Anne Hathaway and Seth MacFarlane emerged as this year’s most polarizing personalities following Sunday’s Oscars, but Lena Dunham has picked a side…sort of.
“Hathahaters” snarked at the actress’ seemingly crafted persona during her run around the awards show circuit, but the “Girls” star and creator defended Hathaway via Twitter.
“Ladies: Anne Hathaway is a feminist and she has amazing teeth,” she wrote.
“Let’s save our bad attitudes for the ones who aren’t advancing the cause.”
After her own tweet got some negative comments, Dunham snapped, “Hey ragers. ‘The ones who aren’t advancing the cause’ I mentioned aren’t always, or mostly, women. Case in point: I saw your boobs.” Dunham was referring to the Oscar host’s cringe-inducing song, “We saw your boobs.”
Defending MacFarlane, a commenter then countered, “you mean reducing incredibly talented actresses performances to getting to see them topless isn’t advancing the cause!?!??”
Dunham, along with some of her “Girls” costars, frequently bare their breasts on the HBO show.
She had no further comments on the issue but later seemed to back off her stance.
She tweeted, “Now I’ve said something murky about women’s lib and will return to eating edamame/thinking about moving to Austin like I always do!”
