Lena Dunham and Donald Glover are back into this. Recently, Donald Glover and Lena Dunham got into a controversy that might have disappeared but we will be talking about it here. Donald Glover was presenting a Writers Guild award to Paul Simms and he commented on Lena.
Later, he admitted that it was a joke but the internet was already asking the reason behind it. Lena’s representatives also opened up to keep her part forward. Things got messed up. Well, this is not the first time they got into a controversy. Lena is already known as a racist to a majority of blacks.
She is a popular personality but got an outspoken personality in the media. The HBO series which was a very successful series in 2012, is her creation, and this series was criticized a lot. It is still criticized as all the main cast was white and the team said the series was revolving around the NYC life.
Donald Glover and Lena Dunham Controversy
It was the 75th Annual Writers Guild Awards, and Donald Glover was presenting a Writers Guild Award to Paul Simms. He said a statement referring to Paul that became one of the hottest headlines and triggered the audience. He said that when he asked Lena what made her decide to work with Paul, she said that this n—g let her work according to her wish.
He further said that he remember that Lena uses this N-word extremely liberally. Then he ranted saying who does she thinks she is, Chevy Chase. Well, Chevy Chase is an American comedian. This is not the first time that Lena has been accused of using the triggering word, N*.
Lena’s rep. defended her by denying that she used the word. But, the past accusations explain things differently. Racism is something that has dragged her into controversies since 2014. Her series, Th Girls was launched in 2012, and since then, she has had to face a lot of criticism.
Whenever she gets into these controversies, she stands up for herself which is good, no doubt. But, most of the people and the supporters looks disappointed by her answers. They say that she never gives a complete answer or a good answer.
Coming back to the recent controversy, Donald had shown up and said that it was just a joke and he didn’t target anyone. Lena’s rep. also stood up for her and said that she never used N-word. Fans are again not satisfied as she has been accused of it earlier as well.
