#LENA Dunham, the creator of hit television series Girls, has slammed claims by a right-wing American website that she molested her younger sister.
This is the passage in question:
“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.”
The review states:
“Lena Dunham’s sexual abuse, specifically, of her younger sister, Grace, [is] the sort of thing that gets children taken away from non-millionaire families without Andover pedigrees and Manhattanite social connections. Dunham writes of casually masturbating while in bed next to her younger sister, of bribing her with ‘three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds … anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying.’ At one point, when her sister is a toddler, Lena #Dunham pries open her vagina — ‘my curiosity got the best of me,’ she offers, as though that were an explanation. ‘This was within the spectrum of things I did.’”
