Lena Dunham admits she lied to discredit actor Aurora Perrineau's rape accusation

[skypilot]

10. For the longest time...

...I never actually knew who Lena Dunham was. I'd skimmed some articles about her and gleaned that she was liked by some people and despised by others. A few years ago I tried to watch "Girls". I'd just finished watching a season of another HBO show and was jonesing for a new show while I waited for the next season of the one I'd just watched. I got through 20 minutes of "Girls" and was completely put off. The first scene of the first episode where the entitled,pouting young woman's parents are telling her that they were no longer going to pay her way simply irritated me to no end. I had no idea that the actress playing the entitled, pouting young woman was Lena Dunham. I just knew that I found the character intensely unlikable. Fifteen minutes or so later when the same character is on a couch with her behind in the air while her creepy boyfriend searches for lube I'd had enough. It wasn't until a day or so later when I looked the show up on IMdB to see what others thought of it that I found out that the person I'd been watching was Lena Dunham. I know that Ms. Dunham and the character she played on that show are two different people but those 20 minutes I afforded the show left me with a bad taste in my mouth and a determination to avoid anything with Lena Dunhams's name attached to it.
