Lena Dunham Threatens To Sue Truth Revolt For Quoting Her
Truth Revolt ^ | 11/3/14 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 11/03/2014 8:41:48 AM PST by jimbo123

Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book.

On Saturday, HBO’s Lena Dunham sent a “cease and desist” letter to TruthRevolt demanding that we remove an article we posted last Wednesday on sections of her book, Not That Kind of Girl. The letter threatened legal action if we did not both remove that article, as well as print a note, the suggested language of which read as follows:

We recently published a story stating that Ms. Dunham engaged in sexual conduct with her sister. The story was false, and we deeply regret having printed it. We apologize to Ms. Dunham, her sister, and their parents, for this false story.

We refuse. We refuse to withdraw our story or apologize for running it, because quoting a woman’s book does not constitute a “false” story, even if she is a prominent actress and left-wing activist. Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book – and the First Amendment covers a good deal of material she may not like.

In particular, the letter from Ms. Dunham’s lawyers labeled as “false and defamatory” our claims that she “experiment[ed] sexually with her younger sister Grace,” “experimented with her six-year younger sister’s vagina,” and “use[d] her little sister at times essentially as a sexual outlet.” In her desire to curb First Amendment freedoms, Dunham’s attorneys threatened legal action seeking “millions of dollars; punitive damages which can be a multiple of up to ten times actual damages; and injunctive relief.”

We assume that both Ms. Dunham and her attorneys are capable of reading Ms. Dunham’s book, which contains the following direct excerpts:

Maybe she thinks Truth Revolt doesn’t have the financial backing to fight, unlike National Review.

She’s still got to come to grips with the fact that a trial involves depositions & publicity. If she wants her sick quotes to receive broad and in-depth attention, she should go forward. If she wants the whole, ‘I plied my baby sister with bribes just as any child molester would,’ stink/ick fest to die down, she’ll leave it alone.

Just imagine the words which should horrify her: "The defense calls Grace Dunham to the stand."

I wonder if she has an audio version of her book available with herself doing the reading. That would be a great thing to submit as evidence. Ha!

her parents are nutcases - the mother had naked pictures of herself in “interesting positions” all over their house. their children were exposed to things children do not need to be exposed to, certainly not at that age. Lena thinks it’s normal, but it is not.

"Dunham Facebook post. Sick!"

-------------------------------------->

Very twisted. Isn't there a crime about posting such photos of 5-year- olds?

Looks like Jimmy Kimmel on Twitter supports child molesters:

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

"After having lost her virginity to Obama in 2012...

That's impossible unless she was dressed as a male homo for obamatollah.

But then she looks like an ugly male homo so not sure where this rant is going.

This cross-dressing homo sure makes it damn confusing....

This creature is quoted in the article as saying,
“Who hasn’t looked into their seven year old sister’s vagina?”
Lefty creep .... but I repeat myself.

She, her sister, and mom are in a movie called ‘Tiny Furniture’. It’s on YT.

I'm SO confused by this. What one year old girl puts rocks in her vagina?

And giggles about the joke she just played on her mom and 7 year old sister Lena?

Did I misread that?

Is a 1 year old capable of such reasoning power?

And why would it happen be THAT very special day when she "knew" her sister would be looking at her vagina's inner parts?

Slander is saying something false about someone, and libel is writing something false about someone.

Never seen anyone so outraged by their own book.
