Lena Dunham Slams Kanye West's "Famous" Music Video

Lena Dunham held nothing back today when sharing her not-so-raving review of Kanye West's new "Famous" music video. The video, which debuted over the weekend, controversially features naked wax figures of celebrities laying in bed together including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Taylor Swift, Donald Trump, Bill Cosby, Kim Kardashian, President George W. Bush, Amber Rose and Ray J, with West himself nestled in the middle. But Lena Dunham doesn't think it's "cool" or even "art."

The actress took to her Facebook page to share a lengthy rant against the rapper's new video which she deemed, "disturbing," "sickening" and "unsafe for women." In the post, Dunham began by stating she had nothing but love and respect for not only Yeezy himself but also for the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan writing, "I admire that whole family, love the way they depict women as better in numbers and masters of their own destiny. I'd spend all summer at Kamp Kardashian."

Dunham then went on to call out the untimeliness of the controversial video, which featured the naked bodies of women like Rihanna, Anna Wintour, Amber Rose and Dunham's close friend, Taylor Swift, without their permission, thus making women feel unsafe:

"...At the same time Brock Turner is getting off with a light tap for raping an unconscious woman and photographing her breasts for a group chat... As assaults are Periscoped across the web and girls commit suicide after being exposed in ways they never imagined... While Bill Cosby's crimes are still being uncovered and understood as traumas for the women he assaulted but also massive bruises to our national consciousness... Now I have to see the prone, unconscious, waxy bodies of famous women, twisted like they've been drugged and chucked aside at a rager? It gives me such a sickening sense of disease."

Dunham continued:

"I know that there's a hipper or cooler reaction to have than the one I'm currently having. But guess what? I don't have a hip cool reaction, because seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn't look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films."
