Lena Dunham threatens multi-million dollar lawsuit against website
Daily Mail ^ | 15:09 EST, 5 November 2014 | Ashley Collman

Posted on 11/05/2014 1:23:55 PM PST by CorporateStepsister

Lena Dunham is now threatening to sue the right-wing website which last week published an article claiming she sexually abused her little sister when they were children.

The claim is based on an excerpt from the Girls star and creator's new book, Not That Kind of Girl, and details how she once looked at her sister Grace's vagina when her sibling was a year old and she was seven.

Lena defended the action as innocent childhood exploration based on curiosity, but the website Truth Revolt called the memory 'unsettling' and disturbing'.

Since then, she has been in a war of words with the site, which refused to take down or apologize for their piece titled 'Lena Dunham Describes Sexually Abusing Her Little Sister'.

This is a good day.

Obama trounced, Republicans back in control, and now the most annoying possible hipster icon has ended up being worked up over the exposure of her perversions to the point where she will be taking a right wing website to court, which will further expose her perversions and drag this scandal along, further damaging her even more.

How is there even a legal case?

She wrote about these things which happened with her sister. She wrote it in her book. Her book is publicly available. The site is quoting what she wrote in her book. Someone tell me where any sort of legal violation, or legal libel/slander/accusations of any kind are involved.

Dude, if there is a lawsuit and trial, I’m starting a live thread and we can snark on there.

She’s getting reactive and upset since she probably got a call from HBO with a hysterical television executive on the phone.

Makes for a great basis for tort reform legislation. Multimillion suit against media to supress factual info. All based on agenda. Chilling effects. Oh yea. Sue baby. SUE!!!

The website made no such claims of course. Her book did.

Is this a story on her original threat, or has she doubled-down/escalated?

She may believe she is a hipster, but she is no different than the likes of the Honey Boo Boo gang. Mama June with a college degree.

Can’t wait for discovery requests from the Defendant’ ‘s attorney that will make her wish she’d never filed a lawsuit. She thinks her image is tarnished now? Wait til they get going.

The truth is not the liberal’s friend. It exposes the scum for what they really are.

The DM is no longer accepting comments.
I only clicked on the article to read the British response. I bet there would have been gold there.

Even if she had not written up the case against herself and published it, there would still be a very high burden of proof for her in terms of libel and slander because she is a public figure.

She does not have a hoof to stand on.

There isn't remotely a legal claim there. If she is foolish enough to file a lawsuit, it will be bounced long before there is any discovery or a trial.

that’s what I thought. Legally she has no real case here.

And if she insists on filing suit, it will only bring more attention to what she wrote.
