Lena Dunham is NOT happy with Kanye West.
After seeing a fake naked version of her squadmate Taylor Swift in the controversial rapper’s Famous video, the Girls creator had a very specific reaction: disgust.

In a lengthy, poignant diatribe posted directly to Facebook, Lena explained that the video’s imagery evoked to her not artistic expression of how we view fame — but rather the exploitative, dangerous way too many men view women!
She explained:
“As assaults are Periscoped across the web and girls commit suicide after being exposed in ways they never imagined… 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.”
While she felt the vid was an affront to girls everywhere, it was the specific women used in the video that really turned Lena’s stomach. She said:
“I don’t have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (f*ck that one hurt to look at, I couldn’t look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna [Wintour], 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.”
