Lena Dunham Facebook: She Reacts To Taylor Swift Naked In Kanye West's 'Famous' [VIDEO]
Lena Dunham is sickened by the recent release of Kanye West's music video for his latest single, "Famous."
After watching the clip, which features a number of celebrities, including Donald Trump, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Chris Brown, in the nude, the actress took to Facebook, where she shared an elaborate rant with fans.
"Let's break it down: at the same time Brock Turner is getting off with a light tap for raping an unconscious woman and photographing her breasts for a group chat... As assaults are Periscoped across the web and girls commit suicide after being exposed in ways they never imagined... While Bill Cosby's crimes are still being uncovered and understood as traumas for the women he assaulted but also massive bruises to our national consciousness... Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they've been drugged and chucked aside at a rager? It gives me such a sickening sense of dis-ease," Dunham wrote on Facebook on Monday.
"I'm sure that Bill Cosby doll being in the bed alongside Donald Trump is some kind of statement, that I'm probably being trolled on a super high level. I know that there's a hipper or cooler reaction to have than the one I'm currently having," Dunham continued. "But guess what? I don't have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn't look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films."
Dunham went on to admit that she hesitated to write her Facebook essay but ultimately decided to speak up as so many others had refrained.
"I hesitated a lot about saying anything cuz I figured the thinkpieces would come pouring in. But I didn't see this angle being explored as much as I had hoped. It's weird to feel like you're watching alone. I bet I'm not."
