Lena Dunham slams accusations that she sexually abused her sister

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Lena Dunham defended herself on Twitter Saturday after website Truth Revolt accused her of having molested her little sister based on an except from the actress' book, Not That Kind of Girl.

In a piece titled "Lena Dunham Describes Sexually Abusing Her Little Sister," the conservative website wrote that the Girls star "describes using her little sister at times essentially as a sexual outlet" several times in her memoir. Specifically, the website points to an essay where Dunham admits that her 7-year-old self once "spread open" her sister's genitalia while the two played outside with pebbles.

"She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked. 'Mama, Mama! Grace has something in there!" the actress wrote.

"My mother didn't bother asking why I had opened Grace's vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. She just on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success."

Dunham fired back on social media writing that allegations that she sexually abused her younger sister were "upsetting and disgusting."

The actress ended her rant by stating that she'd likely be more upset if her sister, the one she allegedly molested, "wasn't laughing so hard."

Dunham's remarks about her sister have garnered a mainly negative response from social media users who have accused the actress's passage of being "disturbing" and her of being a "rapist."
