This is probably not the response Lena Dunham, 28, had intended for her first book, Not That Kind Of Girl. In her book, Lena writes that she touched her sister’s genitalia and tried to get her toddler sister to kiss her. After the excerpt went viral, Lena responded to the accusation on Twitter in a series of heated tweets.
The Girls actress has been slammed with a horrifying accusation that she molested her little sister. An excerpt from her new book, Not That Kind Of Girl, has made website Truth Revolt question whether or not Lena went too far with her sister.
Read the excerpt below:
“Do we all have uteruses?” I asked my mother when I was seven.
“Yes,” she told me. “We’re born with them, and with all our eggs, but they start out very small. And they aren’t ready to make babies until we’re older.” I look at my sister, now a slim, tough one-year-old, and at her tiny belly. I imagined her eggs inside her, like the sack of spider eggs in Charlotte’s Webb, and her uterus, the size of a thimble.
“Does her vagina look like mine?”
“I guess so,” my mother said. “Just smaller.”
One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn’t resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked.
My mother came running. “Mama, Mama! Grace has something in there!”
My mother didn’t bother asking why I had opened Grace’s vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. She just on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success.
Whoa. That’s so shocking for Lena to write something like that.
Lena also details her times masturbating in bed next to her younger sister, according to National Review Online. She said that she would bribe her sister with “three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds.”
She revealed that “anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.”
Once Lena heard about the shocking accusation, she took the opportunity to sound off on Twitter about it.
The right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn’t just LOL- it’s really fucking upsetting and disgusting.

And by the way, if you were a little kid and never looked at another little kid’s vagina, well, congrats to you.

“Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don’t demean sufferers, don’t twist my words, back the f**k up bros,” she continued. “I told a story about being a weird 7 year old. I bet you have some too, old men, that I’d rather not hear. And yes, this is a rage spiral.”
“Sometimes I get so mad I burn right up. Also I wish my sister wasn’t laughing so hard,” she said in her final tweet.
This is such a troubling situation all around.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Lena’s revelation in her book? Did she take advantage of her sister? Let us know.
