

Lena says she had teamed with Revolve to roll out the shirts which read, “Fat is not beautiful it’s an excuse.” She says the intent was to reclaim the hateful phrases Internet trolls use — a la rappers using the n-word.

YUP. Because “rappers using the n-word” has worked really, really well.

But, she says that all backfired when the clothing company “presented the sweatshirts on thin white women.” Lena says that destroyed any attempt to reclaim the phrase because … well, now it just seems mean.

Facts don’t care about your feelings.

OUCH.

(NOTE: What’s TMZ’s obsession with the model being WHITE all about? Would this have been different if the model was a cute skinny BLACK girl? I thought we were talking about weight here… not race. Why you gotta ALWAYS make it about race?! They bring up that the model is white MULTIPLE times.)

Also… this is absolutely idiotic… and everyone’s losing their minds about it.

The backlash was immediate, and even though plus-size model Tess Holiday seemed to laugh it off — Revolve pulled the ad featuring the cute, skinny white model … then started the damage control. It says it’s donating $20k to a young women’s charity.

“If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life.”

Is it awful that I don’t necessarily see that as a GREAT thing?

I don’t. There’s “realistic, healthy, and empowering role models” …and then there’s this.

By the way, the sweatshirt cost $168 and had already sold out by the time the ad was pulled.

I wonder how much of that “backstabbed” Lena gets to keep.
