Lena Dunham Trolls Magazine For Hawking Her Diet Tips
Don’t put Lena Dunham on the cover of a magazine offering up “20 Slimdown Diet Tips Stars Are Using” unless you want her to unleash A+ trolling game on you.
The “Girls” creator took to Instagram to call out Us Weekly for including her on their weight loss cover, by giving an actual rundown of how she lost weight. Examples included: “anxiety disorder,” “marching your ass off,” “worrying ceaselessly about the health and safety of women you know and women you don’t,” and “constant sweaty dreams of dystopian future.”
Plus, Dunham added, she never gives out weight loss tips because it goes against everything she stands for.
“It’s not a compliment to me because it’s not an achievement thanx,” she concluded.
