Being a Leftist is a very miserable existence.
‘Flamboyant Republican conservative’ who Lena Dunham claims raped her in college ‘does not exist’, new report claims
Rape claims: In her memoir Not That Kind of Girl, Lena Dunham (seen here in New York on December 2) alleges she was raped in college. A new media investigation claims there is no proof of the man she describes
- Actor, 28, alleges that she was raped at Oberlin College in her memoir Not That Kind Of Girl
- Media investigation at the Ohio campus found no proof of the man she describes in the book as her alleged attacker
