Controversy: in 2014, Lena Dunham, the creator of Girls, has issued an apology after facing criticism for passages in her memoir that some see as describing the sexual abuse of her younger sister. The controversial passages from her book include an incident from when Dunham was seven, where she mentions examining her sister’s genitals when the latter was one year old. Dunham clarified that she does not condone abuse and expressed remorse if her book’s content has caused pain to readers. She also acknowledged that using the term “sexual predator” in a comic context was insensitive. Dunham emphasized her close relationship with her sister, Grace, and stated that anything written about her in the book was with her approval.
