Lena Dunham Doesn't Like Rihsus Anymore
Lena Dunham Talks Rihanna, Chris Brown Relationship: 'It Cracks My Heart In Half'
Lena Dunham plays a disastrously forlorn character on her hit HBO show "Girls" -- at least when it comes to romance. But in real life, the 26-year-old creator and star isn't biting her tongue when judging others. In an interview with Alec Baldwin on his podcast "Here's the Thing," Dunham said that she "used to be really into" Rihanna but was ultimately turned off by the pop singer's recent reconciliation with Chris Brown.
An excerpt from Dunham's interview is below:
"[Being a role model] is amazing. It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s a platform that you have to take seriously. Which is why sometimes it’s like I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna. Like you know, she left Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy.
"She’s talented. And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years old."

hell's nice and toasty sis
Lena damnit gurl you need to shut that pasty-faced mouth of yours. pos.
lmao
i know exactly what she means by that Barbados comment, and it shows her ignorance as always
Jaysus.
you filthy hypocrite
Anyway, with Rihanna, it's a serious situation. But I think the solution is to have people who are actually close to her try and talk her out of this mess. What I don't like about this quote (and I'm assuming this is all of what she said and not just an excerpt) is that it's not doing anything but highlighting her mistake. And I feel like with a situation like this, which I take VERY seriously, I feel like if you're not talking advice/consequences/support, then it's better to just keep quiet as a public figure. Because she's still IN that toxic relationship.
I also feel like the media takes anything female celebs say about each other, and make it sound completely judgmental, and thats not fair.
