Lena Dunham Is Not A Hypocrite For Losing Weight

We think it’s about time that we agree on this – Lena Dunham‘s body is her business.

The Girls creator stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday and discussed the backlash she received over her appearance at a Tracy Anderson Method event last week. “You look fantastic. You look really good,” host Ellen DeGeneres told the 30-year-old TV star. “You always look great, but I know that you got a lot of flack for losing weight, which is ridiculous.”

And we can’t agree more.

“It’s just so crazy because I spent six years of my career being called things like ‘bag of milk’ on the internet—’bag of milk,’ ‘baby cow,’ ‘aging cow.’ I just never felt self-conscious about it. I was like, ‘Anyone who is going to take the time to say something negative about my weight on the internet isn’t someone I was particularly keen to impress anyway,'”

Dunham continued, “Then I had this experience of my body changing. Suddenly I got all these people saying, ‘You’re a hypocrite. I thought you were body positive. I thought you were a person who embraced body types of all sizes,'” Dunham said. “I do. I just understand that bodies change. We live a long time. Things happen.”

Dunham also told DeGeneres she was “frustrated” by the focus on her appearance. “It really was evidence that as a woman in Hollywood, you just can’t win.” Dunham first addressed the backlash last week via Instagram.

Dunham added that she’s “proud of what this body has seen and done and represented.”

“Right now I’m struggling to control my endometriosis through a healthy diet and exercise,” she told her 3 million followers. “So my weight loss isn’t a triumph and it also isn’t some sign I’ve finally given in to the voices of trolls. Because my body belongs to ME—at every phase, in every iteration, and whatever I’m doing with it, I’m not handing in my feminist card to anyone.”

Frankly, we think Lena Dunham looks great at any weight and a woman’s body is ultimately the said woman’s business. Let a girl live without tweeting about her weight for once!
