Lena Dunham Alleges Girls Co-Star Adam Driver Subjected Her to Volatile Behaviour

Dunham says Driver was “spectacularly rude” and describes him throwing a chair, punching a wall and screaming at her on the Girls set.

  • On Tuesday, writer-actress Lena Dunham released her memoir Famesick, alleging that Girls co-star Adam Driver was "spectacularly rude" on set, screaming in her face and throwing a chair at a wall near her.
  • During the production of the HBO series Girls, Dunham describes feeling like "lambs to the slaughter" amid intense scrutiny. She lacked the authority to confront Driver, believing "that's what great male geniuses do: eviscerate you."
  • Specific incidents recounted in the book include Driver allegedly punching a hole in his trailer wall and hurling a chair during rehearsal. Dunham attributes her silence to dissociation caused by then-undiagnosed endometriosis.
  • Adam Driver has not publicly responded to these claims. He previously praised the set as "collaborative" and "open," contrasting sharply with Dunham's account of her experience.
  • Beyond these allegations, Famesick explores Dunham's health battles, her marriage to Luis Felber, and her tumultuous professional partnership with Jenni Konner. The memoir reflects on her rapid rise to stardom at age 25.
