Lena Dunham: Rihanna Dating Chris Brown Again “Cracks My Heart in Half”

Lena Dunham does not sound like she’s a member of Team Breezy.

The “Girls” creator weighed in on Rihanna and Chris Browns rekindled romance on Alec Baldwin’s podcast “Here’s The Thing” on Monday, saying the pair’s reconciliation “cracks my heart in half.”

Discussing the influence that celebrities and artists can have on fans, Dunham remarked, “It’s an amazing thing and it’s like, it’s a platform that you have to take seriously.”

“Which is why sometimes it’s like I used to be really into Rihanna, that pop star, and then it’s like again, I don’t want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna,” continued Dunham.

She explained, “Like you know, she left Barbados, she’s had this amazing career, she’s won a Grammy… She’s talented.”

“And then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed,” lamented the Golden Globe winner. “And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I’m 95 years old.”

It’s not the first time Dunham has remarked on the controversial couple.

Last February, she wrote on Twitter, “Rihanna and Chris Brown’s new duets make me want to go hide under Gloria Steinem’s bed for 72 hours.”

    Preach, Lena!

    I feel terrible for this generation

  • jackalexandria

    it’s just a way of getting attention. They’re both old news.

  • missylalawhite

    They got back together, so what? They’re grown adults and have both acknowledged and apologized for the past. If they can make it work this time then let them be happy and attempt to mend their relationship. If she wants to post pictures of them smoking weed then so be it, it’s her instagram and if Lena doesn’t like it then she needs to unfollow her. Same goes for anyone, if they have problems with what she posts then unfollow her.

  • OLD NEWS

    it’s all old news and yet people are talking about it. there is nothing you and i can do about chris and rihanna dating. if rihanna wants to be with chris and nothing bad happens to them then good for her. if he does it again, then it was her choice. she’s an adult who likes to have fun and likes to date bad p*ssy ass boys. the only reason this is a topic week after week is because these z-listers wants some attention.

  • Regina1180

    I would hardly call Lena Dunham a Z-lister. As long as the two of them shove their being back together out there, people are going to comment.

  • Mel

    I kinda highlights how pressed Lena is I mean I’d hardly call her the face of feminism or a role model with her trashy show so why is she all up in rihanna’s spot?

  • Rose

    I don’t see rhianna needing to be protected by anyone. Just because she is pretty and small doesn’t mean she is sweet or good. So I figure she’s evenly matched in Chris brown.

  • Rose

    Google Rihanna’s video s & m. She refers to herself as illuminati slut.

  • Guest

    Why is it that only black people defend the trash Rihanna and Chris brown does? Self destructive race at work

  • Kel Thomas

    first of all to all the haters shut up cuz they never confirmed they were back together that’s just wat err body think now if u wanna judge anybody judge yourself cuz who r 2 put them down yes ur intitled to ur opinon put when u go 2 far ur not and plus instead of judge them judge yourself bcuz u need to realize how many mistakes u made it doesent mean ur a bad person it just means your HUMAN yes one part in this paragragh she has a point but let her make her own mistakes DONT JUDGE HER ABOUT IT #THINK BOUT IT #RIRILUVSBREEZY #1LOVE

  • Kel Thomas

    excactly wat I been tryin 2 say #THANK U
    excact

  • Kaitlyn Cocuzzo

    Yeah they totally shouldn’t be back together.
    Chris and Rihanna are a terrible influence on kids, Chris for his behavior, and Rihanna for getting back with him. Shame that is what kids have to look up to these days….

  • guest

    Aren’t they kindof confirming it when they post pics of them in bed together???

  • Tracy Isham

    Rihanna is TRASH as is her loser boyfriend Chris Brown. she will not get a lot of sympathy this time around when he decides to beat her @ss again. so YOU think it’s okay for a man to beat a woman and for her to take him back as long he says he’s sorry?? all the sympathy and woe is me interviews after it happened and she puts herself in the same damn position for it to happen again is more than just a little bit stupid.

  • Tracy Isham

    and you’re just as stupid as they are. excuse me but what is an “err”?? i hope he beats her @ss again.

  • Ange

    Im such a big fan of both of them but as hard as it for me to admit it she has a good point they as indivisuals were so beautiful and talented and now I feel like both of them are on a path to destruction I really do wish them the best because I miss the old Rihanna and Chris Brown :(

  • GG

    everyone who has an opinion isn’t a hater, rather you speak it or not “err body” judges in one way or another, it is sad that people are so disgusting to one another but YOU have to understand that when it comes to people and there opinions all of us are arrogant

  • Jay

    saying things like “i hope he beats her @ss again” makes you just as bad as an abuser i bet you beat kids women and bunnies you ass

    Hi -

    @Lena –

    Young folks typicially don’t make the wisest choices…

    Rihanna is a diamond. Diamonds come from the ground, are shined, and cut,…to become sparkling jewels.

    Only GOD knows when such will happen for Rihanna – but INDEED it will…

  • http://profiles.google.com/missioneagles Sandra Renee Hicks

    @Guest – Hi –

    For real, it’s NOT only Black people who defend them…

    Your comment speaks volumes about your level – whatever color you are.

    You’ve certainly NOT expressed truths…

  • DL

    Oh you poor dear. I suggest you spend more time reading or looking in a dictionary than defending chris and rihanna (trash and trashier) because your writing is atrocious.

  • http://profiles.google.com/missioneagles Sandra Renee Hicks

    @Tracy – Hi-

    Rihanna is CERTAINLY trash. Your statement sure is….

    She doesn’t need your sympathy,… and what are you some jack leg fortune teller?

    For real, you don’t know what the future holds for Rihanna and Chris. Heck, you don’t even know what the future holds for your own life. An abuser may rise up in your own family and close connections…

  • http://profiles.google.com/missioneagles Sandra Renee Hicks

    @Kel- Hi -

    You may be inclined to consult a spelling guide – four misspelled words in your brief comments… And then you mention what you’ve been trying to say. Why not say it and NOT try?…

  • Tis

    Lena gets her 15 minutes of fame and feels entitled to m on other people’s business. Not a fan of Rihanna but she never comments on other people’s stuff.

  • http://profiles.google.com/missioneagles Sandra Renee Hicks

    @DL – Hi -

    OK, I’m not poor or your dear but clearly know that people have no legitimate rights to judge whether Chris and Rihanna should be back together. Chris publicly stated that he is single. If they do choose to resume their relationship, it’s their decision. It could be right or wrong. That remains to manifest…

    We’ve all made unwise choices. Young folks typically make a bunch of them.

    And as for Chris and Rihanna being a terrible influence on kids – kids should have parents that model decent and quality behavior. Good parents are healthy examples for their children and teach them how to model themselves properly. Regardless, the ugly aspects of society will be their realities also. Such is life… Well grounded children learn to make sensible judgments but they’ll still choose wrong sometimes. We all do…

    We live and learn. Some learn faster than others and some never get it together… For real, we don’t know who will and who won’t…

    Kids should look up to GOD, as should we all. He’s the only one who is perfect and His standards are the best…

  • http://profiles.google.com/missioneagles Sandra Renee Hicks

    @Tracy – Hi –

    I hope and believe that Chris won’t…

    People do positively reform…

  • Blacl Amy

    Why are WHITE WOMEN so concerned about BLACK 23-yr-old Chris Brown and BLACK 24 -year-old Rihanna Fenty? Where was this WHITE female to discuss SERIAL WIFE BEATERS: Michael Fessbender,Jeff Golblum, Charlie Sheen, Ozzy Osbourne, Sean Penn, Sean Connery, Eminem, Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Nicholas Cage, Richie Samboria, Michael Douglas, Sylvester Stallone, Mickey Rourke, Jackson Browne, Steven Seagal, James Talyor, Rodney Atkins, Alan Jackson, Tracy Lawrence, David Hasselhoff, Paul McCartney, Josh Brolin,Tom Sizemore, Alec Baldwin his brother Dan Baldwin, Micheal Lohan, Nick Carter, & John Furlong (was arrested twice in 2 weeks for domestic violence in Nov/December 2012? Why is this ugly fat cow not concerned about the white males and the white women they are involved with? Oh right they are WHITE LIKE HER so she says nothing!! alec baldwin beat Kim Basinger yet she is talking to him about Chris & Rihanna? Unbelievable white privilege!

  • Black Amy

    They were ot smoking weed. When was hat posted cause I know I missed it. They both smoke cigs and Rihanna smokes the ones she rolls from her island. It’s tabacco not weed!

  • Black Amy

    What? White ppl smoke more dope than anyone. 20 year wife beater and drug addict Charlie Sheen adimitted he was addicted to CRACK COCAINE- among other drugs – for over 20 years. What shade of black is he? How about Lindsay Lohan, Stephanie Bon Jovi, Noelle Bush and every other white male/female who have been in and out of drug rehab for doing actual hard drugs? Stop being a tool of the media who is tying to destroy Chris & Rihanna becuase they cannot control them!

  • Black Amy

    How do you think they feel when they are tryin got lie their young live and WHITE AMERICA along with weak and stupid black like Robin Roberts, Oprah Windfrey & Tara Banks have all gone out of their way to destroy them. Who cares if these kids date? They act like the devil is made that they two of them will create the second coming or something! My goodness what is the problem and why can ppl just mid their own damn business. Who is h eugly fat whit female anyway? She sure is fat and ugly! she should focus on herself!

  • Black Amy

    THANK YOU! Well said!!

  • Dan

    How are they shoving something in your face? It is the media that stalks them from their twitter, to their facebook to their IG accounts. No matter what they do or say the media is their to tear them down then you have fat lowlife cows like this thing to add her mouth to their pain. She needs to shut up and mind her own business!

  • OLD NEWS

    i wouldn’t even know her name if she never mention chris brown and rihanna. and how are they shoving to the whole world that they are back together. they never even tweet about each other or talk about each other. and the only reason people comment about this old news is because someone always talks about them. do you hear any a-listers talking about these two? HECK NO!

  • dannehlicious

    What she says is true. I think we should respect their privacy but having so many pictures of them and marijuana and everything is not setting a good example at all. I don’t care if you do it, just don’t publicize it SO much because you have a lot of young fans who do look up to you.

  • Lilyx0x

    i wouldn’t go as far as beat her ass again… but whatever happens to her it’s all in her hands now. i do believe that this shouldn’t even be a topic anymore. i’m pretty sure rihanna and chris brown’s domestic violence lasted longer than actors/actresses who have experienced or who have done this.

  • GooglyMoogly

    Lena does know that Rhianna was posting questionable pictures before she got back with Chris Brown, yes?
    These pop ‘stars’ have no clue how to be classy, they just care about “Look at how rebellious I am!”

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1663484158 Phalen Shearouse

    but they’re putting it up there for everyone to see! if they didn’t want people to see it and make a comment about it, why put it on a social media site?!

  • joe

    Lena Dunham has no room to talk about being a bad influence for young women. She talks about pictures of smoking weed when her horrible excuse for a show had a scene where all the characters got high on opium. She really is a hypocrite and not very talented.

  • http://www.facebook.com/cherphine.taylor Cherphine Taylor

    What ever gave you the idea that Robyn is TRASH…..always heard it takes one to know one….you go TRASH yuh know yuh own………..and the sympathy part, surley yours will not be needed…………

  • MightyMo

    This is all so simple:

    1. Don’t follow them on instagram or twitter if you don’t like them.

    2. Don’t look to any celebrity to be a role model, that is what your family is for.

    3. R choose to forgive Chris Brown who are we to tell her not to forgive?

    4. Live your own life! They are both human (just like us) and we will all make mistakes.

  • shidouwoss
  • Regina1180

    I guess the public is forcing them to post all over the web? People would not give a crap if they weren’t so public about it.

  • Mulan

    I’m still trying to figure out why everybody and their mother cares , and i really meant that- Why do you care about two people who dont give a F#$%k about you and not shy in saying so-If you really care about domestic violence theirs countless of Children, Women and Men who are really suffering and need help- you can donate or at least volunteer at domestic violence program in your area. But commenting about Rihanna and Chris to very rich people who don’t care about what say about them, makes no sense to me at all

  • J F

    Uh … what business is it of yours??? Take care of your own house and stop commenting on what someone else is doing.

  • http://twitter.com/LittleMammaNiki Niki Pitcavage

    If you don’t like their relationship don’t pay attention to it. If the abuse of women bothers you then volunteer at a women’s shelter or make a donation instead of saying negative things.

  • http://twitter.com/LittleMammaNiki Niki Pitcavage

    And she randomly told reporters that she wasn’t wearing any underwear at some awards show recently. She was right about glass houses and not throwing stones…. Except she forgot about the not throwing part.

  • Wayne

    Yes I agree some people find it a little too easy to judge and people can change, who knows what Chris has learnt from this or Rihanna for that matter, They could do with some dating tips http://hot5datingtips.com/category/tips/ sure but couldnt we all?

  • laikatom

    I just fell sorry for her and the message she give to young girl. He beat her and she come back with him it is very sad.

  • Martina

    I don’t now this girl, and she once made a comment that I did not like, but I need to agree with what she says right now.
    If its hypocritical of me? Maybe! But I simply agree with her. With all what she said in that interview.

  • Martina

    No disrespect, but what you saying is that we all can do what we wish to. So what you believes in is anarchy.
    Would you like to see any celebrity posting pics of them
    Having sex, doing drugs, killing animals?!
    You need to realise that although kids should not look up to them, they do. And what that makes of us, to glorify people with sick minds just because they have the potential to sing, act and being pretty?
    I believe every parent should explain to their child why is that pic wrong, that it makes this celebrity a low life child should not be interested in, and make sure they will not.
    If we step so low that we starts to apologise every piece of garbage out there because we like their music or acting, we all are creating corruption of right and rightest.

  • Martina

    Well, let me say this to you. Anyone who works in police department or personal protection will tell you one thing. If someone is able to let his feelings loose and beat up another person is an issue and will alway be. There is a difference between temper and temper. People who can have a temper issues demonstrating them with arguing, raising voices, or mental break-down. That could also signalise deeper inner issue that should be addressed. Once person is enable control his temper and that goes physical, it’s a clear sign that the person it’s a suspect of aggressive personality that means he feels right about getting physical and actually don’t feel any remorse, as he would do that again, anytime. Any police officer giving a strict and straight advice to the victim to stay away from the attacker as far as possible. Once victim accepting the stacker back in
    her life, she is giving him even more justification to his action. Something like: woman likes to be beaten as she likes a lord( leader) in her house, she knows she had deserve that, she accepting to be under masters rule.
    Process of rehabilitation is very complex and taking years to be successful. So for any woman who has been abused to getting back with her attacker is clear sign that she is weak and he got too much control over her, or she simply likes that. The last statement is very rare, as we often see woman making this choice as they are in difficult financial situation or they are under certain threat created by abuser.
    Rihanna however, made her mind voluntarily. As it seems.
    Yes, we don’t know what future holds. We don’t know if our sisters and brothers will not become abusers one day too.
    And I see we can certainly rationalise any crap and make it a holy piece out of it.
    Your rationalising is something that police officer is against every single day when he tries to explain the victim who has been beaten for a 10th times that it’s not ok to beat a woman and if she will not leave him, she may end up dead eventually.

  • Martina

    Just wondering, do you have any proof of that statement? Simple curious. I would like to see that text. Would you pass me a detail where did you got that information from, who made a research and where it has been published? Thank you.

  • Martina

    I agree with you. It makes no difference what colour of skin you are, drugs and domestic violence is everywhere. But I believe that person stated the fact that commenters defending Rihanna and Brown in this article are black. Still, it has no value, as it does not make any difference.

  • Martina

    Sandra, if I may, and please don’t be offended, but there are people here who have the same opinion as you, can’t spell at all, and you did not seem to correct their grammar. Well, my grammar is not good, as I am
    not English speaker. But I like to suggest, if you have a problem with certain comment, it’s fair to comment on that, than to goes after someone else’s grammar. It’s a double edge sword and little bit desperate, believe me.

  • Martina

    White ugly female?! Can I say about Brown that he is an ugly black man?’
    Bunch of people here would attack me for being a racist.
    Now listen to me, because you trying way to hard!
    Celebrity unfortunately is out there, and we, public, have the rights to share our opinions as we are the ones who made them. They both cherish their fans because without them they both would be in the line for welfare.
    What you need to accept is that wife beater is a big no- no!
    Public disagree with any wife beater to being glorified. And it doesn’t matter what colour of skin they are.
    Rihanna brought that on herself.
    Pics of her beat up face were all over the world, public . , as they should , took a stand.
    So for you morning here why people can’t leave them alone, is like when you would wonder why people make a big deal of killing animals for fur when everyone wears it. It’s calls morals and values.
    From your statement is clear that you are defending them for the race card, as you mentioned in you comment more than once. You giving your community a bad name. Bad people should not be respected and glorified and you just doing it because they are both black.
    You have no right to make comments as you are simply one big racist.
    Your issues with white people is laughable and just shows your level of intellect.

  • Martina

    No! You are making a racial thing from this! As typical. To pulling a race card anytime it pleases you.
    We don’t differentiate domestic abuse between the races . We simply refusing to accept that THAT is acceptable.
    You are justifying them on one hand, and the other hand you are complaining about women beaters( white only of course). You can’t have it both ways! You are either justifying domestic violence or standing against it.
    It’s not a race problem.
    You are shaping it to be a race problem.
    You are racist and you should be blocked.
    Sometimes people telling me that the biggest racists are black people. I always dismissed that. I don’t know what to think anymore.
    Shame on you!!!!

  • Martina

    Hi Lena, she might be diamond that needs to be cut, she also could become shattered like a glass.
    As much as I don’t care about a singer who like to sing about being beaten because its excite her, I hate to see her being a role models to many young girls who just tries to figure out how to live. Therefor it’s ok when public addressing her decision to be back with Brown with criticism.
    Me, for sure, would make sure that children know good from
    Wrong. However, after reading certain comments, other or potential children may needs some help.
    Rihanna is a beautiful girl, she has nice voice, and very catchy songs, but she is also public figure and whatever she does may have certain influence. Public figures supposed to be a mirror of society.
    Sadly…..no!
    But they needs to be!

  • Martina

    Very true! But if parents and adults justifying Rihanna’s decision to get back together with abuser than what you expect from children!?
    I had the chance to be a part of discussion when teenagers actually rationalised Rihanna and Brown relationship as they could not bring themselves to judge a favourite singer. Well, it was hard to listen those arguments!

  • June

    Riahanna is a stupid bitch and always will be anytime a woman take a man back that beat her ass she is really a pathetic bitch she will never learn any since at all.

  • Martina

    Hold on…..isn’t this what you should expect?!
    If she accepting abuser then she accepting abuse!
    People’s reaction could be anger!
    Some may say that she deserved what she have got!
    And as much as I disagree, after her decision to get back together with abuser, I would not feel sorry for her.
    It’s her invitation to be abused.
    She did made her choice.
    I believe, that this is the real reason that get people so angry.
    They pitied her, she laughing at their faces now.
    So don’t judge someone for typical human reaction.

  • Martina

    Exactly. Thank you.

  • Martina

    Well, that’s true. Her videos have signs of illuminati propaganda. My question is, how someone who was beaten can sing about S&M sex?’
    Maybe she likes to be beaten?!

  • Rose

    Well you know, that’s a good question. Maybe she does and maybe she ‘started it.’. I raised my son to run and hide if a girl/woman ever said to him, “you think you are a big man’ go ahead and hit me”. I mean, I have heard females do that all my life, complete with pushing and screeching at them. I warned him because it’s easy to lose your cool, and then be branded forever, even if she was the guilty party, if she ‘gets hit’ he loses. Some women are witches. Btw it is being discussed to put women into the draft now that they are now entitled to fight in combat. Myself, I don’t think women should be forced into serving. Don’t think we have or should have, the hardness to kill for a living. What do you think?
