LENA DUNHAM HAS hit out at a magazine for featuring an image of her to advertise ’20 slimdown diet tips that stars are using’.

She listed her 20 slimdown diet tips on an Instagram post.

  • Anxiety disorder
  • Resultant constant nausea
  • An election that reveals the true depths of American misogyny
  • Sleeping 19 hours a day
  • Bladder spasm, urinary frequency and urgency
  • Having your phone number leaked and violent images text to your phone
  • Keeping your back arched against the wind

And finally:

This comes just weeks after an interview with Ellen Degeneres who asked her about the flack she got for losing weight. Lena told Ellen that “[she] spent six years of [her] career being called things like “bag of milk”, “baby cow” and “ageing cow” on the internet. [She] never felt self conscious about it”.

Lena remarked that this was evidence that there is no winning for women in Hollywood.
