We haven’t heard all that much from Lena Dunham lately. I think most leftists with a shred of brain matter realized she did far more harm to their cause than she ever did good, so they’ve stopped holding her up as the feminist hero they once did.
Remember when a woman accused Lena’s friend of raping her, and Lena said she had “insider information” that proved it was all a lie?

Well, I think this should be enough to seal her coffin forever, because she’s admitting to being an even bigger fraud than we thought possible:

She made it all up.
“Believe all women” unless they accuse your friends, in which case you should make up crap about them that entirely tarnishes their credibility.
She revealed this during her stint as a guest editor for The Hollywood Reporter:
Big thanks to @lenadunham for guest editing this week’s @THR Women issue, and for writing a powerful and soul-searching editor’s letter. https://t.co/piJIa5PtEN

I’m sorry… how is she being praised for this?
It’s as bad as you think:
And so I made a terrible mistake. When someone I knew, someone I had loved as a brother, was accused, I did something inexcusable: I publicly spoke up in his defense. There are few acts I could ever regret more in this life. 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.
She made crap up about 17-year-old woman who may have been raped to defend her friend.
And even her supporters seem to have had enough of her disgusting behavior.
So we’re done with Lena Dunham, right?

Incredible. Lena Dunham gets rewarded for discrediting @AuroraPerrineau, a sexual assault victim — a black woman.
My question: Did Lena reach out to Aurora personally to apologize?
It would have been 1000x better if @THR gave the guest editorship and writing space to Aurora. https://t.co/0oQSYc5rg6

I don’t think any of you thought this through. Is it really that hard to find a non-rapist defender to guest-edit an issue of your publication?!

Sorry, Lena Dunham: Making up “insider information” in order to discredit a sexual assault victim should not be let off as a “mistake.”
It should be a career-ender.
This is not about the “dominant male agenda” – it is about your choices. https://t.co/aQw8u1zbAj

Just caught up on the Lena Dunham stuff. Wow…. she needs to go hide away for a while. That’s srsly f*cked up.

So proud of Lena Dunham for taking initiative here. It’s great she met her personal goal to wait a full calendar year to admit she’s a problematic person who shouldn’t speak publicly ever.

Lena Dunham and women like Lena Dunham are just…

So gross. Used her spot as guest editor admit she lied about a sexual assault. Literally lied about “inside information”.
Liking “girls” or anything Lena does is a huge relationship red flag for me. I don’t trust your moral compass if you like…well, this shit.

Lena Dunham’s constant fuck-ups and exploitation of those less priveleged than her actually make white men seem totally harmless in comparison….which is saying a lot…… https://t.co/Wi03UrDvjo

This actually makes me feel sick. It’s the same as an abuser saying, “but here are all the reasons I abused! I was only an abuser because of XYZ so it’s not my fault!”
And making it public in this way is ALL about redemption for Lena Dunham, and not closure or help for Aurora. https://t.co/GHeXk513iN

Meanwhile, Lena seems completely oblivious to the fact she’s ENTIRELY done:

Good riddance, Lena.
