Tessa Thompson Clarifies Lena Dunham Statement
This week #TimesUp movement facilitator, actress Tessa Thompson, seemingly apologized for diminishing writer Lena Dunham's contribution to the movement after Lena posted of picture of herself at a #TimesUp event despite publicly doubting actress Aurora Perrinau's account of being raped by Lena's friend and Girl's co-writer Murray Miller [click here if you missed that].
Tessa insists she wasn't apologizing...
It all started after Lena posted a picture of herself at a #TimesUp open house ahead of the Golden Globes and a fan asked Tessa why Lena wasn't being held accountable for publicly accusing Aurora Perrineau of lying about being raped.
After Tessa's social media comment went viral Tessa offered an explanation.
Last night Tessa clarified her statement.
