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."

In our state, meets the definition of rape.
Oh, I looked. Disgusting childish no talent
Yes
“I will tell you something ladies. I as a male have advised women not to do certain things because it would put them in a vulnerable position. Boy did I get a glare. Suggesting not to drink heavily on early dating makes some women angry. Suggesting they not be out alone with even a single friend until two in the morning, gets another glare. I realize they shouldn’t have to modify their actions to be safe, but reality is reality. Be careful. Some of us out here worry about you.”
You should be given a medal.
Women NEED to start taking responsibility for their own safety and their own security. They need to stop getting pig drunk and think a bunch of drunken men will act like gentleman. They don’t.
Women need to grow up and American women in particular need to stop with the emotional immaturity and get with the program. These are dangerous times, getting worse.
And NOW it goes national.
Buh bye sicko creep!
Child molestation/incest is OK when your intentions are good, right Leni?
She is so over.
I mean, she’s literally confessing all this in her book.
A prosecutor’s dream come true.
As far as I can tell both she and her sister are whackjobs.
Any bets that the sponsors of her show and the network are having heart attacks?
It also means the end of her show; sponsors won’t touch her and the network will kick her out soon too.
You may contact HBO's Consumer Affairs Department at 212-512-1208 Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM Eastern Time. You can also email us at sitefeedbackgeneral@hbo.com.
Sponsors can drop the show and find another whose demos work and make their buys there.
It's a tough business, Lena.
What sponsors would these be? HBO is a pay cable network and doesn’t carry commercials.
Well, give me lashes with a wet noodle as the lady used to say.
It’s pretty obvious the parents’ attitudes triggered and likely rewarded the behavior, sadly. She probably learned to bribe her sister from adults bribing her for similar ... uh... “access.” I would pity her if she were still a child gone astray but she’s an adult now and if she has persisted in it, it his her responsibility.
I cannot imagine the hysterics that the studio executives will be engaging in. This woman is literally detailing her methods of sexual exploitation of a CHILD!
She’s practically bragging about it!
Done
Yeah, she says that her little sister did that all by herself at a near diaper age, but I have never heard of a little baby girl doing that before. I heard of peas and the like up the nose, but pebbles in the vagina by the child herself? I think that’s preposterous!
Excellent. I’m calling them tomorrow am... right after voting.
