Dunham suffers from a connective tissue disorder known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) that, she says, could have led to potentially fatal complications.<\/p>\n<p>All of this unfolded after Dunham had emerged from the darkest period of her life. A \u201c50-car pileup,\u201d is how she puts it. It began during the final season of&nbsp;<em>Girls<\/em>&nbsp;in 2016, when the pressures of churning out the hit series while being cudgeled daily on social media and in the press \u2014 taking hits for everything from her looks to her many well-documented PR gaffes \u2014 finally cracked her foundations. The right was calling her a child molester (based on a revelation in her 2014 memoir that at age 7 she\u2019d examined her baby sibling\u2019s genitals); the left was calling her a traitor (for defending&nbsp;<em>Girls<\/em>&nbsp;writer\/executive producer Murray Miller, whom actress Aurora Perrineau accused of rape, which he denied \u2014 and which Dunham later walked back and apologized for). And she was falling apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose images of me at the last&nbsp;<em>Girls<\/em>&nbsp;premiere, skinny and hollow-eyed, that was 100 percent my appetite and my body just shutting down in response to that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Nowhere does the profile mention that Dunham was not only caught red-handed falsely accusing an innocent campus Republican of rape in her memoir<em> Not That Kind of Girl<\/em>&nbsp;but that she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2014\/12\/10\/for-months-lena-dunham-knew-barry-one-was-under-suspicion-and-said-nothing\/\">stood silently by<\/a> and said nothing in the aftermath as this person\u2019s life and reputation were destroyed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dear <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kmcdonovgh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@kmcdonovgh<\/a> thank you for giving voice to what I could not say: <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/zW9tiMPm6P\">http:\/\/t.co\/zW9tiMPm6P<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lena Dunham (@lenadunham) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lenadunham\/status\/523358954152161280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 18, 2014<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On top of that, nowhere does the profile mention that Dunham was eventually forced to acknowledge she falsely accused this innocent man of rape and that the resulting blowback forced her publisher, Random House, to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2014\/12\/08\/ramdom-house-says-barry-one-not-dunhams-rapist-many-questiones-unanswered\/\">correct<\/a>&nbsp;the just-released memoir.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Imagine living in such an elite and rarified world where you can use a memoir to falsely accuse an innocent man of rape, get caught, and in listing your controversies, the corporate media airbrushes that shameless episode right out of your history, just disappears it for the good of The Cause.<\/p>\n<p>And this is something that <em>must be<\/em> air-brushed out away because there is no way to spin Dunham\u2019s obscene behavior. It\u2019s easy to wrist-flick the \u201cmolestation\u201d allegation into an overreaction by \u201cmean right-wingers,\u201d but not a rape hoax. To date, this is something Dunham has never been made to answer for by the media.<\/p>\n<p>To sell her memoir, Dunham deliberately accused an innocent man of rape \u2014&nbsp; a man who now has a life, career, and family. That false accusation was the most significant part of her promotional campaign. And then, as his life was dismantled, she said nothing \u2014 not one word to get this poor, innocent guy off the hook.<\/p>\n<p>And naturally, during her memoir\u2019s media campaign, the media never once questioned her story. It was only after Breitbart News did an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2014\/12\/03\/investigation-lena-dunhams-republican-rapist-story-falls-apart-under-scrutiny\/\">in-depth investigation<\/a> into the allegation and discovered it was all a lie that the truth finally came out.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s life in the corporate media\u2019s velvet bubble\u2026 All your sins disappeared\u2026 No accountability\u2026 Only gushing cover profiles.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lena Dunham, a leftist who was caught falsely accusing an innocent man of rape, has a new movie coming out.
