Lena Dunham has finally given her views on the controversy surrounding the allegedly retouched photos of her that appeared in Vogue.

US site Jezebel sent out a call for the original pictures in exchange for a cash reward, and was successful – and Dunham has now slammed them for their actions.

Speaking with Bill Simmons for his podcast, she said:

“That was messed up.”

The Girls actress elaborated:

“I think Jezebel can be really smart and funny, I think it’s just that once you’ve been attacked in that way, it’s hard to enjoy. Once you feel they’ve made such a monumental error in their approach to feminism.

“It felt gross.”

Girls, Dunham’s show, is currently airing its third season in both the US and the UK.
