Lena Dunham: Life...You Know...Okay? I Can't Even...it Like, Comes at You Fast...Does That Make Sense? (MJ)

Live by the tampon, die by the...ug, its just too gross. I can't even.

Lena Dunham has apologized for comments she made supporting Girls writer Murray Miller, who has been accused of sexually assaulting actress Aurora Perrineau.

On Friday, after the claims against Miller were made public, Dunham took to Twitter to support Miller on behalf of herself and Girls executive producer Jenni Konner, saying, "We believe, having worked closely with [Miller] for more than half a decade, that this is the case with Murray Miller. While our first instinct is to listen to every woman's story, our insider knowledge of Murray's situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year."

Dunham was criticized widely for her statement.

On Saturday, she released an apology on Twitter, saying "I naively believed it was important to share my perspective on my friend's situation as it has transpired behind the scenes over the last few months. I now understand that it was absolutely the wrong time to come forward with such a statement and I am so sorry."

I feel like I keep saying the same things over and over again. These people...the self appointed culture leaders... are not bright. They can't even keep their own rules straight.

And one more thing: Lena Dunham and her millennial generation hipster idiots simply stole and updated the valley girl/Clueless schtick from the 80s and 90s. The awkward phrasing and the lilting upturn toward a question at the end of ever sentence; it's all been done before.

Hardest hit: Cher and Dionne. Ugh, as if!

Totally hardest hit: Jane Austen. It is a truth universally acknowledged that life, in possession of great irony, presents itself speedily.
