Lena Dunham Rebuffed His Kisses

December 5, 2018 Blind Gossip

[Blind Gossip] During the height of the #MeToo movement, an actress named Aurora Perrineau came forward and stated that she had been attacked at the age of 17 by a male writer who was twenty years older her senior.

That man, Murray Miller, is a close friend of actress Lena Dunham, and was a writer and Executive Producer on the Dunham’s TV show Girls.

Lena Dunham – who prides herself on being an ardent feminist – immediately denounced the woman’s statement as a lie.

While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story, our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year.

One year later, Lena Dunham is now apologizing to actress Aurora Perrineau. She is also relaying her own experiences with several men.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

…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.

To Aurora: You have been on my mind and in my heart every day this year. I love you. I will always love you. I will always work to right that wrong. In that way, you have made me a better woman and a better feminist.

…

People often come up to me and say, “You’re so open and vulnerable. You have no shame.” But I have spent the past decade hiding — my own pain, but also men’s mistakes. I didn’t want to tell anyone about the 70-year-old Hollywood luminary who was so angry that I rebuffed his kiss that he made me do 30 takes of the word “hello,” or about the Oscar nominee who drove me to the place he lost his virginity while I asked again and again when I could be dropped home.

…

I didn’t want people to know which male writers and stars had raged at me. And I thought that was my job, to absorb their misery and smile like I wanted more. I gave up on the idea that I could protect myself because, as my best friend Scotty says, “When the particular brand of validation you’ve received is abuse, you’ll take it and like it and thank them for it a thousand times.”

    Um, people aren’t complimenting her when they say she has no shame.

    I’m skeptical of her apology and most things she does.

    Lena Dunham, ew! I wish she would just sit down and shut up!

    She is self serving. She says and does things to stay relevant. Please go away, Lena. Far, far away.

    Can’t stand her, find her repulsive. I dont believe a word she says.

    Lena Dunham is a known liar. And let’s be real honest – she’s thirsty like a Big Gulp. Every few months she needs a refill. I don’t know what dirt she has on her enabler/apologist Judd Apatow but it must be pretty damning.

    I can’t imagine anyone who would want to kiss this woman. She is just so unpleasant.

    Lena Dunham’s “solidarity” does not extend to women of colour.

    Hollywood Luminary: no idea

    Oscar Nominee: no idea

    [Optional] Self – serving, While it is terrible for anyone to experince sexual harrassment/assault, Dunham is just a horrid person, not mention in her book of molesting her much younger sister!

    Don’t know about this but Dunham is a brat. Everything she does is calculated and in her favour.

    Lena needs to STFU and go away. First she threw shade at OBJ for not drooling all over her obvious beauty and magnetism, then she threw her 2 cents into a harrassment victim’s personal business and narrative. Really?

    Self serving.

    She built her ‘brand’ as an unapologetic individualist feminist but is in actuality – none of those things.

    Go away Lena. Self serving all the way.

    I don’t have a clue on the blinds. But I think her apology is self-serving. She’s using this as an opportunity to get pity. Again. I’m a woman, and even just today I had to put a male coworker in his place by telling him not to talk to me in the manner that he was. I cut him off, I rose my voice, and he backed off and apologized. It’s that simple. No “woe as me”. I went back to work. Her comments frustrate me because she has a voice, but she is not representative of all women.

      Very well said. Thank you

    I feel like I can’t know if on the inside it is sincere or self-serving…. but I do think it is super meaningful and pretty great. To admit that. Right?
    I really really really was struck by that quote at the end: “When the particular brand of validation you’ve received is abuse, you’ll take it and like it and thank them for it a thousand times.”

    She can’t help but make it all about her. It seems like everyone is out there trying to sexually harass her. Doubtiful.

    Soooo self-serving! Sorry but her stories of abuse are no worse than anyone else’s stories of bad/abusive bosses or co-workers. We’ve all had them, even if the abuse is non-s*xual in nature. And certainly they are not anywhere near the magnitude of a [email protected] allegation. Dunham is just too much about getting herself attention and sympathy. 😣

    What a self-serving statement. She knows people are tiring of her non-sense so now she wants to be so sorrowful about her behavior. Bye Felecia

    I don’t know who the people in the blind is but I don’t buy her apology and I don’t feel sympathy for her. She should’ve been there for Perrineau. I don’t think you can point the finger and call another woman a liar and expect sympathy for yourself. I think she’s repugnant all around.

    December 5, 2018 at 10:56 am

    Sorry, Lena, but I do not feel your pain.

  20. scumby says

    She admitted child molesting her sister so she is probably lying about these.

  21. thepretzelchick says

    December 5, 2018 at 10:24 am

    Has she apologized to her younger sister yet?

  22. katnmowse says

    Well someone is desperate for attention! I’m going to go with Lena is full of it.

    No idea on the two louses, but Lena Dunham hasn’t been out there publicly for a while. She needs relevance. So here it is.

    Creepy Luminary: not sure

    Creepy Oscar Nominee: James Franco? Bradley Cooper?

    Lena is an insufferable AW who isn’t doing any favors for women. If she were beautiful, she’d probably be even more of a troublemaker.

    I don’t know who she could be referring to, but I believe her apology is extremely self-serving. She is always ranting and raving and trying to be Politically Correct but only when it serves her best. She is extremely insincere to me and I find her to be hard to stomach.
