Lena Dunham has slammed 'gnarly' body and fat shaming comments she received after sharing her recent wedding photos, and her weight gain since she 'was last on television.'
The 35-year-old Girls creator tied the knot with musician Luis Felber, 35, last week, with Taylor Swift as her bridesmaid, and went back on social media to post the happy news.
However, after reading some of the negative response about her appearance, Dunham was inspired to write a lengthy reply to her Instagram on Wednesday.
Hitting back: Lena Dunham has slammed 'gnarly' body shaming comments after sharing her weight gain and wedding photos, in a new Instagram post on Wednesday
'It's a little too easy to feel the glow of support and forget about the cesspool lurking behind it,' she said about sharing her special day on social media. 'So I took a peek, and saw some gnarly s***, most not worth responding to or even sharing with you.'
But the star said one narrative of the comments was that she should 'somehow be ashamed because my body has changed since I was last on television.'
'Firstly "did Lena eat the cast of Girls" just isn't a very good joke.' she said, adding: 'Secondly, it's ironic to have my body compared to a body that was also the subject of public scorn - an echo chamber of body shaming.'
