[i]"It comes after Lena hit out at US blog, Truth Revolt, after it published an article claiming that the Girls start had described “sexually abusing” her younger sister Grace during an exert from her memoir. In one revelation, Lena recalls an incident when she found her sister had inserted pebbles into her own vagina, writing: "One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me. Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked. My mother didn't bother asking why I had opened Grace's vagina… It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there.
Dunham's lawyers are now demanding that the article is taken down.

On Saturday, HBO’s Lena Dunham sent a “cease and desist” letter to TruthRevolt demanding that we remove an article we posted last Wednesday on sections of her book, Not That Kind of Girl. The letter threatened legal action if we did not both remove that article, as well as print a note, the suggested language of which read as follows:
Quote:Quote:
We recently published a story stating that Ms. Dunham engaged in sexual conduct with her sister. The story was false, and we deeply regret having printed it. We apologize to Ms. Dunham, her sister, and their parents, for this false story.
We refuse. We refuse to withdraw our story or apologize for running it, because quoting a woman’s book does not constitute a “false” story, even if she is a prominent actress and left-wing activist. Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book – and the First Amendment covers a good deal of material she may not like.
I'm no lawyer but sounds like she's in for major disappointment.
