Exactly.

at least she apologized~~~ i guess... which is far more than any male creator/actor/entertainer has yet to do in this damn universe or always taking an abusers side in this world. still she's trash, and shouldn't have even questioned her in the first place.

I hear you, Aurora. I believe you, Aurora."

she brought Aurora's mother onstage for the HR event, and I can't help but see Lena as being smug

A Quiz”; constantly being naked; tweeting a photo of herself wearing a scarf around her head like a hijab; accusing a Spanish magazine of airbrushing her photos (it did not); comparing Bill Cosby to the Holocaust; giving Horvath a brown baby at the end of Girls (and casting a baby that was Puerto Rican and Haitian, not half-Pakistani, as the script dictated); comparing the reading of negative Jezebel coverage to getting beaten in the face by an abusive husband; accusing NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. of not wanting to sleep with her; saying
