IF YOU RECALL: The self proclaimed feminist, Lena Dunham, came to the very public and disgusting defense of her friend, Murray Miller, when he was accused of pedophilia and sexual assault. The rape accusation was brought to light during the height of the powerful #MeToo Movement. Dunham was often outspoken in her support, although feigned, toward the #MeToo Movement.
The woman that Murray Miller had assaulted was African American Actress Aurora Perrineau. At the time of the rape in 2012, Aurora was only 17 years old while Miller was 35. Upon hearing the accusations toward Miller, Dunham came out to discredit Aurora’s assault account in an attempt to publicly shame her about divulging this information.
In her “apology” Dunham admits to LYING about having “insider knowledge” of the situation that would prove Miller’s innocence. Reading Lena Dunham’s apology is quite maddening, because it was more an attempt to gather public pity toward herself than to apologize to Aurora. She attempts multiple times to make herself the victim in this narrative, blaming society instead of her inability to sympathize and believe a sexually assaulted Black Woman.
