Lena Dunham Cancels Appearances Amid Molestation Accusations
ABC News ^ | November 3rd, 2014 | Lesley Messer

Posted on 11/03/2014 4:03:33 PM PST by Third Person

Lena Dunham has canceled two book tour dates in Europe amid accusations that she molested her sister when they were children.

The actress tweeted on Monday that she was no longer going to attend events in Belgium and Germany.

"To my Belgian readers, so very sorry to miss the Antwerp Book Fair today but I can't wait to come back and eat fries with you. Much love," she wrote. "German readers: I am deeply sorry to miss tomorrow's event in Berlin. I am so grateful for your energy and support. Mit viele liebe."

The "Girls" star, 28, has been criticized for passages in her book, "Not That Kind Of Girl," that detail experiences she had with her younger sister Grace when they were children.

In one paragraph, Dunham wrote that she offered her then-toddler sister "three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds ... basically anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl."

[ I don’t see her as so much guilty over her behavior as a 7 year old (no normal 7 year old does that IMO - something was very wrong in her life) but I do hold her guilty for her weird boasting and defending of it as thought it was good, ok, and normal. ]

One wonders how much TV and Media at the time had to do with her “Curiosity about Kissing”?

It would appear that ABC is flag-carrying for child molesters now.

The perverts and pedophile-enablers over there are using as many weasel words and soft lies as they can manage. The entire piece is a series of painfully obvious attempts to deceive, reframe, and apologize.

It’s coming ladies and gentlemen, the next front in the culture war.

She slept in the same bed with her sister until she (Lena) was 17 and admitted to masturbating while they were in the same bed.

I think these are potential criminal charges. Child services would have yanked the little sister out of an unsafe home under these facts.

From Dunham's book:

I shared a bed with my sister, Grace, until I was seventeen years old. She was afraid to sleep alone and would begin asking me around 5:00 P.M. every day whether she could sleep with me. I put on a big show of saying no, taking pleasure in watching her beg and sulk, but eventually I always relented. Her sticky, muscly little body thrashed beside me every night as I read Anne Sexton, watched reruns of SNL, sometimes even as I slipped my hand into my underwear to figure some stuff out.

"Further, she’s a liberal; liberals get away with their sleaze and crimes, so, move on, nothing to see here.

To liberals, it's called research.

Lena Dunham’s little sister now describes herself as “queer”. That should qualify as a negative effect of Lena’s abuse.

To suggest that a 7 yr-old girl is even capable of “molestation” is vile. #clickbaityourselvestohell xo @lenadunham

Not to mention bad parenting to have two children of sexually mature or maturing age in one bed....

(assuming her sister was 13 at the time) (7 vs. 3) 4 years younger her sister was.

You always want to segregate the beds of children and segregate by rooms brothers and sisters.

You never want children of the opposite sex in the same room over the age of 5 if it can be helped.

I think Kimmel is in more trouble - he will have to back off his comment. dunham wrote it to be provocative and get sales - it probably never happened - and she will claim it didn't and get by with it

“but I can’t wait to come back and eat fries with you.”

I definitely believe the eating french fries part.

The legitimacy of her Oberlin “raped by a Republican” claim is at stake. It’s going to get worse for Lena before it gets better.

I bet that freak thought she was being so edgy by writing that.

I hope this is the start of the big fade out after her 15 minutes.

her dad:
His eclectic style of painting has become best known for his merging of cartoonish and bimorphic figures in work that is emotionally complex and often sexually suggestive.

She was SEVENTEEN and sleeping in the same bed with her sister while masturbating.

That is odd.

I think she’s still possibly criminally liable. Hope they prosecute. She’s such an annoying libtard. Another Woody Allen.

Pretty soon she’s going to be eating a lot more than fries.

she made a joke about her uncle molesting her on twitter a few months ago. Had to apologize for it.

Cancellations probably have more to do the Europeans complete lack of interest in buying her book. I barely know who she is. She has used up fourteen minutes of fame.
