Don't call her fat, don't call her skinny, just don't comment!
Lena Dunham makes an appearance on Ellen today, and talks all about the criticism she received for losing weight. The Girls star recently started working out to combat her painful battle with endometriosis, and some fans were disappointed in her for slimming down.
"Well it's just so crazy because I spent six years of my career being called things like 'bag of milk' on the internet, you know 'baby cow,' 'aging cow.' I just never felt self conscious about it. Anyone who's going to take the time to say something negative about my weight on the internet wasn't someone I was particularly keen to impress anyway," she told the talk show host.
"Then I had this experience of my body changing and suddenly I had all these people being like, 'you're a hypocrite, I thought you were body positive. I thought you were a person who embraced bodies of all sizes,' and I'm like I do, I just also understand that bodies change, we live a long time, things happen. I was frustrated by it because it really was evidence that as a woman in Hollywood, you just can't win," she added.
We love her confidence!
