You should. I’m poor as fuck.

Oh honey. asshole moms are the worst. My mother is pretty OK, but she would make sure I wrote nice things about her so she could go around & show it to her friends.

That person is make the most absurd assumptions to accuse someone of sexual abuse. Wtf. Thanks for your comment. I’m feeling really incredulous about this.

She was 11 when she did it, and the book didn’t specify if it was on the mouth, to my recollection.

Haven’t you heard? The Beatles were even more famous than Jesus.

Fair enough lol

Yo the other James Wood, the fellow who writes about books! I love me some James Woods as well, but I’d rate Rob Lowe’s sleazy ass memoir above it tbh

I’m a librarian with no major shakeups in my life. My chances of being offered a memoir deal is about the same as me fucking Tom Hiddleston. If the latter happened, the former would follow.

If someone paid you 3 mill to write a memoir and you didn’t do it, I’d honestly trap you in my basement & force you to write it and use the money for myself. Make shit up yo! Money is money. Screw artistic integrity!

K hon.

There’s a difference which you’re ignoring. Everything Lena did had an explanation - was it emotionally manipulative and needy? Yes. Does she have no boundaries? Yes. Was it sexually abusive? The way Lena wrote it - no, it wasn’t.

Yep. I bet Kara or Jia would write one if they were getting paid sweet for it.

Read The Boys Of My Youth by Jo Ann Beard - read the first chapter and see if it gets you warmed up, if it does, then you will LOVE it.

Hot take : Write your goddamn memoir, get your bloody advance. If you’re sick of other people’s memoirs, don’t read them! Pick out something you like and read that instead, instead of complaining about how people shouldn’t write memoirs. If somebody paid me to write a memoir, I’d go for it, even knowing that it’s…

Her sister came out & said she never felt violated or felt like she was being viewed sexually by her sister. You saying her sister felt abused & is lying about it? You know it doesn’t work like that, right? The “victim” gets to decide if we should “victimize” her in the Court of Public Opinion.

I’m not attacking her. I’m simply pointing out that it’s not keeping things in perspective - it was NOT hard at all for her. Many musicians, when they talk about hard it was to make it, are speaking the truth, because even though they are pop stars, it’s a Satanic industry that crushes hopeful souls on a daily basis.…

I did read it - I wasn’t shocked, really. She sure inherited those bank skills too. What really irritates me is that she had this shitload of money to use to create an awesome album, and only comes up with the most bland, unoriginal pop. It’s not groundbreaking, and she relies on giving out coy statements in…

She bribed her sister for kisses because her sister was distant and was not affectionate at all & Lena Dunham was needy as hell. She masturbated next to her sleeping sister because she had to masturbate 8 times, OCD and all. She found rocks in her sister’s vagina when she was 7 and immediately informed her mother. See…

Yep. It’s also not that hard for her because she didn’t have tour for money, just for exposure. Touring for money is long & tiring. Her daddy bought a part of her label for her so she’d have creative control - not that she did very much with the creative control, but her journey is absolutely not the same as the…

Me too. I’ve tried to stop reading about this, but SO many people are defending this perv for the most insane reasons. I’ve had 3 people tell me to “let someone who has not sinned cast the first stone” as though everybody who’re dissing this family has molested a kid or something. Wtf.
